The shower will be held on April 15th at 1:30pm. It will be held at my home, which is at 123 Main Street.

Cory	# Posted: 25 May 2009 15:12 How about wording it so that you're inviting the guests to help host the shower? Like: "please join us in throwing a baby shower for our beloved friend, X. A group of us is meeting at XYZ Cafe at 2pm" You can work on the wording, but I'm thinking that it should imply that you're all meeting somewhere to have lunch together, rather than implying that you are inviting the guest to lunch. Make sense? You could even add something about "rather than overwhelming X with a big shower, we thought we would just shower her with love, by all meeting for lunch at XYZ Cafe." I also think that a formal invitation in itself can imply that you're inviting the guest to lunch. So, you may opt to call everyone & explain what's going on ("unfortunately, none of us are in a position to host a luncheon, but we wanted to do something for her, of course"), adding that "I know it would mean so much to X if you could come."
