Bridal Shower Invitations

As the maid of honor at a wedding it is your job to throw the bridal shower. This is a party where all the women in the life of a new bride get together and shower her with gifts. The first thing you will need to do is get a head count, guest list and addresses of the guests. Once you have that you can send out the bridal shower invitations. There is an array of wedding shower and bridal shower invitations to choose from and you just need to do a quick online search for styles.

Bridal shower invitation basics that you need to figure out first before you order your invitations are the wording, the style and formality of your bridal shower invitation, where and when the shower will take place and when should people RSVP. If you do a quick online search you should be able to find many samples of wedding shower and bridal shower invitations. The basic difference between a wedding shower and a bridal shower is if you will be inviting boys. If there will be men at the shower it is a wedding shower and may include the groom, but if not it is restricted to the bride and therefore you only need specific bridal shower invitations.

For unique bridal shower invitations you may want to make them yourself. Take a look around the house and see if anything from the kitchen or bedroom inspires your bridal shower invitation style. If it is a garden wedding then throw a tea party and send Alice in Wonderland style bridal shower invitations. You could also change the style of the font of the wedding shower invitation wording and use clip art to make Mad Hatter tea party looking bridal shower invitations. You could possibly plan a theme for your bridal shower invitations such as Rock Around the Clock invitations with sixties sock hop girls on them.

Once you find an example of a bridal shower invitation in which you want to draw inspiration from hop onto your computer and design away. You should have a basic page that is printable with pertinent wedding shower information and then may embellish any way you like. The wedding shower invitation you end up sending will set the tone for either a very girly, very family or very silly bridal shower. As long as you include the who, what, when and where on the bridal shower invitation there is no way you can go wrong. Let the wedding style be your starting place and spring from there into the world of fun bridal shower invitations.
