You must not forget to have a perfect bridal shower invitation, if you want to have a perfect bridal shower. People were invited to parties and other event with town criers during the Middle Ages. Since most of the people then are illiterate, this was so much practical. After several centuries, the invitations of the nobility were then written by the monks and were served personally to the guests. Since the monks service is quite pricey, this was a way to show how affluent the family was. The practice of bridal showers then started during the Victorian Era. When lithography was invented, also during this time, invitations for all occasions even for bridal showers were then printed in similar way we have today. In the next century following the Victorian Era, bridal shower invitations were then engraved. This became the favorite of the nobility since it had the same handwritten look the monks used. Later on thermography was developed and it allowed cheaper printing. This type of invitation, for bridal shower and other occasions, was then used by everybody, not just the elite and the members of the nobility. It was then the beginning of mass produced invitations. By this time it was already the modern era and the people begun imitating the nobles and the rich and famous bridal showers including their bridal shower invitations. For their part, the elite took it upon themselves to share their expertise with the masses. Emily Post and Amy Vanderbilt even wrote books on etiquette which included the proper way of addressing invitations.
Today, people know that bridal shower invitations, similar with the wedding invitations, must complement the style of the bridal shower. If the bridal shower is traditional, then they must have the traditional bridal shower invitation. Of course there are also other showers, like theme bridal shower and the host might want to give such. So, for these bridal shower invitations, they also must have the theme. For these invitations we do not have one general rule to follow. It is now even common to see bridal shower invitations written by the host. Cakes, chocolate and even candies invitations are now also being used. What is important today is that the bridal shower invitation, to be perfect, must be appropriate with the theme of the shower. In other words, the bridal shower invitations must reflect the style and theme of the bridal shower.
