Lets be honest, bridal shower invites are not the most fun part of planning a bridal shower. Writing out the guest list without letting the bride know, wrangling over who should be invited, choosing a design, deciding on the invitations wording, getting the invitations from the printer in time, getting the envelopes stuffed, labeled, and stamped, mailing everything out in time... It is exhausting. Here are a few tips to make the process less annoying and let you move on to the fun parts of planning the bridal shower.
Getting the bridal shower invites online is far faster and simpler than buying them in a store. You have a far wider choice of invitation designs because you are not limited to what a store can keep in stock, you can search designs far more easily than if you had to flip through them by hand or skim shelves, and you can hit a dozen web stores in less time than it would take you to visit one brick and mortar store. Some online stores will let you search by color and style as well as by designer and collection. You can lay out the wording online and see what the completed invitation will look like. You can even choose matching envelopes and seals, or mix and match for a unique style. When you have the perfect invitation laid out, you can finish ordering them and get them dropped into your mailbox in the next few days.
To avoid the panic of getting your bridal shower invites late, order them as soon as possible. If you are concerned that plans will change between the ordering of the invitations and sending them out, start a web page for the party on a social networking site, and put the URL on the invitations. (In fact, thats a good idea no matter what state the plans are in.)
When you get the bridal shower invites in the mail, turn the invitation prep into a party with a few of your friends. Put on some loud music or a silly movie, order in food (but nothing drippy, greasy, or saucy, unless "grunge" is the wedding theme), and turn yourselves into an assembly line. Even if you have a guest list that seems to include half the town, getting the invitations ready will take no time at all.
No matter what, do not worry. People will have a good time. Look after the important things, and the details, like whether the bridal shower invite envelopes match the seals absolutely perfectly, will take care of themselves. You and your guests are there to congratulate the bride on her new future, so take care of the fiddly details fast, and enjoy yourself!
