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. Memorable is the sought after descriptor these days. If you subscribe to this way of thinking and strive to make your own bridal shower invitations, then I can help give you a few pointers.
You should jot down all your ideas before you even buy one envelope. Roughly draw what you picture each of your ideas will look like. 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. Often, it is easy to weed out certain ideas because the materials will just cost too much. Work on the wording of your invitation once you decide on the winning idea. Do this before you buy the materials, so you know what size paper you will need and how much room for embellishment you will have.
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. Do not try to save costs by getting envelopes that do not match the 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. Order some good calligraphy pens if you plan to write the message yourself. If your handwriting is not invitation worthy, you can rely on stencils for the message portion of your invitation. 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. What prospective guests would not want to be greeted with music, feathers, ribbons or painted somethings 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. It is completely respectable to have your invitations outsourced. 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. This is supposed to be fun. Do what is best for you.
