Personalize Your Bridal Shower Invitations

Questions You May Have:

? When should they be sent?
Four to six weeks in advance of the party. This gives your guests plenty of time to mark their calendars, make any necessary plans, and respond.
*** If most of your guests are from another state (or even another country), give them as much notice as possible.

? What information should be included? This is the who, what, when, where, and why. It tells your guests the basic facts about the party. You can explain the theme, if there is one. You may also want to enclose directions.

? Should I add the bridal shower registry?

Are there any do's and don'ts when it comes to your invites?
