How to word a Bridal Shower Invitation Etiquette Guide

This is a paragraph area where you can add your own text. Just click “Edit Text” or double click here to add your own content and make changes to the font. It's a great place to tell a story about your business and let users know more about you.

So you're planning a bridal shower for your bestie and you're wondering what the etiquette is when it comes to invitations? No worries, I've got you covered!

 

When should you send out Bridal Shower invites?

 

It's a good idea to send them out 4-6 weeks before the shower. This gives guests enough time to plan and RSVP. And if the bride-to-be is having a destination wedding or if some of the guests will be traveling from out of town, you might want to send them out even earlier.

​

  • 4-6 weeks before the shower and earlier for out-of-town guests

​

Who to Invite to the Bridal Shower?

​

Of course, you'll want to include all of the bride-to-be's closest friends and family members. And if you're having the shower at a location where space is limited, you might want to stick to the inner circle. But it's important to include anyone who is particularly close to the bride-to-be.

​

  • Bride-to-be's close friends and family members, as well as any out-of-town guests who will be attending the wedding.

​

​

How to word a bridal Shower Invitation

 

When it comes to the wording on the invitations, you want to keep it formal, but still fun and friendly. Make sure to include all the important details like the date, time, location, and who's hosting. And don't forget to include RSVP information with a deadline and the host's contact information.

​

The invitation should include the following information:

​

  • The name of the bride-to-be

  • The date and time of the shower

  • The location of the shower

  • The name of the host(s)

  • RSVP information, including a deadline for responding and the contact information of the host(s)

  • Any information about the theme or dress code for the shower

 

​

Examples of Wording

​

​

Example 1:

​

"Please join us in celebrating the upcoming marriage of (Bride's name)

Date: (Date of shower) Time: (Time of shower) Location: (Location of shower) Hosted by: (Host's name)

​

​

Gift Registry Information

​

As for gift registry information, it's not necessary to include it on the invitation, but you can include a small card with the registry information or even list multiple registry options. And if the bride-to-be doesn't have a registry, it's totally okay to ask for gifts of money or gift cards.

​

  • Include a small card with the invitation with registry information.

  • If the bride-to-be does not have a registry, it is appropriate to ask for gifts of money or gift cards.
