Wording for Casual Shower Invitations

The wording depends on the formality of your event. Here is an example of how you might word a casual invitation for these parties. Remember to include all of the important information:

Tara's about to be done being single
Now it's time for all of us to mingle
at Tara Stevenson's shower

hosted by bridesmaids
Gillian Smith & Beth Doe

4 o'clock, November 2nd
Dixon Valley Country Club
555 Dixon Down Road
Dixon, Texas

Invitation Wording for a Formal Even

Issues You Need to Consider

Registry information is something else you may be wondering about. Of course, wedding invitations should never include this information but etiquette rules do allow you to include the gift registry information in the lingerie bridal shower invites. However, you don't want to resort to adding those bridal shower cards handed out by the shops. Those are always a bit tacky. Instead, add the information to the rest of the wording. You might want to write "Kelly is registered at Neimen Marcus" or "Bridal registry information available at Pottery Barn." Of course, if you don't feel comfortable including this information, just be sure to let people know when they respond.

Here's another helpful hint you want to consider: don't include contact information from more than one person. Bridal Shower Invitation Wording should include the information for the RSVP or response contact. If more than one contact number is added, your guests could end up being very confused. You could also end up having a mix-up because guests may have called one person and not the other one. You could also end up with duplicate responses. Hand over the responsibility to just one of the hosts of the party but be sure the number included also includes an answering machine or voice mail. This will be a nice touch for the convenience of your guests.

Basically, bridal shower invitation wording should let guests know everything necessary about the event. However, you also want the cards to match the tone of your event. Also, be sure to plan for the RSVP or response card.
