How to Word a Bridal Shower Invitation

By Anna Lynn Sibal

It is one thing to host a bridal shower party, but the party would not be a smash if no one attends it. As thus, bridal shower invitations play a crucial part in the success of the affair - sending it ahead of time and worded properly will make sure that people show up.

But how do you word a bridal shower invitation?
Here is how.

Information on Each Bridal Shower Invitation

When you write a bridal shower invitation, the invitation must absolutely contain the following information.

• The bride's full name
• The name of the groom if many of the guests are not acquainted with the bride
• The date and time of the bridal shower
• The venue and address of the bridal shower
• Whom to RSVP, how to contact this person and by what date should the RSVP be sent

If you have a theme for the bridal shower party, you should indicate it on the bridal shower invitation as well. It may also help to put in other details on the invitation, such as who would be hosting the bridal shower, where the bride is registered for her gifts, and the date of the wedding.

Planning a surprise party? Make sure that you put that clearly on the bridal shower invitation. And in case it is a surprise bridal shower, include the time that the bride is supposed to show up at the venue so that your guests would arrive before she does.
