Knowing what to write in an invitation can leave you stumped!
It doesn’t need to be complicated, yes you can go all formal and follow the rules. But really, all you need to make sure is that you include all the key details.
What to include in a bridal shower invite
Here are some key details to consider:
- Header:
- Start with a catchy or elegant header that sets the tone for the event, such as “You’re Invited!” or “Join us for a Bridal Shower Celebration.”
- Honoree’s Name:
- Begin the invitation by mentioning the name of the bride-to-be or the couple (if it’s a co-ed shower) to make it clear who the event is for.
- Event Details:
- Date: Include the date of the bridal shower.
- Time: Specify the start time and, if applicable, the end time.
- Venue: Mention the name and address of the venue where the bridal shower will take place.
- Theme (if applicable): If the shower has a specific theme, mention it here.
- Dress Code (if applicable): Indicate if there’s a specific dress code, such as casual, formal, or themed attire.
- RSVP Information:
- Provide a deadline for guests to RSVP by and include the name and contact information of the person to whom they should respond. This can be an email address, phone number, or an RSVP card.
- Gift Registry (optional):
- If the bride has a gift registry, include the relevant information, such as the store name or website, to assist guests in choosing a gift.
- Additional Instructions (if necessary):
- If there are any special instructions or requests, such as bringing a dish for a potluck-style shower or bringing a recipe for a recipe-themed shower, mention them here.
- Closing:
- Conclude the invitation with a warm closing, such as “We look forward to celebrating with you!” or “Your presence is requested to honor the bride-to-be.”
- Sender Information:
- Sign off with the host’s name(s) or the person(s) responsible for organizing the shower.
Remember to use appropriate language and tone that reflects the style and formality of the event. You can get creative with the design and layout of the invitation to match the theme or the bride’s personality.
Overall, the invitation should clearly convey the essential details of the bridal shower and create excitement for the upcoming celebration.
