A bridal shower is a special event to honor the bride-to-be, and custom invitations set the stage for this joyful celebration. Whether your theme is elegant, rustic, modern, or whimsical, personalized bridal shower invitations bring your vision to life while giving your guests a glimpse of what to expect. With professional designs and high-quality printing, your invitations will reflect the love and excitement surrounding this beautiful occasion.
At Copy Doctor, we specialize in creating custom bridal shower invitations that capture the essence of your celebration. Here’s what we offer:
A bridal shower invitation is a formal or casual invite sent to guests, inviting them to a celebration in honor of the bride-to-be. It contains the event’s details such as the date, time, location, and RSVP instructions, and typically reflects the theme of the bridal shower.
Bridal shower invitations should be sent to the bride’s close friends, family members, and sometimes co-workers, depending on the guest list. It’s customary to invite female guests from the wedding guest list, but some modern bridal showers may include male friends and family as well.
Bridal shower invitations should be sent 4-6 weeks before the event. This allows guests enough time to RSVP, buy gifts, and make arrangements if travel is necessary. For destination or larger bridal showers, it’s best to send invitations at least 6 weeks in advance.
The wording for a bridal shower invitation should include:
Yes, it’s common to include a gift registry link or mention of where the bride is registered on the bridal shower invitation. This can be done subtly, such as, “[Bride’s name] is registered at [store]” or with a small note at the bottom of the invite, giving guests the option to bring gifts the bride will love.
It’s not necessary to match the bridal shower invitation to the wedding theme, but it can be a nice touch if the bridal shower has its own theme. For example, if the shower is a garden party, the invitation could have floral elements. The focus should be on creating an invitation that reflects the shower’s atmosphere, whether casual or formal, fun or elegant.
Popular themes for bridal shower invitations can vary based on the shower’s style. Some ideas include:
Yes, if you plan to have games, activities, or a specific type of event (such as a recipe card exchange or gift-giving theme), it’s a good idea to mention it in the invitation. You might say something like, “Please bring your favorite recipe to share with the bride” or “Join us for an afternoon of games and fun” to let guests know what to expect.
If the bridal shower is a surprise, make sure to clearly state this on the invitation with a phrase like, “Shh! It’s a surprise!” or “Please arrive by [time] to help surprise [Bride’s name]”. You can also add instructions for the guests to arrive earlier to be ready for the surprise moment. Additionally, remind guests not to mention the event to the bride beforehand.
