COED BRIDAL SHOWER INVITATION IDEAS

By making your own unique invitation, you can set the mood for the theme and style of your shower.

Try to capture the interest of your guests from the moment that they receive their invitation.

For example,

  • If you are using a theme, then spark your guest's interest by letting them know what that theme is.
  • If the bride is using a favorite color in decorating her future home, incorporate that color into the shower invitations. Many hobby shops carry color-coordinated envelopes and paper.
  • A popular invitation idea is an open umbrella. You can print off a picture of an umbrella on card stock. Then print the information for the shower on the back of the card.
  • Select elegant note cards and use a calligraphy font to write out the party details.
  • Postcards are another inexpensive invitation idea. You can purchase plain already-stamped postcards from the local post office and decorate them to go with your theme.
