DIY Bridal Shower Invitations You Can Design and Print From Home
Few celebrations are as joyful and love-filled as a bridal shower. Whether it’s a relaxed brunch or a glam evening affair, setting the tone with a beautifully designed invitation adds something special from the very start. Rather than settling for a generic template or hunting endlessly through online shops, you can create your own bridal shower invitations using BeFunky’s Graphic Designer. It’s quick, easy, and doesn’t require any design experience – just your vision and a few simple steps.
With professionally designed wedding templates, flexible tools, and plenty of creative freedom, it's easy to craft an invitation that feels personal, polished, and totally on theme.
What to Include on a Bridal Shower Invitation
Your bridal shower invitation should be both beautiful and practical – a card that excites guests while also giving them all the details they need. Here’s what to include:
- Name of the honoree: Use the bride-to-be’s full name for clarity
- Event date and time: Be sure to include the day of the week for easy planning
- Location: Whether it’s a venue or private home, include the full address
- Host(s): Let guests know who is organizing the shower
- RSVP details: Provide a name, contact method, and deadline
- Registry info (optional): A short line about where the bride is registered
- Theme or attire: If your shower has a special theme or dress code, mention it clearly
How to Design a Bridal Shower Invitation in BeFunky
BeFunky’s Graphic Designer makes it easy to create a unique bridal shower invitation that fits your style and budget. Here’s how to get started:
Step 1: Choose a Bridal Shower Template
Head to the Bridal Shower collection to browse all available templates. Don’t worry too much about the placeholder text or photos. Just look for a layout that matches your preferred aesthetic, whether that’s romantic, modern, minimalist, or bold.
Click on your chosen template, followed by Use This Template, to open it in the design canvas. This gives you a professional starting point with fonts, layouts, and visuals already in place.
Step 2: Add a Personal Photo
Want to include a photo of the bride, the couple, or an artistic backdrop? Head to the Image Manager to upload your own image and replace any placeholders in the template.
Including a photo can make the invitation feel more personal and unique – especially for small showers or events with close family and friends.
Step 3: Edit Details and Graphics
Now’s the time to tie your color palette into the graphics and text. If you’ve already chosen wedding colors, or if your shower has a theme, you can apply those colors to the invite to help build visual cohesion across your celebration.
Click into any of the text boxes to change the default text. Then, fill it out with all your important details – date, time, address, RSVP contact, registry info, and any dress code or theme notes. You can also head to the Text tab to add new text boxes to the template.
Next, it's time to customize any placeholder graphics. And to give your design even more personality, head to the Graphics tab and browse thousands of decorative assets. Adding just a few accents can really bring the whole design together.
Step 4: Save, Print, and Share
And just like that, you have a personalized bridal shower invitation that's ready for sharing! Once everything looks just right, click Save at the top of the canvas. Choose PDF for the highest print quality, especially if you’re printing at a local shop or ordering online. BeFunky designs can be sent directly to Zazzle, where you can select from premium paper finishes and envelope styles before ordering.
If you’re going the DIY route, print your invitation at home on cardstock and trim it to size. You can even use specialty paper or add embellishments like ribbon or envelope liners for a handmade touch.
Prefer to send it digitally? Just export as a PNG or JPG and share via email, text, or group chat.
3 Creative Bridal Shower Invite Ideas
Designing your own invitation means you’re not stuck with one look. Whether your bridal shower is formal or casual, here are three unique themes you can easily bring to life using BeFunky’s templates:
Modern Minimalist
For a sleek and stylish look, go for clean layouts, muted color palettes, and bold fonts. A minimalist design puts the focus on typography and layout – ideal for sophisticated celebrations with a more polished vibe.
Garden Party Glam
When it comes to wedding stationary, florals are timeless. Try pastel backgrounds, hand-drawn botanical graphics, and cursive fonts to capture the feeling of a springtime brunch or afternoon tea. These designs feel soft, feminine, and perfect for venues filled with fresh blooms.
Vintage Whimsy
Add a touch of nostalgia with soft textures, old-school fonts, and decorative borders. This theme blends cozy charm with personality, making it perfect for intimate gatherings or anything with a retro flair.
Make Your Bridal Celebration Unforgettable
A bridal shower is more than just a party – it’s a joyful celebration of love, friendship, and the exciting next chapter for the bride-to-be. The invitation sets the stage for that celebration, giving guests a first glimpse into the style, spirit, and significance of the event.
By designing invitations with BeFunky, you get complete creative control – all without needing advanced design skills or expensive tools.
