Planning the shower

- Mention a theme or dress code so guests can play along.
- Add a gift note if there's a registry, or say "no gifts" if not.
A bridal shower is the calm, happy pause before the wedding storm.
Before you send
- Hosts' names and RSVP contact
- Date, time, venue and theme
- Gift registry or "no gifts" note
- Guest list checked with the bride
Lines for the bride's friends

- Let's spoil the bride before the wedding madness begins. [Date], [Venue].
Activities to mention
Many bridal showers include a few light activities: a game about how well guests know the couple, a wishes jar, a flower crown station, or advice cards for the bride. If you're planning one, mention it on the invitation, "bring your best marriage advice!", so guests come ready to join in. Keep the shower to two or three hours, and make sure the bride has time to talk to everyone, since that's what she'll remember most.
A note on gifts
Bridal shower gifts are usually small and personal: something for the bride's trousseau, a keepsake, or a gift for her new home. If there's a registry, add a line with the link; if not, "your company is the only gift she needs" keeps it simple. Many friends prefer to pool together for one special gift, which you can mention in the invite.
Send the invitation three to four weeks ahead, so guests can plan around the busy wedding month.
