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. Since most of the people then are illiterate, this was so much practical. Centuries later, members of the nobility used monks to write the invitations for their parties and they were delivered personally to the guests. Since the monks service is quite pricey, this was a way to show how affluent the family was. The practice of bridal showers then started during the Victorian Era. When lithography was invented also during this time, it was the start of invitations for all occasions and even bridal showers being printed. In the next century following the Victorian Era, bridal shower invitations were then engraved. This became the favorite of the nobility since it had the same handwritten look the monks used. Later on, cheaper printing became available through thermography. The people, not just the nobility and the elite, started using this kind of invitation not just for bridal shower but for other occasions. It became the start of mass produced bridal shower invitations. By this time it was already the modern era and the people begun imitating the nobles and the rich and famous bridal showers including their bridal shower invitations. The members of the elite then decided it was their responsibility to better educate the masses by sharing with them their expertise. 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. The host must have a traditional bridal shower invitation if they are having a traditional bridal shower. Of course there are also other showers, like theme bridal shower and the host might want to give such. So, for these bridal shower invitations, they also must have the theme. There is no longer a single rule that applies to these invitations. In fact, bridal shower invitations written by the host is now quite common. Cakes, chocolate and even candies invitations are now also being used. These days, the important thing is to have the same theme in the invitation so that they can have perfect invitations. In other words, the bridal shower invitations must reflect the style and theme of the bridal shower.
