There’s an event that serves as a prelude to the big wedding day. And it’s called the bridal shower. Bridal showers are those small parties sponsored by the maid of honor. Traditionally, this is when all the gifts for the bride should come in. However, there are many instances that those who can’t attend the shower just bring their gifts for the couple on the wedding day.
If you are hailed as the maid of honor and you’re thinking of throwing a big party for the bride, the first line of preparation is the wedding shower invitation cards. When making them, here are five useful tips to follow:
1. Set a theme for the party and make it known through the invitation card
There are different popular themes for a bridal shower. Some plan a pajama party, an afternoon tea party, a recipe shower, or even a lingerie party. Whichever the choice is, the guests should know what they’re supposed to bring and to wear for the event.
2. Make the invitation card cover exciting
Rarely does bridal showers a formal event. Use playful themes instead of the formal black script and gold borders.
3. Be sure to include all the necessary information on the card
What you shouldn’t forget are the bride’s name, together with the date, time, and location of the party. Other important information that should be added would be the RSVP name and number, including the date that all replies to the invitation should be in. If this is the party where the bride is going to receive her gifts, the registry information may be added. The actual date of the wedding and the host of the bridal shower can be written in the card too.
4. Add rhymes and poems
Rhymes and poems are a good way to spice up the wedding shower. You can create an original poem or you can make your own. You can use this for the body of the invitation, instead of just listing the information in one block.
5. Choose the perfect paper for the card
Many people keep invitation cards as a memento, especially the family of the bride and the groom. Choose paper of the right color, kind, and quality and you’re sure to make a great wedding shower party.
