The Importance Of Bridal Shower Invitations

By Jessica Nichols

The bridal shower that you are planning for your friend, cousin or sister has placed a great deal of responsibility in your hands. Your head will be spinning from all of the aspects that you have to plan and prepare for. Food and decorations are very important and one other extremely important aspect is the bridal shower invitations. The shower is how you show the bride how much you care and send her off to her new life, so you really need to get this right.

To show that you have real style and class you need to send formal invitations for the shower. A phone call or email is not good enough. You do not want to embarrass the bride or cause her any more stress, so send beautiful formal bridal shower invitations. The bride will thank you and the guests will know that you really care about their presence at the shower.

You should match the theme of the shower and the invitations. A traditional shower should have invitations that feature soft colors and pretty flowers. More modern themed bridal showers will use bolder colors and the invitations can use stark lines. You can also match the bridal shower invitations to the colors of the wedding. You want the bride to be happy with the invitations so make sure you get her input before making the final selections.

Do not make the bridal shower invitations a last minute after thought. They should be carefully planned and selected. You will need to allow time for printing and shipping. After the invitations arrive you will also need time to address them and give the guests' time to respond.

Being in charge of a bridal shower is a big responsibility. This shower is how the bride's female friends and relatives send her off to her new life. It is a time of celebration and gifts. You want the bride to smile on the day of her bridal shower. It should set the tone for the rest of the wedding events. Choosing the right bridal shower invitations is imperative. Take enough time to plan and choose the invitations that the bride will truly love.
