          Buying tips: what should I look for?

          • Put the host's name on baby shower invitations, and add registry info on a separate card or QR code.
          • For kids' parties, include the start and end time and whether parents should stay.
          • Graduation announcements share the news; party invitations ask people to come. You can combine them if you want one card.
          • Matching thank-you cards make follow-up easy.

          When to order: how early should I order?

          Baby shower and birthday invitations typically go out three to four weeks ahead. Graduation announcements usually go out two to four weeks before the ceremony.

          Common questions about Baby Showers, Birthdays & Graduations

          When should baby shower invitations go out?

          About four to six weeks before the shower is common, so guests can plan and shop the registry.

          What's the difference between a graduation announcement and an invitation?

          An announcement shares the news of graduating; an invitation asks guests to a party or ceremony. Many people send one card that does both.

          What are good 40th birthday invitation ideas?

          Themes like 'fabulous at 40', elegant black and gold, or a fun photo throwback are popular. Include RSVP details.

          Do I need thank-you cards after a baby shower?

          It's a kind gesture and still common. A matching thank-you card makes it quick.
