Make sure your invitation has all the necessary information.
Planning a bridal shower can be a stressful experience. The last thing you need is a mix-up on the invitations that leaves guests confused about the event. The wording of the invitation not only provides needed information, it can also set the tone for the shower.
Names
Put the full name of the bride for those who may not be as familiar with her. and include the name of her fiance so that guests from both sides of the family know who you're talking about.
Place
When giving the location of the shower, include the name of the venue as well as the address. If the location is a little confusing to find, add a map on the back of the invitation or as an insert.
Time of Day
Be specific about the start and end times of the shower. This ensures that your guests will know how long to plan to stay. Unless it's an open house, having guests come and go could create unnecessary stress on your celebration.
RSVP Information
Having guests RSVP for the shower will help decrease worry as you're making your plans. Be sure to have both the first and last name as well as a phone number and email address as the contact information. This makes responding easier for guests.
Gift Information
If your bridal shower has a theme (kitchen, bedroom/romantic, etc) and you would like the gifts to follow suit, make sure your guests are aware of that information. Including where that the bride and groom are registered is a good way to help guests in their gift-giving decisions.
