Wedding shower invitations can include those made by hand as well as those ordered in bulk from online retailers. Templates for wedding shower invitations available through wedding websites are also options. Invitations should reflect the shower's theme, such as a western or nautical-themed shower. Shower invites should be sent at least three weeks before the shower.
Nature Theme
Nature themed invites can include those printed on green card stock that feature assorted natural images, such as trees or flowers, as well as those made by hand. Ideas include card stock invites cut into natural shapes, such as flowers and leaves, or invites that feature pressed flowers. Other options include seed packet invites.
Candy Theme
Throw a candy-themed shower complete with invitations in the shape of assorted treats. Ideas include invites in the shape of large lollipops or cupcakes, or those that feature collages of candy bar wrappers. Candy bar wrappers can also be reused to spell out the necessary information on the invitation. Include small pieces of candy with the invite if applicable.
Nautical Theme
Brides getting married on the beach can use beach-themed wedding shower invitations. Purchase invites that feature images of anchors, crabs and other sea creatures, ships, or seashells. Invites held together by "sailor's rope" is another option. If making invitations at home, glitter glue can be mixed with sand to create a grainy invite surface.
Western Theme
Western themed wedding shower invitation ideas include those in the style of a "Wanted!" poster, as well as those that feature images of horseshoes or silhouettes of horses in an open field. Invites in the shape of cowboy boots or hats are also options. Purchase such invites through online sites or make them at home.
Use invitations that will have friends and family members excited for the event. Invites can be as formal or informal as desired depending on the nature of the wedding shower.
