Use a baby snapsuit template to create a handmade baby shower invitation from one of the five designs included in this project by Cathie & Steve. You can also use the same template for guest cards and scrapbook pages after the baby shower.

These are totally adorable! I love it when a baby shower invitation features something besides just a rattle or a diaper, though those are cute. And even something non-baby-related works, too. I saw invitations that were shaped like umbrellas that actually opened and closed like little drink umbrellas. Insanely cute!
