Theme

• Choosing a theme and incorporating it into your bridal shower invitation cards is a creative way to get guests excited about the upcoming event. Consider the location of the bridal shower, such as a beach or park, and make cards that give the guests clues to where it will be held to help them prepare. If the bridal shower has a consistent theme or recurring motif, decorate your cards accordingly. Rubber stamps and patterned paper are useful ideas to reflect themes and motifs. Alternatively, decorate your bridal shower invitation cards according to the season using seasonal colors and motifs, such as warm colors for autumn or a blossoming bouquet of flowers for spring.
  
  

Collage

• Making a collage to put on the front of the card is a fun and personal idea for bridal shower invitations. There are lots of things that you can use to create your collage, including photographs, meaningful images, and written words and images cut out from magazines. Scan the decided arrangement of images and words into your computer and adjust as desired before printing off and sticking to your card. You could make your card stand out by gluing seeds, pressed flowers or pressed leaves onto your collage.
  
  

Calligraphy, Stencils and Stamps

• Calligraphy, stencils or stamps can be used to make charming homemade bridal shower invitation cards. If you know how to write using calligraphy and you have a steady hand, use it embellish the writing you include. Stencils are useful tools to use if you are not confident enough to use your own handwriting or do not know how to write using calligraphy. Alternatively, search craft stores for rubber stamps that reflect the theme and use them to create interesting invitations.
  
  

Ribbons and Lace

• Decorating with lace or ribbon adds a pretty finishing touch to your bridal shower invitation cards. If the wedding or the bridal shower has a theme, such as a specific color or recurring pattern, choose ribbon or lace that links in with it. Attach the ribbon to your card by punching holes, either down the side of the card or along the top, and threading your ribbon through. Alternatively, you can tie a bow in your lace or ribbon and stick it onto the card.
