Looking to host the perfect bridal shower? Here are a few tips and tricks to help you choose the perfect invitation:
Choose a Theme
You do not need a theme but some prefer to have one. Themed doesn’t have to mean extravagant. The theme could be as simple as certain colors (like the wedding colors) or a certain type of food or ethnicity or you can really play it up and do a Breakfast at Tiffanys brunch or an afternoon tea.
Decide on the Decor
Check out different sites and blogs for decoration inspiration. The Knot and Martha Stewart both have wonderful ideas from simple DIY decorations to more upscale decor. These inspirational blogs and websites might help you decide everything else.
Also, don’t forget about where you are hosting the shower when it comes to decor. If the shower is being held at a restaurant you may want to incorporate the restaurant’s decor and style with your invitation.
Pick an Invitation
And when choosing the decor think about how you want that interpreted on the invitations. Both of these can play upon each other to tie the theme together. And remember that Cherish Paperie can personalize and customize any invitation you may find or be interested in! I especially love the design pictured above for a brunch shower or if you’re planning a tea, our new tea bag invitation will definitely add the perfect touch.
Mail out the Invitations
Talk with the bride (or her mother) to see if any close relatives or friends live out of state. A good time to send out the invitations is 4-6 weeks in advance of the shower; closer to 6 weeks if there are guests who need to make travel arrangements or if it is during a busy social season such as the winter or summer holidays.
