Bridal Showers Need Invitations, Too!

I always have a ton of fun at bridal showers, but hear they can be kind of stressful to put together if you are the hostess (or host!). The first step in lessening your stress is to get invitations!

Search around your town for local letterpress wedding invitation printers. Chances are they will have a great deal to offer you, and you may be able to match bridal shower invites with the bride’s letterpress wedding invitation design!

Depending on how formal of a bridal shower you are throwing, don’t forget place cards for the tables and “thank you” notes for the guests. People recognize the little details, and your delightful touches as a stress-free hostess will not go unnoticed!

Multilingual Messages are the Way to Go!

Lets face it brides, 21^st century families are very diverse. That is why when it comes to your wedding, choosing bilingual letterpress wedding invitations design is an important first step in the wedding planning process. Bilingual wedding invitations designs, be they printed with letterpress, digital or offset, ensure that all of your wedding guests are granted an equal opportunity to be excited and informed of your wedding ceremony details.

For brides with families or wedding guests that predominately speak or read a language other than English (Spanish, Hindi, Vietnamese, Italian etc.) it is important to provide a bilingual wedding invitation so that everyone gets a chance to learn about the good news.

There are two different ways to make a bilingual wedding invitation.

The most common way to make a bilingual wedding invitation is to print one invite card with both languages on it. This way everyone gets the same material and you do not have the chances of mixing up one invitation with the other.

The second way is to print two different wedding invitations, each in their respective languages. Then you decide which guests should receive what languages and you address and stuff you envelopes accordingly.

Whatever way you decide to print your wedding invitations, make sure think about your guest’s needs. If a bilingual wedding invitation is the only way some of your guests will be able to read your exciting announcement, then I strongly urge you to consider these options.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about bilingual wedding invitations.

“Again, I really appreciate the assistance with all the language details. Your company’s customer service is fantastic!!!” ~ Maria

We recently sent some of our letterpress wedding invitation designs to our friend Lisa Nelson at Elegant Event Planning & Design. We thought she just wanted some samples to show to her clients, but little did we know she was going to make a movie and feature our letterpress wedding invitation designs on her video!

While I could try and add something to Lisa’s comments, she eloquently stated what I feel to be the most important ideas surrounding letterpress wedding invitations:

“I think invitations are very important because they are your guests first impression of your wedding. They should represent the style, theme and formality of your event. Letterpress is a perfect choice for many reasons, its understated elegance…many couples share my sentiments but are put off by the price…I have the perfect solution!”

Our *LIMITED TIME* special on Letterpress Wedding Invitation designs.

Thanks again Lisa for making a movie about us. And good luck with all your spring wedding planning preparations!
