First of all, I'm sorry to hear of the complications. The same thing happened with my son.
We knew earlier on that there may be major complications with his birth, so we already had it planned as a coming home party. I think family and friends will be supportive of parents to focus on taking care of the baby first, party later. Let them know it's been rescheduled for a later date. I don't think details are necessary. It's about the confort level of the parents how much information people get about the date change. If you want to, send out cards that say baby shower being rescheduled as coming home party. date to be announced.( if you haven't alredy chosen one.) That way, people will look for the invite in the mail announcing the party.

All the guests will have to be called. Chances are they know the baby has been born early and is in the hospital, so most will assume the shower is canceled for now, but a personal call to each guest is appropriate. Simply tell them a shower will be planned later with the date to be announced. If the shower was to be held at a facility such as a banquet hall or restaurant, you will have to call and cancel the reservation. Under the circumstances, they may waive any cancellation fee, but they may not depending on how soon the shower was to be held. In difficult situations such as this, it would be best to wait it out and begin the re-planning the shower after the baby is at home and doing well.

make a list of all the people who you've invited with their contact numbers. Give the list to someone involved in the preparation of the baby shower and ask them to phone and cancel if anything goes wong. Then once you're ready for it get that person to phone and change the theme of the baby shower to "welcome home". Simple as that! Im sure people will enjoy it even more because they can see the little baby.

you call and email everyone on the list... if anyone does not respond that they have received the cancellation, send them a snail mail note asking them to respond.
Just explain that baby came early, and once he/she is ready to make his/her social premier new details will be sent.

Send an email or your parents or his parents call everyone and explain the issue. No one will get upset they understand. Good luck and best wishes

Send emails to the ones that have email and phone the rest of the guest. I am sure that they will all understand.
