I think invites are the perfect jumping off point for planning anything. I was probably more excited about finding the invites than actually planning the shower when I decided to throw the bestie a bridal shower. I knew I wanted something classy and fun and reflective of the brides personality.
Invites are the first things to make an impression on your guests so I find it of utmost importance for them to be entirely fabulous. Uno problemo - they're expensive! I wasn't about to spend 50 bucks on invites! So, Etsy to the rescue! There are some shops that have some of the best print-yourself invites! It took me weeks to finally find the perfect one at Freshmint Paperie Etsy Shop! It was the perfect mix of classy yet fun and hip. And I love me some chevron! I was able to customize the words and colors to exactly how I wanted it and I got the proof within days of ordering the invite! Best part of it all? They only cost me 82 cents a person! Win!
Throw some sparkly confetti in there and finish it off the envelopes with some gold chevron Washi tape and throw them in the mail! Part 1 of the shower planning process complete!
Invite tips:
1 - They don't have to cost you a fortune. Look into print yourself invites before ordering semi-custom ones.
2 - Choose something reflective of the brides personality. It is her party after all.
3 - Don't go with a theme that restricts your decor or creativity. (and obvious themes are a teensy bit tacky)
4 - Give the envelopes some lovin' too! Make the guests excited open them.
