Having the honor of inviting the brides closest friends and female relatives is part of the fun of throwing bridal shower. After you have prepared everything and has gone over all the details like a good general, you must now face the task of inviting the people to the party. Now, why leave the invitation for last, you might ask? Well, first in terms of practicality, in case you suddenly have to move the date to another day, you would not want to go to the hassle of calling everyone and then resend another invitation. Also, of course you want a successful party where everything is perfect, right? And this includes the invitation. So it would be better to have the invitation last so that you can be sure that they will match your party. What if you suddenly decide to throw away a theme party instead? Of course you want your invitation to have the same theme and to inform your guests properly. In other words, if you still have not sent out the invitation, you can still make as many changes as your want with the party.

Now before you write on the invitations, the first thing you should do is to make a list of all the people you are going to invite. To make sure you have not left someone uninvited, you start by asking the bride for list of. Then with the list on your hand, go over it with the bride so you can make sure that these people would also be invited in the wedding. It would be embarrassing for the bride if you invite someone for the bridal party when that someone is not invited in the wedding.

Next after the list is the right wording for your invitation. Make sure you have the brides full name, date of your party, the time of the party, where the party will be and the RSVP details on your invitation. Then you also might want to include the theme of the party and the gifts, if it is a theme party. And do not forget your name as the host of the bridal shower. If you are giving a surprise party, make sure you give explicit instructions and details to the guests so that they will be able to arrive earlier than the bride. Last but certainly the most important, your guests should have time to buy gifts, to prepare and to arrange their schedules so your invitation must be received by all the guests ahead of time.
