Bridal shower invites are, lets be honest here, an enormous pain in the butt. Writing out the guest list without letting the bride know, wrangling over who should be invited, choosing a design, deciding on the invitations wording, getting the invitations from the printer in time, getting the envelopes stuffed, labeled, and stamped, mailing everything out in time... It is work! Here are a few tips to make the process less annoying and let you move on to the fun parts of planning the bridal shower.
Buying bridal shower invites online simplifies the process immensely. You have a far wider choice of invitation designs because you are not limited to what a store can keep in stock, you can search designs far more easily than if you had to flip through them by hand or skim shelves, and you can hit a dozen web stores in less time than it would take you to visit one brick and mortar store. Some online stores will let you search by color and style as well as by designer and collection. You can use the web stores templates to lay out the card and see its finished look. You can even choose matching envelopes and seals, or mix and match for a unique style. When you are done, you can pay for them online and have them delivered to your door within days.
To avoid the panic of getting your bridal shower invites late, order them as soon as possible. If plans keep shifting and you are worried that the invitations will be inaccurate by the time they reach the guests, pick out a social networking site that the bride does not go to, throw together a party page, and put the web address on the invitations. (In fact, party pages are useful no matter how solid your plans are.)
When you get the bridal shower invites in the mail, turn the invitation prep into a party with a few of your friends. Put on some loud music or a silly movie, order in food (but nothing drippy, greasy, or saucy, unless "grunge" is the wedding theme), and turn yourselves into an assembly line. Even if you have a guest list that seems to include half the town, getting the invitations ready will take no time at all.
And remember: Do not stress. The bridal shower will be fantastic. Look after the important things, and the details, like whether the bridal shower invite envelopes match the seals absolutely perfectly, will take care of themselves. The most important thing is to celebrate the brides new life, so get the preliminaries out of the way, and party! See also Cheap wedding invitations -- Wedding flowers -- Bridal shower --
