Bridal Shower Invitations and the Considerations

Written by Jeff Fain

Thursday, 06 November 2008

Bridal shower invitations can be light, fluffy, airy, and serene. It's a nice treat to get a pale white invitation with a blue cloud, a pink ribbon, and a smiley face. It's even better when the invitation mentions that the person is going to be invited to an exciting, fun bridal shower replete with treats, meals, games, and festivities - not to mention the joyous togetherness of friends and family members. Here are a few considerations for planning the bridal shower before one goes to all the work of sending out the bridal shower invitations.

The event's timing is a couple weeks or a couple months before the big day. Be sure not to invite guests that were not invited to the wedding. It's pretty obvious what can happen in that kind of situation. Hurt feelings are an absolute certainty if that were to inadvertently happen. Sometimes, people create couples parties instead of girls' only parties. Girls' only parties have the advantage of giving the women a forum for discussion outside the prying ears of husbands and boyfriends. It's impossible for the women to really have fun with their husbands there. There will be plenty of time for that after the wedding. Couples double dates and friendly barbecues and get-togethers are a staple of married life. Set aside the bridal shower to be a special time for just the girls. Showers are often held in the afternoon so that the partying can continue into the evening if necessary. Plus, lots of women have children that they have to take care of in the morning. Make sure the bridal shower invitations stipulate certain parameters of the party so people dress, eat, give gifts, and have a good time without worrying they're doing something averse to the party's theme. Ice breakers, games that encourage women to get to know one another, are fun for getting all the women from different walks of life into a spirit of bonding and togetherness.

Untraditional bridal shower settings like the beach, the restaurant, or the spa are becoming more and more used by women that know what they want in life. Women are taking active steps to integrate social success into marital success, and there's no better way of symbolizing that than by using your time off to kick back, relax, and go out and do what you want to do. Day spas are an excellent solution, and the bridal shower invitations can even mention that all the guests get free manicures - courtesy of the bride's husband. Make sure to send out bridal shower invitations a good month before the celebration starts.
