The Wedding Bridal Shower Invitation

First, if you've decided on a theme for the event, make sure you've selected shower invitations that will match the theme or, at least, complement the theme. For example, if you're going to have a lingerie bridal shower theme then choose invitations that was specifically designed for that theme. You'll find quite a few choices available, especially if you are shopping online with us at Express-Invitations.

However, choosing the right invite is only the beginning. You also need to have that invitation in the mail at an appropriate time so guests can make the necessary arrangements to attend. Two to four weeks notice is always good for any type of event or party. Remember many of the guests have their own lives and responsibilities which might need to be juggled in order to attend bridal wedding showers.

Finally, be sure you give the appropriate RSVP information. Either you or one of the bridesmaids can keep track of which guests will be attending the formal wedding shower. Make sure you only choose one or the other so guests won't have to feel confused about who to contact or where to mail their RSVP response. Incidentally, allowing guests to RSVP to a shower via phone or email is perfectly acceptable and can cut down on your postage costs.

Wedding Showers & Favors

Even though guests are the ones who normally bring gifts to bridal showers, you should always consider having something they can take home with them as well. Having party favors available for those who you sent bridal invitations to will ensure they think highly of you as a host and will have loads of praise to offer. That will not only make you happy but will also please the bride since most of the people attending will be her friends and family.

One cute idea for a shower favor are rose petals. If the wedding is going to be based around a certain color scheme, choose these colors and purchase the petals yourself online. You can then place them in decorative containers and pass them out to guests. Some online shops even sell petals in containers, such as small purses, which is even more convenient.

If you're on a tight budget, you could make some candy, buy small picture frames, create miniature potted plants or give out candles as Bridal Wedding Shower favors. The choice is yours. Do remember though that you want to keep the favors consistent with the rest of the bridal wedding shower theme. That means if you're having bridal wedding shower with a kitchen theme you might want to pass out tiny packets of fresh herbs or small muffin tins with a great morning muffin recipe.
