Shower Variants and Themes
Bridal showers come in many forms today. Every template in this collection can be customized for any of these variants by editing the title, theme details, and meal description:
Traditional bridal shower. The classic afternoon party with the bride, female friends, and family members. Usually held 4 to 6 weeks before the wedding.
Bridal brunch. A late-morning celebration with brunch food, mimosas, and a relaxed pace. Increasingly the preferred format for younger brides.
Bridal tea. A formal afternoon tea party with finger sandwiches, scones, and tea service. Popular for traditional and Southern weddings.
Couples shower (also called Jack and Jill shower). A modern co-ed celebration where the groom and his friends attend alongside the bride and her friends. Often held in the evening with cocktails and heavier food.
Themed showers. Stock the bar showers, recipe showers, lingerie showers, kitchen showers, and travel-themed showers. The invitation can specify the theme so guests know what to bring.
Who These Bridal Shower Invitations Are For
Most bridal shower invitations are purchased by the maid of honor, a bridesmaid, or a close family member of the bride who is hosting the shower. The bride does not typically buy her own shower invitation. If you are hosting on top of your other wedding-party duties, our templates are built to save you time. Pick a design, fill in the details (hostess names, date, venue, registry links, dress code), and download the print-ready PDF in 10 to 15 minutes. The editable text means you can include all the practical information guests need without designing from scratch or paying a custom designer for a single-use piece.
How to Use Your Bridal Shower Invitation
Pick a design that matches the bride's wedding aesthetic. Filter by style above (Minimalist, Floral, Boho, Classic, or Rustic), or coordinate with the bride to match her main wedding suite if you want a unified look across all the bride's events.
Open the template in our free browser-based editor. Edit the bride's name, the shower date and time, venue address, registry links, RSVP contact, and any dress code or theme details.
Add the hostess names at the bottom of the invitation. If multiple bridesmaids are co-hosting, list all hostess names in the format "Hosted by [name], [name], and [name]".
Pull color codes from the bride's main wedding palette so the shower invitation feels like part of the wedding journey, not a one-off.
Choose your size (5x7 card or 4x6 postcard for casual showers) and download the print-ready PDF.
Print on cardstock at home, send the file to a local print shop, or use any online printer. For digital-only showers, share the PDF or a JPEG export by text or email. Mail or send 4 to 6 weeks before the shower date.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should bridal shower invitations be sent?
Send bridal shower invitations 4 to 6 weeks before the shower date. The shower itself is typically held 4 to 8 weeks before the wedding, which means shower invitations go out roughly 2 to 4 months before the wedding. For showers with out-of-town guests or destination showers, send invitations 6 to 8 weeks in advance to allow time for travel arrangements.
What should a bridal shower invitation say?
A bridal shower invitation should include the bride's name (and the groom's name for couples showers), the date and start time, the venue name and address, the hostess names (Hosted by [name]), the RSVP contact and deadline, registry information (often listed as a website URL or store names), and any theme or dress code details. Keep the wording warm and friendly. Unlike formal wedding invitations, bridal showers are casual celebrations and the invitation tone can match.
Who hosts a bridal shower and pays for the invitations?
The maid of honor and bridesmaids traditionally host the bridal shower and split the cost of invitations, food, venue, and decor. Sometimes the bride's mother, future mother-in-law, or close family members co-host. The bride does not pay for or host her own shower. If multiple people are co-hosting, list all hostess names on the invitation. The cost of template-based invitations stays low (under $25 for the editable file), which keeps the shower budget manageable when split across hostesses.
Should I include registry information on a bridal shower invitation?
Yes. Registry information is appropriate and expected on a bridal shower invitation, unlike a wedding invitation where registry info traditionally goes on a separate insert. List the registry as a website URL or store names at the bottom of the invitation, separately from the formal event details. For example: "Registered at [Store 1], [Store 2], and [website]." If the bride has a wedding website, the URL alone often works since most websites list all registries in one place.
What size are bridal shower invitations?
The standard bridal shower invitation size is 5x7 inches, which fits a standard A7 envelope and feels appropriately formal. For casual showers, 4x6 inch postcards work well and reduce postage costs since postcards mail at lower rates than letter-size envelopes. Both sizes are available for every template in this collection.
Can I send bridal shower invitations digitally?
Yes. Every template downloads as a print-ready PDF that you can also export as a JPEG or PNG image to share by text, email, or social media direct message. Digital bridal shower invitations are increasingly common because they are free to send (no printing or postage), easy to share with out-of-town guests, and let you include clickable links to the registry and RSVP form. Many hosts send digital invitations for the bachelorette and bridal shower while reserving paper invitations for the formal wedding invitation.
