It used to be that when you received an invitation to a bridal shower, it was either a very stodgy thing printed professionally on Crane paper or one of those fill in the blank kind of things. Bridal shower invitations are now becoming a source of pride for many future brides. Invitations that clearly broke the bank are not always the goal. Memorable is the sought after descriptor these days. If you long to create your own bridal shower invitations, but do not know where to begin, read on.
You should jot down all your ideas before you even buy one envelope. Roughly draw what you picture each of your ideas will look like. Picture your guests receiving your bridal shower invitations and how the invitations will be situated in their envelopes. Once you have decided upon your favorite idea or ideas, write down all the supplies you will need. Then think through how much it will cost to send the invitations. Often, it is easy to weed out certain ideas because the materials will just cost too much. Once you settle on the idea you like the most, write out the message you would like on the invitation. Do this before you buy the materials, so you know what size paper you will need and how much room for embellishment you will have.
You can order or purchase all the materials after you have a firm design concept. Do not try to save costs by getting envelopes that do not match the invitations. That does not mean that the colors have to match; it simply means to match the style and quality of the bridal shower invitations. If you are going to handwrite the invitation message, a set of specialty calligraphy pens will be invaluable. If calligraphy or penmanship is not your bailiwick, consider purchasing a stencil set. There are people who will provide their fancy handwriting for your bridal shower invitations for a small fee. Finally, you should always remember that invitations with bells and whistles always tickle the fancy of even the toughest shower guest. If you are doing something completely out of the box, you probably already have the frills covered. People love ribbons, bows and glittery things that fly out when they open their bridal shower invitations. Make them have some flair.
In closing, you must always remember that making these bridal shower invitations is supposed to be fun. If it becomes a burden or is just too much to handle with all the other things that go along with having a regular day job and planning a wedding, please stop the presses. There is nothing wrong with having your invitations professionally done. There are incredible companies and small boutiques online and on main street that exist because they provide cool and distinctive bridal shower invitations that will wow your guests. This is supposed to be fun. Do what is best for you.
