Shower Invitations

A wedding shower invitation should include all the basic information of location, time and date. Make sure this information is set out clearly so that it's easy for the guest to follow.

Here are some tips on which elements to include on your beautiful shower invite:

• Whom - wedding couple
• When - date
• Where - location of party
• Who – host's name & phone number

Most importantly, include the R.S.V.P. information so you know how many guests are coming.

Another great idea is to include the theme of the shower or wedding in the design of the invitation. This will help guests with gift ideas for the engaged couple.

Remember to also mention the gift registry, if any, naming the store or stores that have been pre-visited by the engaged couple. When visiting these stores, the shower or wedding guests will find a pre-selected gift list for the engaged couple.

Sending the invitations

Here are some helpful suggestions to help you organize and run a wedding shower more smoothly and how you can use your invitations to secure the guest list.

Send out the wedding shower invitations at least four weeks in advance. This allows you enough time to plan properly. Four weeks is a sufficient amount of time for guests to R.S.V.P. to the wedding or shower invitation.

Follow up with each guest who hasn’t sent an R.S.V.P. back to you. By doing this, you will have a more accurate number to work with when planning the food and drinks for the party or reception.
