The short answer: Send bridal shower invitations 4 to 6 weeks before the shower, with the bride’s name, the host, date, time, address, RSVP info and registry details. Go Print Plus prints bridal shower invitations from $1.16 each with a 20-piece minimum, and matching welcome signs from $29.99.
A bridal shower should feel like a warm hug with cake. The planning, on the other hand, can feel like herding cats with Pinterest boards. Here’s the short path from “we should throw her a shower” to a party that looks pulled-together.
What goes on a bridal shower invitation?
- “Please join us for a bridal shower honoring” + the bride’s name
- Date, time and full address
- Host name(s)
- RSVP name, phone and date
- Registry information (it’s fine on a shower invite)
- Theme or dress code, if any
When should bridal shower invitations go out?
Mail 4–6 weeks before the shower, which usually lands 2–3 months before the wedding. Order 2 weeks before your mail date: proofs arrive in 1–2 business days and printing ships 1–2 business days after approval.
