You must not forget to have a perfect bridal shower invitation, if you want to have a perfect bridal shower. People were invited to parties and other event with town criers during the Middle Ages. Since most of the people then are illiterate, this was so much practical. Centuries later, members of the nobility used monks to write the invitations for their parties and they were delivered personally to the guests. This was the familys way of showing how wealthy they are since the payment for the monks were quite high. During the Victorian Era, the practice of bridal shower begun. When lithography was invented, also during this time, invitations for all occasions even for bridal showers were then printed in similar way we have today. In the next century following the Victorian Era, bridal shower invitations were then engraved. This became the favorite of the nobility since it had the same handwritten look the monks used. Later on, cheaper printing became available through thermography. The people, not just the nobility and the elite, started using this kind of invitation not just for bridal shower but for other occasions. It became the start of mass produced bridal shower invitations. By this time it was already the modern era and the people begun imitating the nobles and the rich and famous bridal showers including their bridal shower invitations. For their part, the elite took it upon themselves to share their expertise with the masses. There was even a book on etiquette on how to properly address the invitations written by Emily Post and Amy Vanderbilt.
