The days of impromptu bridal showers are over. Increasingly style conscious brides welcome showers as a chance to entertain their friends in their own style, without compromising as they have had to do when planning their wedding, making the bridal shower a celebration in its own right. The bridal shower invitations are the very first step in making a bridal shower stylish.
Bridal shower invitations set the tone for the party. Silly or serious, girlish or sophisticated, the second guests open the envelope, the invitation will tell them that this bridal shower will be memorable. For a truly different kind of shower, guests can wear outfits and bring gifts chosen to suit the theme. If you are a gifted graphic designer, you can easily create invitations to your specifications, but if you are not, or if you want to save time and cross one task off your list, consider choosing professionally designed invitations from a bridal site. There are invitations for every possible theme and style.
If you are low on ideas, or you have five planning "helpers" and six ideas, consider using bridal shower invitations for inspiration or for homing in on an idea. Find a few bridal invitation sites and search their catalogs for inspiration, or pick out a few of the best designs and ask your friends to vote for the one they think the bride would like best. When you have chosen an invitation you like that you think the bride will love, select accessories to match the invitation. You will end up with a coordinated color scheme and an artfully integrated theme worthy of any professional party planner.
Although you can buy bridal shower invitations at stationery stores, give strong consideration to buying your invitations online. Online stores not only offer more invitations to choose from and make it possible for you to pick out, customize, and order invitations from your own laptop, they also save you money. Even after you factor in shipping, invitations from online bridal shops frequently cost less than those from stationery stores. Compare online and local stores before you choose. The results may surprise you!
Always remember the small touches. You can add drama and memorability to the bridal shower invitations by sending them in matching envelopes, with coordinating labels, postage stamps, and even envelope seals. Why send your carefully designed and chosen invitations in plain white envelopes when you could use eye catching parchment envelopes with wax seals, or silver paper with a raised pattern, or even envelopes embossed with the motif of your brides shower?
As you can see, bridal shower invitations are not merely a detail, they are an important scene setter in any bridal shower. If you choose invitations carefully, they can even be a great help in planning the party. So find a style that expresses the brides personality perfectly, and get ready to throw a fantastic shower.
