Usually, when we are working or otherwise occupied we tend to go shopping to pick up all we need to make baby shower invitations at home. You have the option to utilise the left overs in your house for making cards.

• Get hold of all those old cardboard boxes in your store room and cut shapes out of it. It could be rectangular, circle or square; whatever catches your fancy.

• Use discarded glossy paper from newspapers or gift wraps to cover the naked cardboard. You can use a felt pen to write on it. Otherwise, you also have the option of cutting out letters from old newspapers to form words on these cheap baby shower invitations.

• You can use lace or satin from clothes you have out grown to make designs on your homemade baby shower invitations. Usually, old silk dupattas can be very useful in this regard.

• You can also sew sequences from old clothes into the invitations to make them look bright. You will usually find these sequences in out of fashion churidars or lehga cholis that you have discarded long ago.

In Indian culture it is considered auspicious to put haldi-kuk-kum (turmeric and vermilion) on cards meant for sacred occasions like weddings or the birth of a child. It looks beautiful and you will also be keeping with tradition.

• If you want your cards to have a outer cover then use cellophane paper from old gifts. It forms a very beautiful translucent cover. Apart from that cellophane papers mostly come in bright shades of colours, so it will also lend a tinted look to your cards.
