Tips For Making Bridal Shower Invitations

Include RSVP Details

RSVP details are critical for the host of the bridal shower! Ladies, you need to figure out how much food and drink to order, how many tables to rent or reserve, how many party favors you'll need, and more. It all depends on roughly how many people will be in attendance. The solution? Be specific in your RSVP instructions!

Typically, invitations for bridal showers do not include RSVP details on a returnable card. Instead, list a phone number or an email address to where guests should send their RSVP to. Ladies, also say if they need to text or call the number! It's also a great idea to say what info they need to include when they send their RSVP! For example: 'RSVP via text or call to 111-222-3333 by April 18th. Send us your name, whether you're able to make it, and one of your favorite memories of the bride!'

Don't Forget Registry Information

The bridal shower is a celebration of the upcoming wedding, but it's also a chance for some guests to present their gifts! Ladies, that's why you don't want to forget registry information on the bridal shower invitation! If you (or the couple) are using a wedding website, direct guests to that website. Of course, double-check that the registry portion is set up first. It's also a good idea to list the names of the stores at which they're registered. However, there's more!

Some couples aren't using traditional registries for things like home goods. Instead, they're often asking for contributions to a fund for their honeymoon, a new house, or even for charities! These are great to encourage practical and enjoyable gifts. That said, it's a good idea to have at least a small traditional registry listed for the bridal shower. If Aunt Maude is going to insist on bringing a physical gift, it may as well be something the couple chose!
