It used to be that when you received an invitation to a bridal shower, it was either a very stodgy thing printed professionally on Crane paper or one of those fill in the blank kind of things. Now more and more brides to be are longing for creativity and uniqueness in their bridal shower invitations. Invitations that clearly broke the bank are not always the goal. Something different that everyone will remember fits the bill. If you long to create your own bridal shower invitations, but do not know where to begin, read on.
The first step is to brainstorm. Draw everything out on paper or do it on your computer, if you prefer. Picture your guests receiving your bridal shower invitations and how the invitations will be situated in their envelopes. Put together a list of items needed for the ideas you like the most. Then think through how much it will cost to send the invitations. I have thrown out many a great idea when I discovered it would be too labor intensive or expensive. Work on the wording of your invitation once you decide on the winning idea. This is an important step, so you do not accidentally buy paper or cards that are too small for your message or leave too much wide open space that you then have to fill with impromptu design.
Once you have your concept and a solid list of the supplies you need and what size invitations you are going to make, you can head to the store. Make sure to order envelopes that correspond with your invitations. That does not mean that the colors have to match; it simply means to match the style and quality of the bridal shower invitations. If you are going to handwrite the invitation message, a set of specialty calligraphy pens will be invaluable. If calligraphy or penmanship is not your bailiwick, consider purchasing a stencil set. There are people who will provide their fancy handwriting for your bridal shower invitations for a small fee. Finally, you should always remember that invitations with bells and whistles always tickle the fancy of even the toughest shower guest. Those of you making exciting 3D pop out invitations and cards shaped like wine bottles have the accessories thing taken care of. People love ribbons, bows and glittery things that fly out when they open their bridal shower invitations. Give them something pretty.
I will close by saying that, if anywhere in this process, you decide it is too frustrating or you do not have time to have a regular job and make bridal shower invitations, abandon ship for the sake of your sanity. There is nothing wrong with having your invitations professionally done. There are incredible companies and small boutiques online and on main street that exist because they provide cool and distinctive bridal shower invitations that will wow your guests. Have fun and chill. A stressed out bride is a bummer.
