Are these gender neutral?

Helping to plan my cousin's shower and she isn't finding out the sex of the baby so it makes it a little harder. I found these invitations - do you think they are gender neutral or do they say girl to you? Thanks for your input!

I think they're neutral....I've been to an owl themed shower and the couple weren't finding out the sex of the baby.

I think they're neutral. Also, I love the owls. We are having a girl, but we went with and owl "theme" (really just wall decals and bedding) for our nursery.

Why does not finding out the gender make it difficult to pick out invitations?  I don't get this line of thought.  People say it about buying something for a shower, too.  Babies need things and they don't care what color it is.  Sorry - just a pet peeve of mine.

I think those invitations are really cute!

I think those are gender neutral.  I've seen quite a bit of stuff that is pretty neutral though, I wouldn't say it's that hard.

I think they are "supposed" to be gender neutral but anything with pink on it kind of says "girly" to me.  Unfortunately, the tiny bit of blue (birds) isn't enough to cancel out the girlishness IMO.

I would assume she was having a girl if I received that invitation in the mail.

ETA: I looked at the other items that go with the invitation (napkins and plate) and they are pink.

They could be neutral, but lean toward girly. Plus, I think you could find something much cuter.

I agree with pp's - gender neutral does not equate to difficult...I will join pp's who say it drives them nuts when people make a big deal that you aren't finding out the sex of the baby. When I was pregnant,  I didn't find out what my little guy was and made out just fine. I hate the most when people say "oh I could never do that, I am such a planner". I am so OCD it is ridiculous and it was fine. There are plenty of items out there that are neutral. And, oh by the way, this was my first baby and I plan to have more so even if I did know what he was, I still would have gotten neutral stuff. OK - sorry rant over.

They are a little on the girly side but not that bad. I think that they could work.  I think it is hard to find something completly gender neutral.  These things always tend to lean towards one sex more then neutral to me.

I think they are sort of girly, but not too bad.  If the shower was for a boy, I would find them odd, but since she's team green I think they're okay.

Hmmmm. I think I will keep looking because I am getting a lot of "girly" votes. Thanks everyone!
