If you are planning a wedding shower brunch for a special bride-to-be, and are not sure of what style the invitations should be, or of where you might get them from, this article is written for you.
Here are some ideas for styles to get you started:
Use the planned theme or color scheme of the upcoming wedding to inspire the shower invitations. For example, if the wedding will be held on a beach, you can get some fun casual invitations with a beach reference or picture.
Since the shower is named after rain, many wedding shower planners find that an umbrella motif or invitations and dcor that speaks of 'showers of happiness' is an appropriate and catchy theme.
If the shower is to be held during a specific season known for certain visuals, you may take your cue and have invitations to invoke the season, for example brightly colored fall leaves for an autumn shower.
As for sourcing wedding shower brunch invitations, you can get creative and don't always need to order them from a wedding invitation company, depending on how formal the brunch is to be. The following are possible alternatives:
Stationery store: Not only are these stores goldmines for both creative ideas as well as different colors and styles of paper and envelopes, many also carry actual shower and party invitations - you might find just the perfect invitation for a wedding shower brunch.
Printing company: Drop by your local printing and copying store. They carry lots of paper and many will have ideas to help. Quite a few also carry invitation books - like wallpaper books - that you can order a la carte from.
Internet: Try ebay or other online auctions, and try google, which will often bring up craigslist ads or others from people who have blank unused or bulk invitations to sell.
