Choosing great bridal shower invitations, of course.

1) Invitees

The number of people invited to the bridal shower will have a definite effect on the bridal shower invitations. Especially for those planning with a limited budget, the cost of a ton of fancy invitations for a ton of guests can get out of hand. Before you can be sure about the kind of invitation you want for a bridal shower, it's important to think through your guestlist. When you consider the number of attendees, it's much easier to judge what kind of invitations your can get without breaking the budget.

2) Theme

When choosing bridal shower invitations, you'll also need to consider the theme of the shower. Sometimes this theme can follow the wedding theme, such as a beach side bridal shower for a beach wedding. Other times, it can be something racy and fun, such as a lingerie bridal shower. If there is a set theme for the party, the bridal shower invitations should make that clear.

3) Design

How your bridal shower invitations are designed will generally be decided by your theme. But it will also depend heavily on the tone of the shower. Will it be a formal bridal shower? Then formal invitations are your best choice. Hosting an informal get together with the girls? Then go with fun, colorful bridal shower invitations. It's important to remember that your invitation design will give your guests the first hint of what kind of party to expect.

4) Printing

There are countless options for printing your bridal shower invitations. For bridal shower planners on a budget, it's often best to print your invitations on a home printer or in a printing shop. Easier (but generally more expensive) is purchasing invitations. When you buy ready made bridal shower invitations, you can either purchase them pre made, or have them custom printed according to your design. To save time and effort, many people choose to order bridal shower invitations over the internet.

5) Wording

When thinking of the wording for your bridal shower invitations, there's a lot you'll need to keep in mind. The wording you choose should always reflect the bridal shower's theme and its level of formality. Your bridal shower invitations' wording also needs to go over any information you guests must know, such as gift or wardrobe requirements.
