Planning a Bridal Shower - Invitations and Stationery

Picking out the stationery is one of my favorite and most fun things to do when planning a bridal shower. Invitations should be sent out early to make attendees plan ahead of time. As much as possible, have some diary to write some notes and insights about the shower party. It is sometimes very hard to remember everything so write it down so you will not miss anything. If the wedding has a theme, then, make sure that the invitation for the shower party complements the theme of the wedding. Keep a list of invited guests.
