Tips for Buying Bridal Shower Invites

Bridal shower invites are, lets be honest here, an enormous pain in the butt. Making out the guest list, politicking over the guest list, picking out an invitation design, arguing over the wording, ordering the invitations in time, stuffing envelopes, printing address labels, sticking stamps and labels on, getting everything in the mail in time... It is exhausting. These quick tips will smooth over the more irritating parts of the process and speed you on to the fun part: planning the party itself.
Getting the bridal shower invites online is far faster and simpler than buying them in a store. 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. Many web stores divide up their designs for you by theme and color scheme as well as by collection or designer. You can use the web stores templates to lay out the card and see its finished look. You can even get a set of coordinating cards, envelopes, and envelope decorations, or you can create your own set to reflect the brides unique style. When you have the perfect invitation laid out, you can finish ordering them and get them dropped into your mailbox in the next few 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, thats a good idea no matter what state the plans are in.)
When the bridal shower invites arrive, call over a few friends and make the stuffing and labeling into a party. Fill the CD player with your favorite music or rent a light comedy, get some snacks (but nothing that will get grease or dubious orange smears on the invitations), and toss the invitations together assembly line style. Even if the bride has more friends than Auntie Mame and it feels like youre inviting half of Manhattan, you will have the invitations done in record time.
And remember: Do not stress. The bridal shower will be fantastic. Take care of the fundamentals, and the little details, like whether the bridal shower invite card matches the envelope just right, will not matter. The most important thing is to celebrate the brides new life, so get the preliminaries out of the way, and party!
