Picking out and ordering bridal shower invites may not be the most entertaining part of planning your friends bridal shower, but it is a necessary part. If you are not naturally fond of details, dealing with the details of invitations can be tiresome. This checklist should make the process go more smoothly for you.
First, where should you get the invitations? Going to stores in malls or in the town center means driving between stores, trying to attract the attention of busy clerks, and flipping through piles of books to find the one design you love. Online stores are at your fingertips at the touch of a button, and their catalogs are searchable by style and color as well as by collection. You can even comparison shop easily with the help of tools such as Google Shopping. Online stores convenience and the lower cost of their invitations more than make up for any shipping fees.
Second, which style of invitation would best suit the bridal shower you are planning? Many invitation styles include sets of bridal shower invitations as well as wedding invitations, so if you know which set the bride chose for her wedding invitations, you can choose bridal shower invitations to match. Or you may have a theme for the bridal shower, and a matching invitation would be an excellent grace note. If you are still looking for a theme, an invitation that the bride will love might be the perfect inspiration for you.
Third, how should the invitations be worded? Remember to include all the necessary contact information, including your phone number and email, as well as the URL of the partys web page. Although it is tempting to make a joke or slip in a cute turn of phrase, try to resist the urge. It is too easy for "cute" to turn into "twee."
Fourth, how soon should you order the bridal shower invites? There is one answer and one answer only: as soon as humanly possible. Invitations get lost on their way from the printer to you and on their way from you to the guests. The sooner you order them, the more time you have to act as a cushion if something goes wrong, and the more time you have to send out replacement invitations if any get lost in the mail.
If you follow all of these steps (and get a little help from your friends in addressing and mailing the invitations) then ordering bridal shower invites should be a quick and painless process. Happy planning, and may you throw the bridal shower of your friends dreams! See these also Weddings - Vegas wedding -
