Cheap Unique Bridal Shower Invitations
It really can be done. All you need is a bit of imagination and some creativity as well. There are several different options available to you.
- Order cheap, custom invitations
- Print your own
- Buy pre-printed and dress them up
This article will discuss each option so you can decide for yourself the best way to get cheap, unique bridal shower invitations for your event.
Order Invitations
This is probably the simplest way to get invitations for your bridal shower. Be aware though, that many places offering “discount” invitations can still be very pricey. Shop around for the best price. When you are throwing a wedding shower, those few extra minutes comparing prices can save you a bundle.
One terrific place to order invitations is Vista Print. You can order custom printed invitations at an affordable price. For a truly unique bridal shower invitation, you can upload your own image for a small fee. If you’d prefer, you can use one of their custom templates and simply personalize the invitations for your party. Shipping is affordable as well and you can choose the shipping method that you prefer. Priority is faster, but of course more costly than standard. You decide what is best for you based on the time you have to get your invitations out.
Another great place to order from is Taylor Card Company. Simply choose your style and font. Then add some creative wording and they will create your custom invitations. You can even get your envelopes early so that you’ll have them addressed and ready to go when the invitations arrive without paying extra for shipping. If you have a hard time thinking of the right wording, go to the cute quotes page for ideas.
Print Your Own
With all the fun, creative computer programs available today, printing your own cheap, unique bridal shower invitations is easy. If you can't find a design you like, there are a few places that have more designs to choose from.
My Expressions has a large assortment of invitations that you can print with your own computer. Another option is to take your blank invitations to a print shop to have them customized.
Custom Creations also has a great selection of card stock so you can print your own invitations. In addition, they have custom candy bar wrappers as well. This is a really fun and unique way to invite your friends to a bridal shower, especially since they can eat the candy and still have the invitation! Custom Creations gives you the option of buying the wrapper alone so you can wrap your own Hershey bar. You can also buy the bar already wrapped with your customized wrapper.
Buy Pre-Printed
Any craft or department store has invitations in the card and stationary section. You don’t want generic looking invitations though, you want something unique. By using your imagination, you can have just that.
Here are some ways to dress up store bought invitations.
- Cut the edges with a craft scissors or boarder punch for a special touch
- Glue colored ribbon around the edges or tie ribbons from a hole punched in one corner
- Use watercolor paints in the brides wedding colors
- Use scrapbook findings like tiny starfish or shells to decorate to match the theme of your bridal shower
- Sprinkle with glitter or colored sand on clear glue
You can also make your own invitations based on the theme of the bridal shower. For example, a kitchen shower theme lends itself well to recipe card invitations. The possibilities are limited only by your own creativity. Have some fun with your invitations to set the tone for your special event.
