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. Bridal shower invitations are now becoming a source of pride for many future brides. They do not necessarily want the most expensive or the flashiest. Something different that everyone will remember fits the bill. 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.
The first step is to brainstorm. Roughly draw what you picture each of your ideas will look like. Think about how the bridal shower invitations will be addressed and how they will open. Put together a list of items needed for the ideas you like the most. Try to calculate the tab for delivery of 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.
You can order or purchase all the materials after you have a firm design concept. 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 calligraphy or penmanship is not your bailiwick, consider purchasing a stencil set. 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. People love ribbons, bows and glittery things that fly out 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. There is nothing wrong with having your invitations professionally done. There are so many options for unique bridal shower invitations these days that you need not be destined to something boring just because you do not hand make them. Have fun and chill. A stressed out bride is a bummer.
