Invite wording help please!
I've shared before that I'm the MOH in my cousin's wedding at the beginning of September. The night before the wedding, one of the other bridesmaids and I (we're both cousins of the bride and eachother, not that it matters) are hosting a Lingerie/Personal Shower for the bride. This is not a surprise (wanted to make sure it was okay with her), and will be held at the bride's parents' house. We are having it there because the majority of the bridal party lives out of town. The rest live in tiny apartments, plus the bride's parents' have a large deck and a pool and hot tub.
So, anyway, I'm trying to figure out a cute invitation wording and am coming up with nothing. I definitely want them to RSVP so we have enough alcohol and food, but want to keep it as fun and casual as possible.
TIA!
ETA: I forgot to ask one more thing. If the rehearsal dinner is at 7 and approximately 5 minutes from the shower location, what time would you make the shower?
Re: Invite wording help please!
What will you all be doing at the shower?
Bride opening lingerie gifts? Eating/Drinking? Swimming? (this might help with wording suggestions) I'd be happy to help!
Has everyone already saved the date? The begining of Sept is next week.
How about something like:
A Blushing Bride Shower
You're invited to a ladies only shower in honor of ____. Please bring a gift that will be sure to make her blush and will make her new husband smile.
Location: 123 Main St (bride's parents - but don't worry, they won't be there!)
Time:
Etc (i.e. if they should bring a suit)
Sorry I guess I should've answered these questions sooner.
At the shower, the bride will be opening lingerie/sexy gifts. There will be light apps/snacks (most of us will have just come from the rehearsal dinner). If it's warm enough during the day (the pool has a solar heater), there will be swimming. Either way, the hot tub will be available for use. Mostly, it's just a chance for us girls to get together one more time before the wedding to spoil the bride.
I guess I shouldn't say it's the beginning of September. It's actually going to the day before the wedding, September 8 (the wedding is September 9). Most invitees are wedding party members, so we will be coming for the rehearsal dinner. The others invited are going to be in town for the wedding.
I like that! Thanks!
I think is this is really cute too.
You could also do a play on words with Bubbly & Bubbles - if you'll be serving champagne and people will be getting in the hot tub. I think it's important you note all the things that people need to bring so they know what to expect.
The Bubbly Bride
Join us in honoring the Jane with some Bubbly & Bubbles.
Please bring a lingerie for the bride and a swimsuit for yourself.
She'll be opening gifts and we'll all be enjoying the pool & hot tub.
Drinks and snacks will be served.
Where: Doe House
When: Immediately following the wedding rehearsal
HTH!
I like that one too!
