If you want to have a perfect bridal shower, you must not forget that you must also have that perfect bridal shower invitation. During the Middle Ages, there were town criers inviting the people to the parties and other events. This is so much practical then since the majority of people were illiterate. After several centuries, the invitations of the nobility were then written by the monks and were served personally to the guests. This was the familys way of showing how wealthy they are since the payment for the monks were quite high. The practice of bridal showers then started during the Victorian Era. When lithography was invented, also during this time, invitations for all occasions even for bridal showers were then printed in similar way we have today. In the next century following the Victorian Era, bridal shower invitations were then engraved. It became the nobilitys favorite since it had the same handwritten style of the monks. Later on, cheaper printing became available through thermography. This type of invitation, for bridal shower and other occasions, was then used by everybody, not just the elite and the members of the nobility. It was then the beginning of mass produced invitations. Since it was already the modern times, the masses started imitating the bridal showers of the nobles and the rich and famous, and this included the bridal shower invitations. For their part, the elite took it upon themselves to share their expertise with the masses. Emily Post and Amy Vanderbilt even wrote books on etiquette which included the proper way of addressing invitations.
Nowadays, everybody knows that the style of the bridal shower, similar with the wedding invitation, must also be seen in the bridal shower invitation. If the bridal shower is traditional, then they must have the traditional bridal shower invitation. Then there are some hosts who want to give theme bridal shower. So, for these bridal shower invitations, they also must have the theme. There is no longer a single rule that applies to these invitations. It is now even common to see bridal shower invitations written by the host. There are even invitations in the form of cakes, chocolates and candies. These days, the important thing is to have the same theme in the invitation so that they can have perfect invitations. This means that the theme and style of the bridal shower must be reflected on the bridal shower invitations.
