Bridal Shower Invitation Templates

Bridal shower invitations carry practical information that the wedding invitation does not: the host's home address, the start time, and often a note about gifts or a theme. These layouts keep that detail legible instead of squeezing it into a corner.

The bouquet and wreath designs suit a garden or brunch setting; the mint and champagne layouts are cleaner and work well for an office or restaurant celebration. All four print as 5×7 cards.

A shower is normally held two to six weeks before the wedding, so these go out after the wedding invitations rather than with them - the full timeline explains where it sits.

Common questions

What is the difference between a bridal shower and a wedding shower?

In practice, very little - wedding shower is simply the broader term, used when guests of any gender are invited rather than only the bride's close circle. The invitation wording is the same either way.

How early should bridal shower invitations be sent?

Four to six weeks ahead. That is early enough for guests to plan around it, and late enough that the wedding date itself is already confirmed in everyone's diary.

Should gift or registry details go on the invitation?

Keep them off the main card. A small separate insert, or a single line at the bottom pointing to a registry link, reads better than putting gift instructions beside the bride's name.
