Bridal shower invites are, lets be honest here, an enormous pain in the butt. Writing out the guest list without letting the bride know, wrangling over who should be invited, choosing a design, deciding on the invitations wording, getting the invitations from the printer in time, getting the envelopes stuffed, labeled, and stamped, mailing everything out in time... It is exhausting. Here are a few tips to make the process less annoying and let you move on to the fun parts of planning the bridal shower.
Getting the bridal shower invites online is far faster and simpler than buying them in a store. You have a far wider choice of invitation designs because you are not limited to what a store can keep in stock, you can search designs far more easily than if you had to flip through them by hand or skim shelves, and you can hit a dozen web stores in less time than it would take you to visit one brick and mortar store. Many web stores divide up their designs for you by theme and color scheme as well as by collection or designer. You can use the web stores templates to lay out the card and see its finished look. You can even choose matching envelopes and seals, or mix and match for a unique style. When you are done, you can pay for them online and have them delivered to your door within days.
To avoid the panic of getting your bridal shower invites late, order them as soon as possible. If plans keep shifting and you are worried that the invitations will be inaccurate by the time they reach the guests, pick out a social networking site that the bride does not go to, throw together a party page, and put the web address on the invitations. (In fact, thats a good idea no matter what state the plans are in.)
When the bridal shower invites arrive, call over a few friends and make the stuffing and labeling into a party. Put on some loud music or a silly movie, order in food (but nothing drippy, greasy, or saucy, unless "grunge" is the wedding theme), and turn yourselves into an assembly line. Even if the bride has more friends than Auntie Mame and it feels like youre inviting half of Manhattan, you will have the invitations done in record time.
No matter what, do not worry. The bridal shower will be fantastic. Take care of the fundamentals, and the little details, like whether the bridal shower invite card matches the envelope just right, will not matter. You and your guests are there to congratulate the bride on her new future, so take care of the fiddly details fast, and enjoy yourself! See also Wedding wishes ... Weddings ... Wedding hair ...
