Bridal Shower Invitations

You choose the size, the stock, the finish and the ink, and the proof shows the card before it runs. Engagement, wedding and baby shower invitations share invitations printing with this card.

A shower list of 25 to 75 names fits in the first tiers, from $19.77 for 25. The price per card keeps falling at every step, so ordering a little over the list for late additions costs little.

What Are Bridal Shower Invitations

A bridal shower invitation is a flat card with the date, time and place of the shower. You can print it full color on one or both sides, in 3 sizes from 4.25 by 5.5 inch to a 6 by 6 inch square, on any of 20 paper stocks, and set the size, ink, finish and rounded corners in the live configurator.

The front carries the date, time and location in the shower's theme; the back takes the RSVP line or a registry note. Set the ink to 4/0, 4/1 or 4/4, pick the stock and size, round the corners if you want a softer edge, and the price updates as you go. Once the shower is behind you, the Wedding Invitations handle the big day, and they build from the same options.

Bridal Shower Invitation Wording Examples

Eight wordings you can drop straight into the layout and swap the names on. Whichever tone you pick, keep five things on the card: who is being honored, who is hosting, the day and date, the start time and full address, and an RSVP name with a deadline.

• Classic. Please join us for a bridal shower honoring [Bride] on [Day, Date] at [Time], [Venue, Address]. Hosted by [Hosts]. RSVP to [Name] by [Date].
• Casual. [Bride] is getting married, so we are throwing her a shower. [Day, Date] at [Time], [Venue]. Come hungry, leave with cake. Tell [Name] you are in by [Date].
• Brunch. Bubbles and brunch for [Bride] before she says I do. [Day, Date] at [Time], [Venue, Address]. RSVP to [Name] at [Phone or email] by [Date].
• Couples shower. Bring your plus one. [Bride] and [Partner] are getting married and we are showering them both. [Day, Date] at [Time], [Venue]. RSVP by [Date].
• Surprise shower. It is a surprise for [Bride], so please arrive by [Time] on [Day, Date] at [Venue]. She arrives at [Time]. RSVP quietly to [Name] by [Date].
• Virtual shower. A bridal shower for [Bride], from wherever you are. [Day, Date] at [Time] [Time zone]. RSVP to [Name] by [Date] and the link comes to your inbox.
• Evening cocktails. Cocktails and a toast for [Bride] before the wedding. [Day, Date], [Time] until [Time], [Venue, Address]. RSVP to [Name] by [Date].
• Registry and gift lines. [Bride] and [Partner] are registered at [Store] and [Store]. Or: your company is the gift, but if you would like to bring something, a favorite recipe for the new kitchen is welcome.

Print the wording full color on the front with a blank or black back, or run full color on both sides and put the registry details, parking notes or the afternoon schedule on the reverse.

What Size Should a Bridal Shower Invitation Be

There are 3 set sizes, 4.25 by 5.5 inch, 5 by 7 inch and a 6 by 6 inch square, plus a custom size up to 6 by 7 inch. Corners come square or rounded at a 1/8 inch or 3/8 inch radius.

Pick by what goes on the card and how it travels. The 4.25 by 5.5 inch card is the classic mailer, compact and easy on postage. The 5 by 7 inch holds a photo, a map and every detail without crowding. The 6 by 6 inch square looks like a keepsake in a stack of mail. For a size in between, set a custom size up to 6 by 7 inch and round the corners at a 1/8 inch or 3/8 inch radius. The specs below list all 3 sizes, both finishes and every stock the way the configurator groups them.

What Paper Stocks and Finishes Can You Choose

Bridal shower invitations come on 20 paper stocks: 14pt and 16pt gloss cover, uncoated and cream covers, kraft, a 16pt uncoated soft touch, white linen, metallic pearl in ice, champagne, silver and gold, and a 24pt ultra thick gloss cover. Finish them Standard or with a High Gloss UV coating, and print 4/0 front only, 4/1 front plus black back, or 4/4 full color on both sides.

For clean, bright color, the everyday 14pt or 16pt gloss cover does the job. Kraft or cream uncoated gives a garden or rustic shower a natural look, and white linen adds a woven texture. The metallic pearl stocks in ice, champagne, silver and gold carry the shimmer in the sheet, and the 24pt ultra thick gloss cover has real weight. Add a High Gloss UV coating to bring up a photo or a gold detail, and set the ink to 4/0, 4/1 or 4/4 depending on the back.

Papers, Metallics and Foil Look Finishes

The 20 stocks sort into four groups, and the group you pick changes how the card feels in the hand more than any design choice on the front.

• Plain and textured. Gloss and uncoated covers for clean color, cream for a warmer white, brown kraft for a rustic or garden shower, and a white linen whose woven tooth reads formal under printed script.
• Soft touch. A velvet, suede feel coating that mutes the ink very slightly and stays matte in the hand, so a minimal type only card still has something to it.
• Metallic pearl. Ice, champagne, silver and gold, with the shimmer in the sheet itself rather than pressed on top, which is the practical way to get a foil or glitter look without a separate foil run.
• 24pt ultra thick. The heaviest option here, with a visible edge you notice the moment the card comes out of the envelope.

Finish any of them plain or add a High Gloss UV Coating on the printed side for deeper color and a harder surface. If you want the metallic effect on a heavier card, compare metallic invitations and ultra thick metallic pearl invitations before you order.

Design it without a designer

Start from a professionally built layout in our invitation design templates, then change the colors, copy and photo in the online editor. Paste one of the wordings above, swap the names, and the card is ready for the proof.

Each blank bridal shower invitation template is built at the real trim size with the 1/8" bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so your design never crowds the cut. Grab the size that matches your order below, drop your art in, and upload.

How Much Do Bridal Shower Invitations Cost

Across 41 tiers from $19.77 for 25 to 100,000, the price per card slides from about 79 cents toward 4 cents: 700 cards cost $106.55 and 6,000 cost $238.14. Put your guest count into the slider below for its total.

Price Per Card by Quantity

The smallest set, 25 cards, starts at $19.77, which works out to just under 80 cents a card. From there the pricing widget steps through 41 quantity tiers up to 100,000, and the per card figure falls at every step, so the cost of the run never climbs as fast as the count does.

A bridal shower guest list usually lands between 25 and 75 names, which sits inside the first few tiers. If your list is close to a tier boundary, set both quantities in the pricing widget and compare the totals before you order. Ordering the larger tier gives you spares for late additions, one card for the bride to keep, and a clean one to photograph for the album.

Can You Add Matching Envelopes and a Proof

Every 4OVER4 bridal shower invitation order can include matching white wove envelopes, and you pick from 3 proof options: straight to production, a free online proof, or a next day hardcopy proof. Turn on bundling and the cards arrive in stacks sorted your way.

Add the matching white wove envelopes in the same order and the invitations arrive ready to address and mail. Before anything prints, choose how you want to check the work: go straight to production when you are confident in your file, take a free online proof to confirm layout and color on screen, or order a next day hardcopy proof to hold the real card in your hand first. With bundling on, the finished invitations arrive grouped by host or by table, however you plan to stuff them.
