Bridal Shower Invitations

These cards do the first bit of celebrating for you. You set the size, the stock, the finish and the ink, and every choice shows up exactly the way you designed it. Want to see how bridal shower invitations sit next to the rest of the range? Browse every occasion on invitations printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.

The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 25 starts at $19.77, and the per-card cost keeps sliding as the count goes up, so mailing a larger guest list costs far less per card than a quick test batch. Tap any tier below to see the live set total and exactly how much each step up saves before you commit.

What Are Bridal Shower Invitations?

Bridal shower invitations are flat cards that announce the date, time, and location of a bridal shower. At 4OVER4 they print full color on one or both sides in 3 sizes, from 4.25 by 5.5 inch up to a 6 by 6 inch square, on any of 20 paper stocks, with the size, ink, finish, and rounded corners all set in the live configurator.

A bridal shower invitation is the first thing a guest sees, so it carries the theme before the party even starts. You print the date, time, and location on the front, add the RSVP line or registry note on the back, and hand your guests something that feels made for the bride. Set front-and-back printing (4/0, 4/1, or 4/4 ink), pick your stock, choose the size, round the corners if you want a softer edge, and the price updates live as you go. Once the shower is behind you, the Wedding Invitations handle the big day, and they build from the same options.

Bridal Shower Invitation Wording Examples

Eight wordings you can drop straight into the layout and swap the names on. Whichever tone you pick, keep five things on the card: who is being honored, who is hosting, the day and date, the start time and full address, and an RSVP name with a deadline.

• Classic. Please join us for a bridal shower honoring [Bride] on [Day, Date] at [Time], [Venue, Address]. Hosted by [Hosts]. RSVP to [Name] by [Date].
• Casual. [Bride] is getting married, so we are throwing her a shower. [Day, Date] at [Time], [Venue]. Come hungry, leave with cake. Tell [Name] you are in by [Date].
• Brunch. Bubbles and brunch for [Bride] before she says I do. [Day, Date] at [Time], [Venue, Address]. RSVP to [Name] at [Phone or email] by [Date].
• Couples shower. Bring your plus one. [Bride] and [Partner] are getting married and we are showering them both. [Day, Date] at [Time], [Venue]. RSVP by [Date].
• Surprise shower. It is a surprise for [Bride], so please arrive by [Time] on [Day, Date] at [Venue]. She arrives at [Time]. RSVP quietly to [Name] by [Date].
• Virtual shower. A bridal shower for [Bride], from wherever you are. [Day, Date] at [Time] [Time zone]. RSVP to [Name] by [Date] and the link comes to your inbox.
• Evening cocktails. Cocktails and a toast for [Bride] before the wedding. [Day, Date], [Time] until [Time], [Venue, Address]. RSVP to [Name] by [Date].
• Registry and gift lines. [Bride] and [Partner] are registered at [Store] and [Store]. Or: your company is the gift, but if you would like to bring something, a favorite recipe for the new kitchen is welcome.

Print the wording full color on the front with a blank or black back, or run full color on both sides and put the registry details, parking notes or the afternoon schedule on the reverse.

What Size Should a Bridal Shower Invitation Be?

4OVER4 bridal shower invitations come in 3 set sizes: 4.25 by 5.5 inch, 5 by 7 inch, and a 6 by 6 inch square, and you can also set a custom size up to 6 by 7 inch. You can round the corners at a 1/8 inch or 3/8 inch radius, or leave them square.

The right size comes down to how much you want to say and how you plan to send it. The 4.25 by 5.5 inch card is the classic mailer, compact and easy on postage. Step up to 5 by 7 inch when you want room for a photo, a map, and the full run of details without crowding. The 6 by 6 inch square reads almost like a keepsake and stands out in a stack of ordinary mail. Need something in between? Set a custom size anywhere up to 6 by 7 inch, and round the corners at a 1/8 inch or 3/8 inch radius for a softer look. All 3 sizes, both finishes, and the full stock list are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.

What Paper Stocks and Finishes Can You Choose?

4OVER4 offers 20 paper stocks for bridal shower invitations, from 14pt and 16pt gloss cover through uncoated and cream covers, kraft, a 16pt uncoated soft touch, white linen, metallic pearl in ice, champagne, silver, and gold, and a 24pt ultra thick gloss cover. Finish options are Standard or a High Gloss UV coating. Ink prints 4/0 front only, 4/1 front plus black back, or 4/4 full color on both sides.

The stock is where a bridal shower invitation earns its feel in the hand. Start with everyday 14pt or 16pt gloss cover for clean, bright color. Reach for kraft or cream uncoated when you want a natural, rustic look, or white linen for a woven texture you can feel. The metallic pearl stocks in ice, champagne, silver, and gold catch the light like foil without the foil price, and the 24pt ultra thick gloss cover gives the card a genuinely premium weight. For finishes you pick Standard or a High Gloss UV coating that makes a photo or a gold detail snap, and you set your ink coverage to 4/0, 4/1, or 4/4 depending on whether you print the back.

Papers, Metallics and Foil Look Finishes

The 20 stocks sort into four groups, and the group you pick changes how the card feels in the hand more than any design choice on the front.

• Plain and textured. Gloss and uncoated covers for clean color, cream for a warmer white, brown kraft for a rustic or garden shower, and a white linen whose woven tooth reads formal under printed script.
• Soft touch. A velvet, suede feel coating that mutes the ink very slightly and stays matte in the hand, so a minimal type only card still has something to it.
• Metallic pearl. Ice, champagne, silver and gold, with the shimmer in the sheet itself rather than pressed on top, which is the practical way to get a foil or glitter look without a separate foil run.
• 24pt ultra thick. The heaviest option here, with a visible edge you notice the moment the card comes out of the envelope.

Finish any of them plain or add a High Gloss UV Coating on the printed side for deeper color and a harder surface. If you want the metallic effect on a heavier card, compare metallic invitations and ultra thick metallic pearl invitations before you order.

Design it without a designer

You do not need a design background to make a bridal shower invitation look sharp. Start from a professionally built layout in our invitation design templates, then change the colors, copy and photo in the online editor in minutes. Pick a theme, drop in the details, and the design is ready to print.

Already have your artwork? Skip the editor and download a press-ready blank instead. Each blank bridal shower invitation template is built at the real trim size with the 1/8" bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so your design never crowds the cut. Grab the size that matches your order below, drop your art in, and upload.

How Much Do Bridal Shower Invitations Cost?

Bridal shower invitations start at $19.77 for 25, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 100,000 across 41 tiers, so a cheaper invitation really comes down to how big a run you order. A run of 700 is $106.55 and 6,000 run $238.14, which is where the per-card cost slides from about 79 cents down toward 4 cents. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the set total and the true per-card cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.

Price Per Card by Quantity

The smallest set, 25 cards, starts at $19.77, which works out to just under 80 cents a card. From there the pricing widget steps through 41 quantity tiers up to 100,000, and the per card figure falls at every step, so the cost of the run never climbs as fast as the count does.

A bridal shower guest list usually lands between 25 and 75 names, which sits inside the first few tiers. If your list is close to a tier boundary, set both quantities in the pricing widget and compare the totals before you order. Ordering the larger tier gives you spares for late additions, one card for the bride to keep, and a clean one to photograph for the album.

Can You Add Matching Envelopes and a Proof?

Every 4OVER4 bridal shower invitation order can include matching white wove envelopes, and you pick from 3 proof options: straight to production, a free online proof, or a next day hardcopy proof. Bundling keeps your cards sorted the way you want when they arrive.

An invitation is only finished when it is ready to mail, so you can add matching white wove envelopes right in the order and skip a second trip to the store. Before anything prints, choose how you want to check the work: go straight to production when you are confident in your file, take a free online proof to confirm layout and color on screen, or order a next day hardcopy proof to hold the real card in your hand first. You can also turn on bundling so the finished invitations arrive grouped the way you plan to hand them out or stuff them into envelopes.

How Do Bridal Shower Invitations Compare to the Rest of the Range?

Bridal shower invitations are the value pick for a celebration mailer, but they are not your only move. If you are also planning the engagement, the wedding, or a shower for the baby that follows, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up bridal shower invitations against their closest siblings, from Engagement Party Invitations to Wedding Invitations and Baby Shower Invitations, so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

How Fast Can You Get Bridal Shower Invitations Printed?

Bridal shower invitations print on a 3 business day standard turnaround, and when a date sneaks up you can move that to 2-day, Next-Day or even Same-Day production. Each step buys back time for a set percentage on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Same Day orders need to be approved by noon EST to ship that day, and 99.8% of 4OVER4 orders land on time with 82% shipping early. Compare every turnaround tier below and see exactly what the rush adds before you pick.
