Around The Clock Bridal Shower Invitations

View:

Having the honor of inviting the brides closest friends and female relatives is part of the fun of throwing bridal shower. After you have prepared everything and has gone over all the details like a good general, you must now face the task of inviting the people to the party. Now, why leave the invitation for last, you might ask? Well, first in terms of practicality, in case you suddenly have to move the date to another day, you would not want to go to the hassle of calling everyone and then resend another invitation. Also, of course you want a successful party where everything is perfect, right? And this includes the invitation. So it would be better to have the invitation last so that you can be sure that they will match your party. What if you suddenly decide to throw away a theme party instead? Of course you want your invitation to have the same theme and to inform your guests properly. In other words, if you still have not sent out the invitation, you can still make as many changes as your want with the party.

Now before you write on the invitations, the first thing you should do is to make a list of all the people you are going to invite. To make sure you have not left someone uninvited, you start by asking the bride for list of. Then with the list on your hand, go over it with the bride so you can make sure that these people would also be invited in the wedding. It would be embarrassing for the bride if you invite someone for the bridal party when that someone is not invited in the wedding.

Next after the list is the right wording for your invitation. Make sure you have the brides full name, date of your party, the time of the party, where the party will be and the RSVP details on your invitation. Then you also might want to include the theme of the party and the gifts, if it is a theme party. And do not forget your name as the host of the bridal shower. If you are giving a surprise party, make sure you give explicit instructions and details to the guests so that they will be able to arrive earlier than the bride. Last but certainly the most important, your guests should have time to buy gifts, to prepare and to arrange their schedules so your invitation must be received by all the guests ahead of time.

Some bridal shower invitations are definitely better than others. Depending on which approach you choose, you can wind up with invitations that vary greatly in terms of quality. Mass produced invitations are usually created with standard card stock while handmade invitations allow you choose your paper and allow you to use high quality blends that are much nicer to the touch. There is also the possibility that the invitations you send will not be unique when using mass produced bridal shower invitations. Bridal shower invitations are one of the mementos that many of your guests will keep so it pays to make sure you are sending the very best.

Essential Information for Bridal Shower Invitations

Bridal shower invitations should not only invite your guests to the event, they should contain clear instructions on the location of the shower, any theme that is being used for the bridal shower and an RSVP card that can help you determine the amount of guests you can expect at the bridal shower. Including a self addressed stamped envelope inside the bridal shower invitation so that your guests can return the RSVP easily is also recommended.

Bridal Shower Invitation Styles

When creating your bridal shower invitations there are many different approaches and quality levels. A great designer will work with you to achieve the overall look and feel of your bridal shower invitations and may suggest things such as: multi-layered design, color schemes, envelope and seal options as well as wording and layout. Depending on your budget you can go very basic with a one card invitation all the way up to elaborate bridal shower invitations that have many layers and materials.

Matching Elements Is Important

Bridal shower invitations should, if possible, be approached as a set which includes the bridal shower invitation, RSVP card and return envelope and a letter seal for the main invitation envelope. You can go a long way in showing your attention to detail and style by making sure these items match both in design and color but also in paper stock. Again, a knowledgeable designer will always have these things in mind when you engage them to create your bridal shower invitations.

When to Send Bridal Shower Invitations

You want to make sure that your bridal shower invitations are put in the mail with plenty of time for your guests to respond and for you to get a clear count on your guest list. Two to three months is a good time frame to allow everyone to respond and for you to arrange a hotel for out of town guests. With group booking you can usually get a discount on the room rate for your out of town guests. This information can also be included in your bridal shower invitations.

Following the simple steps above can help keep you on track for the bridal shower that you're planning and help you approach your bridal shower invitations with quality in mind. Paying attention to the little details when it comes to your bridal shower invitations can make a memorable impression with your guests and provide them with an high quality memento of your bridal shower.
