VistaPrint is known for its printing services that help customers create a wide range of high-quality custom materials thanks to its easy-to-use design tools. Although known for its popular business cards, did you know you can also turn to the brand for all your baby shower needs? VistaPrint has impressively adorable baby shower selections that offer moms-to-be a one-stop shop for sourcing invitations, thank you cards, decor, balloons, and more!
Whether you’re hosting a shower for a friend or your sister or planning your own, get all of the details down without having to turn to multiple vendors, which gets chaotic and expensive. Most retailers offer invitations and decor, but it never seems just right for what you’re looking for. That’s why customizing all of the decor is the best course of action. But don’t get discouraged if you don’t have any design experience; the website makes you feel like an expert since the editing tool guides you through every step, from adding text to planning colors and prints on every item.

Invites
I wish I discovered this site when I was expecting because VistaPrint’s designs and editing tools make creating the exact shower invites you want so simple.
When you decide on a design that catches your eye, choose the trim of your invites — the brand offers rounded edges, standard, or with a ticket trim. Next, you have to go to the text screen, which helps you add the shower details, venue address, and the mother’s or baby’s name to the front of the card. The editing tool also guides you through adjusting any colors you need. You can add embossed foil and choose the card size and orientation. VistaPrint leaves no detail out.
VistaPrint "A Sweet Little Lady" Invitation
VistaPrint offers the cutest invite designs like this ladybug theme. The front of the invite is designed with pink and green artwork announcing your little girl is on her way. There is a space to include the mother-to-be’s name and shower details. The reverse side has a repeating ladybug and vine pattern to complete the invitation. The intricate design costs under $1 per invite, which makes them an affordable option.
Decor
Whether you need to get all the decor for your shower or pick up a few last-minute items to complete your decor scheme, head to VistaPrint for your needs. We can’t get enough of these tailor-made cocktail napkins that wow your guests. The napkins come in quantities of 50 to 250; the more you buy, the less the cost per napkin. You can edit the napkins much like the popular invitation cards. You can choose the designs, text, color scheme, and more, all in a few easy steps!
VistaPrint Custom Baby Shower Cocktail Napkin
Get creative with the text and shades on the napkins with the editing tool, as well as VistaPrint’s design features like the arrange, align, and cropping tools.
Balloons
Party City and other party goods retailers used to be the simplest way to secure the best balloons for gatherings, especially baby showers. But with so many shuttering and closing their doors to customers, it causes limited selections at locations near you. Plus, it typically requires you to travel to multiple stores to piecemail everything you need for your shower. To cut down on all of the steps it takes to get the exact colors and printers of balloons, VistaPrint offers those, too.
VistaPrint Customized Baby Shower Balloons
VistaPrint has hundreds of balloon designs to choose from, like this gender-neutral pick, which is customizable to pair perfectly with other baby shower decor. Start by choosing the size of the balloons: Small (6-inches with air), medium (11-inches with air), and large (22-inches with helium). Next, select the shape — round or hearts. Then, click into the text field, making adding your text and other essential notes a breeze. The edit screen also lets you change the background, graphics, and colors. VistaPrint takes it a step further and has an option to add a QR, which is perfect for creating a space for your guest to upload photos from the shower.
Photo Gifts as Souvenirs
Your baby shower hostess should also consider gifting a personalized item to your guests so everyone can remember the special day. VistaPrint offers a variety of items that won’t get tossed in the trash. Shop customized keychains, baseball caps, and mugs. The mugs are a functional way to send your guests off after celebrating.
VistaPrint 2-Sided Customized Mug
To customize the mug, choose the design that best fits the baby shower theme or the mother-to-be’s preferences. Once you choose the design, you can edit the mug. The “edit” screen allows you to type your text onto the cup line by line until you have everything you need. You can even adjust the saturation and colors of the design. There is also an option to add more text and designs to the back of the mug. And when you need help, there is a virtual design assistant to stand by to help.
Thank You Cards
If you customize baby shower invites through VistaPrint, creating thank you cards that match will be a breeze! I recommend doing both simultaneously so it’s easy to color-match the cards. These thank-you cards have an adorable block design and are available in five colors: light gray, purple, pink, yellow, and green.
VistaPrint Custom Thank You Cards
You can edit the text on the card via the brand’s writing screen, which includes various colors to change the text, fonts, and styles to enhance your words. You can even adjust the spacing or curve the text for more pizzazz.
