Don’t forget the food on your bridal invitations!
The maid of honor is the
person that throws the bridal shower for the bride, the
problem with this tradition is that the maid of honor has so
many responsibilities that they tend to forget things – like
mentioning the food on the bridal invitations, in this
article we will outline some ways to avoid this mistake!
One thing that will really help the maid of honor out when
it comes to the bridal invitations is having a ‘bridal
invitation party’. This is where each and every member of
the wedding party show up (or at least the brides maids) to
assist the maid of honor in printing out (if you are taking
that route) or filling out the bridal invitations, stuffing
them in envelopes, labeling them and finally stamping each
and every one so they can be mailed out the next day. If you
throw a ‘bridal invitation party’ then there will be
multiple eyes on the bridal invitations so there is no way
to miss the fact that no food is mentions on the bridal
invites.
Now, when we say do not forget to mention the food on the
bridal invitations, we do not expect you to print off the
entire menu for the guests, just a little preview of the
menu printed on the bridal invitations would be acceptable
and all around a great idea. This will prevent the guests
from bringing their own food unless specified in the bridal
invitation. Also, a preview of what is on the menu for the
bridal shower will probably increase the RSVP response and
more people will show up.
If you are having a light an airy menu and not serving a
whole lot of filling foods, that should be mentioned on the
bridal invitations so people are not expecting to get full
from the bridal shower. For example, you could add something
like ‘appetizers only will be served, along with lots of
drinks!’, this will make it seem like you are looking out
for the guests well-being and that they should probably eat
before-hand.
Now if you are serving a lot of very filling food, you want
to include this in the bridal invitations, this way you can
warn the guests not to eat before-hand because there will be
a lot of food for them to get full from.
Now that you have all the tips and tricks for not forgetting
to add the menu onto the bridal invitations, do not forget
them – just throw a bridal invitation party and have the
bridal party assist with the bridal invitations, include
some details about the menu and warn people whether they
should or should not eat before the bridal shower and you
should be good!
