Bridal Shower Invitation Wording: Hearts N' Flowers Are Perfect for Showers

Linda Louise Johnson
Bridal shower invitation wording can be as creative as you like, and Emily Post won't even get upset.To get started, why not have a themed shower? A garden shower, a lingerie shower, a gourmet shower, even a handyman honey-do shower. Themes open up a world of clever bridal shower invitations and wording, and they also let you target gift areas the bride and groom really need.

Basic Wording for a Bridal Shower Invitation

The basic "You are invited to a bridal shower
for (Heather Happy )
on (Saturday, May 8, 2XXX at 4:30 p.m).
at Mary Lou Friend's,
(address)
RSVP by (date and phone number and email)
is all that is really required. But why not include some creative touches? And don't forget to mention whether or not the shower is a surprise.

How about poetic wording for a Hearts n' Flowers Bridal Shower Invitation?

This is a perfect theme for a lingerie shower. Have the bride register her favorites at lingerie shops and departments, then invite everyone to the bridal shower with invitation wording such as:

Baby doll pjs, hearts and flowers,
slinky peignoirs, nightgowns too,
dainty things for a bridal shower
and an invitation just for you.

We're having a lingerie bridal shower

RSVP by (date and phone number and email)

Wording for a Gourmet Cook's Bridal Shower Invitation

She doesn't have to be Julia Child to appreciate some expert cooking tools and recipes. How about bridal shower invitation wording like this:

It takes a whole lot of love, and a little spice
to make a marriage really nice
Ideas for dinner, cookbooks and dishes
pots and pans and all our good wishes.

at Mary Lou Friend's,
(address)
RSVP by (date and phone number and email)

Wording for a Garden Party Bridal Shower Invitation:

Couples who have never had a yard, or garden, or even a place to plant posies, could use some ideas, some gardening tools and some know how. How about a clever bridal shower invitation that includes a packet of seeds and a little verse:

A garden like a marriage needs lots of love
Flower pots and blossoms, gardening gloves
Trowels and trellises, watering cans
are all a part of our blooming plan

It's a Garden Bridal Shower for
Heather Happy
on Saturday, May 8, 2XXX at 4:30 p.m.
at Mary Lou Friend's,
(address)
RSVP by (date and phone number and email)

A Honey-Do Couple's Bridal Shower Invitation Wording:

He didn't need a Helpful Hubby Tool Kit in that little apartment, but he needs one now, and she could use some basics too.

He needs a hammer, she needs some nails
He wants a tool kit, she, a gardening pail
They need drills and tools with lots of power
so we're having a bride and groom "honey-do" shower

for Jim Jubilant and Heather Happy (bride and groom)
on Saturday, May 8, 2XXX at 4:30 p.m.
at Mary Lou Friend's,
(address)
RSVP by (date and phone number and email)

    The only type of showers I participate in anymore is in a bathroom. Good ideas, though. I'll pass it along.

    I'm using my sister's tiny netbook (on which I cannot type, but bhunting and pecking as it is so tiny) to do some quick commenting and spread PV love while my computer is "sick."
