A good way to invite people to a baby shower is to show have a cute card on it. Another good idea is to ask them nicely and give them plenty of time to R.S.V.P. before the actual day.

Declining a baby shower invitation should be done properly and delicately. For tips, see the related link below under "How do you decline a baby shower invitation".
Both parent's names should be included on a baby shower invitation if the party is a couple's baby shower (sometimes called a coed baby shower). Otherwise, only include the mom's name. For examples of couple's baby shower invites, see related link below.
Tinyprints.com offers you templates on what a baby shower invitation should include, such as date, time, where you are registered, what the gender of the baby is (if you want it revealed), and so on.
You RSVP by either calling or emailing the person hosting the shower. Usually the invitation will tell how to RSVP.
If the shower is a couple's baby shower, then the father's name should be included on the invitation. While not the norm, couple's or coed baby showers are gaining in popularity as today's dads are becoming more involved in raising their children than in past generations. For a couple's baby shower, male and female friends of the couple would be invited to attend. If the baby shower is only for the mother-to-be, then the father's name should not appear on the baby shower invitation. In this case, usually only female friends and relatives of the mommy-to-be would be invited.
Put on the bottom of the invitation to "eat your own expense". If you expect people to attend a Baby Shower and bring gifts, ask for the use of a Church hall or something and at least provide cake and beverages. Otherwise, just send out Birth Announcements after the Baby comes, and hope people send gifts out of affection and/or kindness.
Typically, the name(s) of the hostess(es) is included on a line that reads "Given with love by [names]". If there are too many names to fit on the baby shower invitation, then you can generalize it to "Given with love by friends" or "Given with love by family".

No, you do not send an invitation to the mother to be for her shower. Generally baby showers are suppose to be a surprise. You should keep an invitation and be sure there are at least two cameras or video at her baby shower so you can give her the invitation for her baby book; pictures and also a copy of the video.
Sure you can.
