Whether we have the closeness we need for postpartum support or not, we need intention. Things don’t happen magically. But one way to at least get acquainted with a new mother’s home is to throw her a prenatal nesting party! Now, does it really make sense to throw another baby shower for a mom going on her third, fourth or fifth child? This isn’t exactly her first rodeo. But don’t we still itch to celebrate her? She’s having a baby! Her family is about to change and grow and that deserves recognition. What is more, the larger the family, the larger the need. She’ll need friends who know their way around and are comfortable in her home. So, when your friend is pregnant, ditch the baby shower idea and instead throw her a nesting party.

A few weeks ago, I had a nesting party of my own. This is my 4th pregnancy but my first nesting party. I had never even attended a nesting party, but I sure hope this one wasn’t my last.

Canva Template for a Nesting Party Invitation. A nesting party is a great way to celebrate and support expecting mothers, especially for those who are not expecting their first and most likely have the necessary gear from a previous shower.

This digital download includes a fully customizable Canva template using only free Canva elements, so no further purchases will be necessary!

This 5x7 double sided invite is perfect for your or your friend’s nesting party! Everything is editable except the nest and eggs- you can change the size of those, but not the color. If you’d like a different color, please see my other listings! The back can be printed directly onto the back of your invite at a printing shop (I prefer UPS store) or it can be printed as an add in card to mail with the invite. Editing software is completely free to use and is super simple. You’ll be able to make unlimited changes to the template once downloaded, so you can change your mind on time or place. You will be emailed instructions on how to edit your template using Canva after purchase, so make sure you have access to the email address that Etsy has on file for you. Please reach out to me through messages if you need help with anything or have questions! Also, I love custom orders, so I’d be happy to make your dream come to life if you can’t find what you’re looking for. Be sure to check out my other listings for more designs. Happy party planning!
