Can I add the registry to a baby shower video invitation?

Yes. There is a registry step; paste the link and guests see a button for it inside the invitation.

Can I use a video of the bump instead of a design?

Yes. Choose "Your video" and pick a clip of up to 20 seconds. Blast adds the intro with the names, the details and the RSVP around it. It is free.

How do guests RSVP to a baby shower invitation?

From the link: Going, Maybe or Can't, then a name and an email. No app, no account. Replies appear on your host page and arrive by email.

Is a video invitation too casual for a shower?

The designs range from soft and classic to playful, and the wording is yours. The format is a link, which is how most shower invitations travel now anyway.

Yes. Creating the invitation, sending the link and collecting RSVPs are free.

Baby Shower Video Invitations: How They Work and What to Say

A baby shower video invitation is a short animated video, with music, that you send as one link by text, WhatsApp or email. It carries the names, the date and place, a note, a registry link if you want one, and the RSVP, so guests reply from the invitation with a name and an email. On Blast it is free, from one of the baby shower designs or from a clip of your own, such as the bump and a hand-written sign. This page covers how to make one, what to write, and the questions hosts ask.

Making it, in five minutes

Open getblast.video/new and choose a baby shower design: soft and cute, floral, treats and sips, or clouds and stars. Or choose "Your video" and pick a clip of up to 20 seconds from your phone.
Type whose shower it is and pick "Baby shower" as the occasion. The name goes in the opening scene.
Keep the design's song or pick one of the three others offered.
Add the date, start time, place and address, a note, and the registry link.
Set how many guests each invite covers and whether guests list names or a number.
Send it to yourself, verify your mobile with a one-time code, and share the link.

What to write in the note

The design and the music set the tone, so the note can be short and practical. Three lines are enough.

Who is hosting: "Hosted by Dana's sisters."
What kind: "Brunch, 11 to 1" or "Co-ed, backyard, bring a sweater."
Gifts: "Registry in the link" or "Books instead of cards, please."
Anything guests must know: parking, a surprise, a theme to dress for.

Why video for a shower

A shower invitation does two jobs: it tells people the details and it sets the mood for a day that is really about the parents. A card does the first. A short video with music does both, and guests watch it to the end because it is twenty seconds long. The RSVP button at the end turns that attention into a reply while they are still looking.

When to send

Four to six weeks before the shower, with a reply-by date two weeks before. Send the link once more a week before to the guests who have not replied. Guests who travel need the date earlier; tell them in a message before the invitation goes out.
