Fun Invitations

The general vibe of a bridal shower celebration is cool, funky and informal. It is a fun, casual get together for the bride and her female friends and relatives before she gets hitched. Your bridal shower invitations should therefore sum up the cheery aura of the occasion and make your guests look forward to attending the bash. Put your creative designing skills to use and make these invitations as gorgeous as the soon to be bride. If it's all about showering the bride with attention and affection before her big day-do it in style.

If you've decided to opt for fun bridal shower invitations, make sure it flows with your theme. For a lingerie bridal party theme, use racy images of hot pink lingerie against a black or white background. This is a super fun theme invitation card for an "all girls" party. If you are having a summer poolside cocktail event, fill your fun bridal shower invitations with images of vibrant margarita glasses adorned with pretty umbrellas. Throw in visuals of a few tropical fruits and chocolates and you have a lip-smacking looking bridal shower invite. Opt for themes which are interesting, unusual and memorable.

Hawaiian luau themed cards also make for fun bridal shower invitations. They can instantly get the guests into the celebratory "song and dance" mood. Images of hula girls with grass skirts, lei garlands, tiki torches, palm trees, surfing boards, bright floral shirts and summer fruits and cocktails successfully recreate the ambiance of a fun tropical celebration.

You can also use a designer collection theme for a shopaholic and brand conscious bride. These fun bridal shower invitations can have visuals of chic clothes and accessories inspired by world class designer brands. A great idea for the fashion aficiando bride is to design the bridal shower invitations like a fashion magazine cover and superimpose the face of the bride on the body of the cover girl wrapped in designer attire. Another enjoyable "all women" theme is a relaxing spa bridal shower. The invitations for a spa celebration can have pictures of a woman in her bridal attire (to bring in the wedding element creatively) enjoying a pampering spa treatment.

Use tongue in cheek, witty and engaging copy for your fun bridal shower invitations to maintain a consistency in the informal tone. The visuals and wordings should complement each other perfectly. Keep the copy relevant to the theme. Even details like date, time, venue and gifts can be weaved around the theme creatively to make the invitations more entertaining. You can have a poem composed specially for the bride by a friend who has a way with words.

Have some creative fun using animated cartoon images of the bride in a hilarious "just about to get married" situation to take a potshot at marriages in a lighter vein. The bride can be shown wearing high heels and awkwardly walking down an aisle with a talk bubble saying "walking down the aisle can be a tricky affair". You can incorporate a bunch of humorous one-liners and puns for your fun bridal shower invitations. A collage of photographs capturing fun moments in the bride's life also conveys the essence of the invite theme well.
