Creating Memorable Bridal Shower Invitations
 
   

For most people who are tasked with putting together bridal shower invitations, the primary concern is the wording. You will have to consider factors such as how to inform the guests about the theme if you have one, what poems to use, and what tone to take with the invitation. All of these have a lot to do with how well the bridal shower invitations will be received and whether or not they will be memorable for the receiver.

Some of the details that should be included in bridal shower invitations are the full name of the bride, and in some cases of the groom, the date and time of the event, the location, the RSVP name and number, and the date to RSVP by. You may also want to include in the bridal shower invitations information about where the bride is registered, the date of the wedding itself, and the name of the host. If the event has a specific theme, such as a garden shower or a lingerie shower, this information must obviously also be included in the bridal shower invitations. And if the shower is to be a surprise for the bride, the guests should be informed of the time when the bride is expected to arrive.

As for the wording of the bridal shower invitations, you will first have to consider whether you want the message to be traditional, casual, or general. What specific type you go with will of course depend on a number of factors, among them the type of the bridal shower that will be held, as well as the bride's preferences. The general type of bridal shower invitations is by far the simplest, and can be nothing more than a message of invitation, as well as the name of the bride and the time and place of the event. A traditional message will tend to be more formal, with an appropriately worded invitation, along with the name of the bride, the date and time of the party, as well as its location. Traditional bridal shower invitations also typically mention the required attire, and include a mention of the name of the person who is hosting the party.

Casual bridal shower invitations tend to be more informal and even "cutesy" in its approach, and may take on the form of a simple rhyme. Of course details such as the name of the bride, as well as the date, time and location of the party should be included as well. Themed parties are another matter entirely. Bridal shower invitations for these types of events should reflect the specific theme, and the invitation should be worded to include the nature of the event, as well as mention its theme. This is particularly important if you want people to wear costumes to the party.
