Wording the bridal shower invitation
A great bridal shower begins with a fun bridal shower invitation. As the first indicator of the shower's date, the invitation should set the tone for the fun fete to come. Send guests an invitation to remember by getting creative with the wording on the shower invitation.
Rhyme Time
Creating a personalized poem for the bride-to-be can be a fun and easy way to give your invitation some pizzazz. One example could include:
The time has come to celebrate,
Lauren's soon-to-be wedded mate,
A few gifts, laughs and food,
We'll all set the mood,
So don't forget the date!
Rhyming invitation wording is great for theme showers, which can inform the content and style of the poem. Don't forget to add the day, date, time and address to the bottom of the invitation.
By the Letter
Another way to make your invitation fun is to spell out the bride-to-be's name on the side of the invitation and making each letter a part of the invite. For example, Karen can turn into.
It's time to stock the Kitchen
With Aprons, pots, and pans
Join us at our Residence
To celebrating the Engagement
of our Newly engaged friend
Another option is to assign guests to bring a gift that corresponds to a letter of the bride-to-be's name.
Potent Quotables
Whether it's a bride's favorite quote, fun song lyric or a quote from a movie, start the invitation off with a quotation to set the mood. You can find quotes by searching such topics as "Romantic Quotes," "Famous Movie Quotes" or "Wedding Quotes" online. Bookstores with books of poems or advice may also be a good resource for finding the perfect quote for your invitation. A few examples might be:
"Well, my friends, the time has come
To raise the roof and have some fun
We're going to party
Karamu, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!" - Lionel Ritchie, All Night Long
"We can make this thing into a party, instead of a memory." - Will Rogers
"This kind of certainty comes but once in a lifetime." - The Bridges of Madison County
"I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." - When Harry Met Sally
Read Before Sending
Once you have chosen the wording for your invitation, be sure to have someone else read over the invitation to make sure there are no errors. Ask yourself if the invitation's wording clearly sends the message about the tone of the shower and gives guests enough information to easily RSVP and find the shower's location.
