Does anyone have a Bridal Shower Invitation that they have developed?

I have a mother of the bride who thinks that a PC shower is a bit tacky. The bride does not, but we all know how unpleasant mom's can be ...

Anyway, I want to be sure that I present this as a class act all the way. That's what I want the invites to portray, as well.

Thanks!
 
Have you seen the Bridal Shower Invites from PC? I think they are very classy - they are a full size invite in an envelope, and come with a recipe card attached so everyone can bring their favorite recipe for the bride.....
Then use the Brides Apron and have everyone sign it - usually people love to do this!
 
The PC Bridal invites are much classier than the regular postcards. They're printed with silver ink, and, as Becky said, are a more typical invitation.

Would you like me to mail you one, Sandy, so you can see it?

Yes, please Ann!

I'll pm in address to you!
 
I made this invitation myself and then printed it on cardstock.

Very nice, Marg :)

Do you simply do a regular cooking show? Do you make a big deal about the bride selecting her items? I'm having a hard time envisioning how that might be made to be a fun event for anyone expect the bride and maybe her maid of honor or her mother ...
 
Yep, I do a regular cooking show and give everyone a "lap pack". I always get personal orders from guests - I just don't include that on the invitation, because, personally, I think it's tacky. Just my two cents. :)

Pardon the "newbie" question, but what is a lap pack? The information they hold in their laps during the show, I'd guess - but what all does it entail?
 
Here's what I came up with... more laid back, but if you changed some of the wording and included a picture of the bridge and groom, it could look very nice on a thicker piece of paper... maybe even linen paper...

Thanks, Alison - You know, I think of you as the Invite Queen :D
 
Aww... thanks Sandy... I love making invitations, flyers, anything of that sort... I am starting to wonder why I didn't go into marketing or something like that...
 
Sandy, I got the invite into the mail - it will go out today. If I remember from college, first class only takes 2 or 3 days from here to IA.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some design ideas for stylish bridal shower invitations?

Consider using elegant fonts, floral patterns, or a color palette that matches the wedding theme. Incorporating gold or silver foil accents can also add a touch of sophistication. Additionally, using high-quality cardstock or unique shapes can make your invitations stand out.

How far in advance should I send out bridal shower invitations?

It's best to send out bridal shower invitations 4 to 6 weeks before the event. This gives guests enough time to RSVP and make arrangements to attend. If your shower is around a holiday or during a busy season, consider sending them out even earlier.

What information should be included on the bridal shower invitation?

Make sure to include the date, time, and location of the shower, as well as the name of the bride-to-be. It's also helpful to include RSVP details, the theme of the shower, and any specific instructions, such as gift registries or dress codes.

Can I personalize bridal shower invitations?

Absolutely! Personalizing invitations with the bride's name, wedding date, and even a personal message can make them more special. Many online printing services offer customizable templates where you can add your own text and images.

Where can I find stylish bridal shower invitations?

You can find stylish bridal shower invitations at local stationery stores, online retailers like Etsy or Zazzle, or even through custom printing services. Many websites offer a wide range of designs that can be tailored to fit your theme and style.
