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. Here is an informal checklist to make the process easier for you.
First, what is the best place to buy the invitations? Brick and mortar stores have decent selections, but you have to drive from store to store, try to get the attention of the clerks, then flip through books to find what you want. 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. Tools like Google Shopping make comparing prices even easier. 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? You may be able to find bridal shower invites that match the wedding invitations, since many invitation styles come in sets to cover all the important events in an engagement and wedding. or you may be throwing a themed bridal shower, and want invitations that match the theme. If you are still looking for a theme, an invitation that the bride will love might be the perfect inspiration for you.
Third, what should the invitations say? Remember to include the partys web page as well as the more obvious information, like your contact information and the time and place of the party. 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, when should you place your order for 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 more time you put into the schedule to act as a cushion if invitations are lost, the more time you have to fix the problem.
Ordering bridal shower invites should take you no time or trouble at all if you follow these steps. (Remember to get some help from your friends when the time comes to stuff and address the envelopes.) Good luck, and may the bridal shower turn out perfectly! Similar Entries Bridal shower .
