Shower Invitations To Your Wedding Guests
By Natalie Glass
Showers are gift giving parties. Shower invitations
are given for different reasons, such as for bridal
showers to give gifts to the bride, couples showers
to shower the couple with gifts and baby showers to
shower the mother or parents-to-be with gifts.
Bridal and wedding showers are traditionally hosted
by the maid-of-honor and she sends out the invitations
to female friends and relatives of the bride. Today,
couples’ showers are becoming more popular in the co-ed
society that we live in. Baby showers are typically
hosted by members of the family in honor of the mother-to-be.
Today, however, both parents get involved and a baby
shower for both parents is popular. Ready made or custom
shower invitations will reflect what type of shower
being given.
Inviting Guests To The Wedding Shower
Shower invitations, shower invitations, shower invitations!
Wedding showers are normally held about two weeks before
the big occasion and should be mailed well in advance
to reach guests in time so that they can save the day
for the party.
The date time and venue of the party including a map,
if required, should be clear to make arrival easy for
the guests. Guests who are invited to the shower should
be, as a rule, invited to the wedding.
Details Of The Registry For Gifts Are Included On The
Wedding Invitations
Since showers are essentially parties where gifts are
given, some shower invitations carry the details of
the registry of stores to which the bride subscribes.
In today’s busy world, guests find this a big help when
looking for a gift that will be cherished for many years.
Shower parties today usually have a theme to make them
more enjoyable and memorable to the host, the guests
and the guest of honor. Popular themes for bridal showers
are lingerie showers, recipe showers and pampered bride
showers. A couple’s shower may have themes like handyman
or handywoman, or a stock the bar theme.
Custom Invitations
Whatever the topic, the shower invitations should carry
a picture and details to add to the guest’s anticipation
of the party. When a surprise shower party is held,
the invitations should definitely state the time by
which the guests are expected to arrive. You may even
decide to purchase custom invitations for your shower.
Many shower invitations request those who plan to attend
to RSVP according to the date that is written on the
card. By asking for the guests to RSVP for the shower,
the hostess is better able to plan for food and drink
supplies that will be needed.
It is important that your bridal shower invitations,
or baby shower invitations are eye catching and make
those invited excited about the upcoming event. Look
over some invitation samples online and consider purchasing
some special invitation paper or a kit that will help
you design your own.

More Wedding Invitation Facts....
Picking out the right wedding invitations are extremely
important to any happy couple. It is how they announce
their intention to wed to the world. Family, friends
and co-workers become the recipients of these prized
tokens.
It is a declaration of love to each other and a great
way for people to keep up with the date of the wedding.
Most couples pour over tons of samples. Some they like
and some are definitely not a fit.
What tasks does a wedding planner handle?
A professional wedding planner
can handle everything you want, or nothing you want.
Their main goal is to provide a stress free environment
for the bride. Most wedding planners will handle the
wedding, the reception and help choreograph all of the
individuals in the wedding.
He or she can help you in picking out decorations,
flower arrangements as well as offer plenty of tips
and advice on how to make the day beautiful.
What are the rules regarding receptions?
There are no hard-fast rules when
it comes to receptions. The reception can be whatever you
want it to be. It can be a simple affair where the guests
are there just long enough to give their congratulations
to the couple or it can be a lavish party where there is
food, music and drinks.
Who pays for the wedding and reception?
Traditionally the bride’s family
paid for the entire wedding except the rehearsal dinner,
which was paid for by the groom’s family. In modern
society it is often the couple who pay for the
majority of the wedding. This could be due to the
fact that many people are marrying later in life or
have been married once before.
