Bridal Shower Invitations

Selecting bridal shower invitations is probably one of the first things you'll do when you're planning your shower. With so many invitations available, how do you decide which are the right ones for you? Making a decision on the right bridal shower invitations can be made easier by considering a few main criteria.

Your budget is bound to be one of the deciding factors, so it's good to know what you want to spend on your shower as a whole. Keeping that figure in mind, don't spend all that money on the invitations or there will be no party for people to attend.

Choosing a theme for your bridal shower is much more fun than thinking about your budget, and it is also one of the easiest ways to decide on the right bridal shower invitations for you. Most weddings have a central theme of love, so the bridal shower is a chance to throw a party with a completely different and unique theme. Once you've decided on your theme, you will be able to more easily choose the right invitations to go with it.

Perhaps the bride-to-be is an avid gardener, so how about a green thumb-related theme like a wildflower garden? Guests can be asked to bring a plant for the bride--indoor or outdoor plants will do. Party favors can include cut flowers, packets of flower seeds, miniature garden tool sets, and any number of other gardening-related items.

Decorations with wildflower patterns can include tablecloths, napkins, plates and cups. The placement of fresh cut wildflowers about the room in beautiful vases will add a nice touch to the decor. Invitations for the bridal shower can have a central garden theme or might display beautiful and colorful images of an English garden. Invitations printed on handmade paper which includes pressed flowers in the pulp mixture would complement the theme of the party perfectly.

Perhaps a dance theme would be right for the bride. A bride who is a ballet, tap, or ballroom dance nut would be happy with a dance theme. Images of couples dancing in a variety of styles could be used in decorations. Music is a must and should fill the room, giving party goers the chance to test out their dance steps. Party favors and game prizes can include CDs, gift certificates to a ballroom dance class, or any other items which revolved around the theme of music or dance.

Placing golden footprints on the floor in the room in patterns of common dances would be a great touch. Number the footprints to indicate the right series for performing the particular dance, and ask guests to test them out. Play the music which is right for the dance they represent and measure guest accuracy. This can make a great game for your party.

Selecting bridal shower invitations that display a dancing couple in flashy outfits could be perfect. Perhaps a man in a zoot-suit and a woman in a fancy dress dancing the jitterbug would work well.

Choosing the theme for the bridal shower will let you determine the best design to appear on the invitations but there are several more design elements you'll need to make choices about as well, including the shape, orientation, and size of the cards. Choosing cards in unique shapes and sizes can add something special to the bride's scrapbook.

Other design elements to consider when choosing the right invitations for the bridal shower will include the selection of paper color, type, weight, and grade. A variety of papers are available for the creation of invitations, and a company which specializes in printing all of the paper items used in weddings will have a wide range of products from which to choose.

You should consider the appearance of the invitation but also the feel of it as well. A fine invitation will carry a particular weight, with thicker paper producing a better quality print. Thicker papers hold up better over time, creating a keepsake and not just a simple invitation to a party. The texture of the paper you select can add to the overall design and presentation too, so be sure to give yourself the chance to feel samples of the papers available for invitations.
