How to go about your bridal shower invitation
Having the honor of inviting the brides closest friends and female relatives is part of the fun of throwing bridal shower. After you are done with all the details and have prepared everything line a good general, now comes the part where you invite people. Now, why leave the invitation for last, you might ask? Well, for practicalitys sake you would not want the hassle of calling everyone and then resend another invitation should you have to move the date to another day. Also, of course you want a successful party where everything is perfect, right? And this includes the invitation. Therefore for it to match your perfect party, it would be better to have the invitation last. 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 any case, any changes you decide later on can still be done if you still have not given out the invitation.
The first thing that you should do before you write on the invitation is to make a list of the people who will be invited. You do this by asking the bride for the list, so you can make sure you have not left someone out. 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. Then in case you are giving a surprise party, make sure that your guests will arrive earlier than the bride by giving them clear instructions and details. Lastly, make sure your invitation will be received by the guests ahead of time so that they will have the time to arrange their schedules, to buy gifts and to prepare.
