A red bow christmas baby shower theme is the grown-up way to do December. No santa hats, no cartoon reindeer, just a deep velvet bow, winter greenery and script lettering on cream.
Nine invitations here, all from one collection, so the details card and thank you notes match. They differ mainly in what the card says on the front: Oh Baby, Baby Shower, or A Merry Little Baby Shower. Start there and the rest is colour.
Oh Baby Red Bow Christmas Invitations
The shortest wording, which leaves the most room for the bow. These read as modern rather than traditional, and they work whether or not the party is strictly Christmas.
Oh Baby Winter Script Red Velvet Bow
The most dramatic of the three, with the ribbon running most of the card. Choose it when the shower is the main family event of the season and you want the invitation to say so before anyone reads a word.

Oh Baby Christmas Calligraphy Red Bow
The most formal lettering in the collection. It suits a shower at a restaurant or hotel, and it holds its own next to a wedding-style guest list.

Oh Baby Christmas Modern Burgundy Bow
The simplest of the three, which makes it the easiest to read at a glance. A good pick if you are sending mostly by text or email and need it legible on a phone screen.

These say Baby Shower on the front, so they suit a guest list that spans generations. Roses, pine and berries alongside the bow, in the deepest reds here.
Christmas Elegant Burgundy Bow Winter
Balanced and uncluttered, which makes it the easiest one to recommend if you are choosing on someone else’s behalf. Nobody dislikes this one.

Christmas Burgundy Bow Rose Holiday
The florals soften the red, so it feels less strictly seasonal. Worth choosing if the shower is in early December and you do not want it to read as a Christmas party invitation.

Christmas Victorian Vintage Bow Floral
The richest and most old-fashioned of the set. It suits a shower held at a grandparent’s house, or a family that takes its Christmas traditions seriously.

Christmas Vintage Red Bow Winter Flora
More pine and berries than roses, so it leans wintery rather than floral. This is the one that still looks right if the shower slips into early January.
Shop this invitation →Merry Little Red Bow Christmas Baby Shower
These carry the merry little wording with the same velvet bow, so they bridge the doodle version of the theme and the dressier one.
Merry Little Vintage Red Bow Christmas
The dressier take on a theme most people do in doodles. Choose it if you like the merry little wording but the shower itself is more lunch than party games.

Merry Little Red Bow Floral Christmas
Softer and lighter than the rest of this page, with the stripe keeping it cheerful. A good compromise when you want something pretty rather than grand.
Shop this invitation →If you are planning the table around these, buy real velvet ribbon in the same width and tie it on everything: napkins, the chair the mother-to-be sits in, the gift table, the cake stand. It costs very little and does more for the room than any amount of printed decor.
