Bridal shower invitations set the tone for your friends bridal shower. You want them to be perfect for your friend, and with a party to plan, you want to finish them quickly and easily. Before you spend money or valuable time on picking out invitations, take a moment to review the best and most efficient way to choose and send invitations to your friends bridal shower.
First, select the best design for the bridal shower invitations. Going online is the best way to do this; online stores let you search their catalogs by style, theme, or color, and you do not need to waste time driving from store to store and getting clerks to help you with the sample books. You may even be able to find your friends wedding invitations online and match the bridal shower invitations to the wedding invitations, saving you the trouble of choosing a new design.
Once you know what the cards will look like, you can lay out the text. The template will probably already include the usual information, like the brides name, the party location, time, and date, and the RSVP number and email address, but remember to use the extra lines to add details like whether the shower is a surprise, what the bridal showers theme is, where the bride is registered, whether the party is formal or casual, the bridal shower hosts name, and the URL of the bridal shower web page. Avoid cutesy turns of phrase. Its too easy to write a groaner.
Choose coordinating envelopes, envelope seals, and other details. If you want to skip the step of printing and applying return labels, have the return address printed on the envelopes. When you are done, choose how quickly you would like the package to arrive. Because losing invitations in the mail is always a worry, whether or not you go with an online store, ordering invitations sooner rather than later is always preferable. If you are concerned that the party details will change between when you order the invitations and when the guests receive them, put together a party page online and add the URL to the invitations.
When you finish, hit the "order complete" button and get ready to see your cards in the mail shortly. Because online stationers print bridal shower invitations rapidly, you may receive the package within the week. Put the invitations together, print and apply the address labels, and drop the finished invitations in the mailbox. Thats all there is to it! Now you can cross that off your list and move on to planning a fantastic and memorable bridal shower.
