Is there anything that pregnant women appreciate more than comments about their size? Apparently, this invitation, which a friend recently pointed out to me on the popular e-invitation platform, Paperless Post, is a clear example of that misguided notion.
SHE’S NOT OVERWEIGHT, SHE’S EXPECTING!
What a relief! For a moment, we all thought she was merely gaining weight – thankfully, that misconception is cleared up. Take a closer look at this gem:
I can’t say I was surprised to learn that this was crafted by a man. A quick glance at his bio reveals that he serves as the Editor-At-Large for a well-known women’s fashion magazine. Seriously, dude, haven’t you already found ample ways to make women feel inferior in that industry? Did you really have to extend your talents to fat-shaming on baby shower invites?
And let’s not ignore the envelope it comes with:
Why include cute baby booties or bottles on the inside of a baby shower invitation when you can adorn it with a stylish measuring tape design? I’m not a fashion expert, but as a woman with common sense, I can confidently say – this is just… no. NO. Is there any scenario in which this hostess wouldn’t get an earful from every other woman at the party? Honestly, who would find this invitation enjoyable? Is every person you know a model? Because this is downright insulting on so many levels. If anyone picked this invitation for me, I’d consider setting it ablaze (yes, they even offer a paper version).
I get it – I should probably just chill, right? It’s just a baby shower invitation. But no – I refuse to relax. Women’s bodies are scrutinized endlessly, and it’s exhausting. Seeing this kind of thing featured on a site that’s supposed to celebrate pregnant women is just plain draining.
So, world, please do better.

In summary, the world of baby shower invitations can sometimes miss the mark, and this particular design serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing scrutiny women face about their bodies. Let’s aim to uplift rather than tear down, shall we?
