If you google 'baby shower invitation wording' you'll get a list of websites that will help. I've used www.invitingsmiles.com to help me out in the past. I also printed the below poem on cardstock and placed them at each table setting; its a cute way to say thank you for coming.

I'm really glad that you could come

And help surprise my mother

sit down, relax, enjoy yourselves

and chat with one another

Sorry I can't be with you

to join in Mommy's shower

But I'm very busy you see

I'm growing more each hour

Though I'm not there to thank you

for the lovely gifts you've brought

my family is grateful

we appreciate the thought

I'll be arriving shortly

and I'm as happy as can be

so, after I've been home awhile

please come and visit me.

I would leave the wording up to the host. The grandmother should not be hosting the shower.

Why can't a grandmother host a baby shower? My mom and mil each had a shower for me. I have been to a lot of baby showers where the grandmother was the host.

It is considered rude and in the south people would talk about you for being a crass gift grabber.

How about a quote?

A baby is God's opinion that the world should go on.
Carl Sandburg

When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies. And now when every new baby is born its first laugh becomes a fairy.
James Matthew Barrie

A new baby is like the beginning of all things-wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities.
Eda J. Le Shan

Ten fingers, Ten toes
She's laughter and teardrops
So small and brand new
And amazingly angelic
She's sent to bless you
She's one special Baby
The best of life's treasure
And will grant and bless you
Many hours of great pleasure.

If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite, something that makes one feel aware of God, one need not go far to find it. I think that I see something deeper, more infinite, more eternal than the ocean in the expression of the eyes of a little baby when it wakes in the morning and coos or laughs because it sees the sun shining on its cradle.
Vincent van Gogh

Take a sprinkling of fairy dust,
An angel's single feather,
Also a dash of love and care,
Then mix them both together.
Add a sentiment or two,
A thoughtful wish or line,
A touch of stardust, a sunshine ray...
It's a recipe, for a Baby Girl truly fine.
Author Unknown

A little girl can be sweeter (and badder) oftener than anyone else in the world. She can jitter around, and stomp, and make funny noises that frazzle your nerves, yet just when you open your mouth she stands there demure with that special look in her eyes. A girl is Innocence playing in the mud, Beauty standing on its head, and Motherhood dragging a doll by the foot.
Alan Marshall Beck

Oh dear. Here we go again.

OP, it's fine. Regionally and culturally, it is more than accepted and more than fine in most places. It is also OK to have a shower for every baby, or not, depending on where you live, how old you are, and how you put your panties on this morning. I think its very nice of grandma to want to host.

Have a wonderful time at the shower, and congrats on the new baby in your family and don't let anyone rain on your festivities.

Let's not cause a debate....

OP, one of your best options is checking out etsy.com and searching for baby shower invitations. most items for sell are photographed with special wording, a lot of very unique verses. lots of inspiration there.

I just want to Thank everyone for their help.The shower is given by not only myself but also several family and friends.My daughter is lucky to have family and many friends who are willing to help without us even asking for anything.Everyone is also very happy about the baby and are so happy for my daughter and son in law.Since it took a long time and lots of prayers this baby will most of all be loved.Thank You Again.
