10 Virtual Baby Shower Invites Better Than the Real Thing
Let us face it: baby shower invitations can feel like one of the more expensive, time-consuming details that piles onto your pre-baby to-do list. While traditionally a paper invite with an envelope and stamp have been the way to go, now virtual baby shower invitations are bridging the gap between old-school invites and a more casual text or email chain.
Virtual baby shower invites have had a glow-up in recent years; simple graphics have been replaced by gorgeous designs, paper look-alike 'materials' with faux envelopes, animated metallics, customisable details, and more. If you are planning a baby shower, consider this easy, affordable way to invite guests without the stress… and with all the style.
