You want your invitations to get the party started by introducing the shower theme to those you are inviting. However, wording the invitations can be tricky, depending on the shower’s theme. Regardless of the theme, here are some key elements to remember when writing your bridal shower invitations:

• Day/Date/Time: Be sure to include the day, date, and time of the shower. Remember to send out the invitations 4-6 weeks in advance of the shower so people can plan accordingly.
• Location/Map: Don’t forget to provide the location along with a map as to where the shower will be held. This will help ensure people know exactly where they are going and don’t get lost.
• Gift ideas/where registered: Provide information as to where the couple is registered so friends and family of the bride and groom can purchase gifts that the bride and groom really want. This will help alleviate any hurt feelings or the need to return redundant or unwanted gifts.
• Party Theme: If your bridal shower has a "party" theme, make sure the invitation reflects that particular theme. For example, if you are having a "Mexican-themed" shower, you will want your invitation to be brightly colored, and include an Hispanic flair in both wording and design.
• RSVP: Include the phone number of the person in charge of the shower so people can call and indicate whether or not they plan to attend. Include in the RSVP if you want people to RSVP regardless of whether or not they are coming.
• Kids invited/not invited: If you are having a risqué shower, you may not want kids invited. Make sure your invitation spells out whether or not kids should/can attend - even if they are in the wedding party.

Wording your invitations can be tricky, but can also be a fun and creative way to encourage as many guests to come as possible. Help keep the shower as simple as possible by providing extensive details regarding the shower/bride within the invitation.

As always, keep in mind the taste of the bride when putting together a themed bridal shower, and remember to be tasteful. Including some of the above mentioned items will get you started on the way to planning a fun bridal shower!
