The most important factor of a bridal shower is the guests. Planning a fabulous shower could be a lot of work, but it’ll be unsuccessful without sending invitations to the guests. Invitations could be sent via mail. If the bridal shower is less formal, an electronic invitation is acceptable.
When to send a bridal shower invitation?
Invitations should be mailed out no later than 3-4 weeks before the shower. This gives enough time for guests to receive the invitations and RSVP. This time frame gives the guests enough time to buy a gift for the bride.
What to include in the bridal shower invitation?
Be sure to include the following in a bridal shower invitation.
- Name of the hostess or host. If the entire bridal shower is hosting the shower, their names could be listed or state on the invitation “given by the bridal party.
- Name of the person the shower is honoring.
