Step 1
Determine how much money you have to spend on supplies for the fun bridal shower invitations and how much time you have to complete the cards before you choose an unusual design. Save money by buying blank cards and envelopes in bulk at the craft store or by purchasing cardstock, adhesives and embellishments like stickers or glitter at the dollar store.

Step 2
Save time by asking friends and family to do some of the legwork. If you’re creating meaningful bridal shower invitations that feature a collage of photos of the bride-to-be from childhood to the present, for example, ask family members to donate favorite photos so you won’t have to find and print the images yourself. Use the pictures to create a collage, and then make color copies of the artwork to attach to inexpensive blank cards.

Step 3
Make fun bridal shower invitations using images that suit the bride-to-be’s hobbies and favorites instead of traditional motifs like a wedding cake or a cluster of hearts. If the bride loves to scuba dive, for example, create shower invitations shaped like scuba masks with a tagline like, “Dive into Susan’s Bridal Shower!” If the guest of honor has a sweet tooth, print the shower details such as the time, date, location and RSVP information like the hostess’ name, phone number and deadline for replies on decorative paper that you can wrap around a candy bar.

Step 4
Skip the cards completely if you don’t mind the added mailing cost and affix the details to a dimensional object that reflects the party theme. When hosting a kitchen shower, for example, print the information on a piece of cardstock and affix it to a small kitchen gadget. If you’re organizing a bridal tea party, add the details to a colorful shipping tag and tie it to a tea bag or spoon.
