Orange Wedding Shower Invitations

The wedding shower invitation cards come in a wide variety of designs, patterns, color combinations, sizes and shapes and can be purchased directly from online manufacturers or, if the number of the guests is limited, test your creativity and artistic skills as a host and make the invitations yourself. Of course, the first option of buying the invitations by ordering them from the internet might seem less stressful and way faster, and the best thing about it is the fact that you can find some rather one-of-a-kind and unique invitations. The same online manufacturers give an alternative to personalize your own wedding invitations just to be sure they are as unique as they can get.




The wedding shower is a gift-giving party, organized for the future bride and groom, sometimes only for the bride, a bridal shower, or only for the groom, by close relatives or friends, in anticipation for their wedding day. The shower party is also seen as the best method to celebrate the last days of bachelorhood and the upcoming big event, the wedding.

The patterns for the wedding invitation cards are plenty but is seems that the floral and abstract pattern is one of the most popular ones, especially when a raised pattern effect is obtained with the help of thermography; since its discovery, thermography still remains the fastest and cheapest method of printing the invitations. The alternative is the classical method of writing by hand the invitation text, but it is expensive and if you are planning not to write them yourself, it may also take a while to receive them from the manufacturers.

These wedding shower invitations must contain the basic information about the shower party such as the name of the bride and groom, details about the location of the party, the address, even some directional signs, the time and date, the theme of the shower or gifts: lingerie shower, garden shower, love gifts, etc.; where the bride is registered, the date of the wedding and last but not least, always mention to your guests if the organized party is a surprise and at about what time the bride and groom or only the bride, will be arriving.

The wording used for the wedding shower invitation is less formal than the one for the wedding invitations so the hosts or the ones that issue the invitations can be creative with words and use a less formal approach to make the inviting.

It is necessary to add an RSVP, an abbreviation from the French “répondez s’il vous plait”, translated as “please respond”, because the planning of a wedding shower party may very well depend on the attendance responses and the number of guests giving an affirmative reply. If the hosts are expecting only the non-attendance responses, they might as well write the expression “Regrets Only” instead of an RSVP, and add a phone number for contact.

The colors and designs of the wedding shower invitations can be selected depending on the theme of the shower party, and if you would like not to make a clear suggestion about what is that theme you can give your guests a hint about what they should expect from such an event.

Choosing the right color for the wedding shower invitation might seen like a hard task but all you have to do is reflect on the potential meaning and significance of that particular color and match it with the selected shower party theme.

The colors can be chosen depending on their symbolism and significance. The orange color is a bright and joyful color and is often associated with summer and the warm season of the year.

Different cultures associate a particular color with a different meaning and this is the exact case with orange.

The Amerindians associate this color with kinship while in Christian belief orange is the color of “gluttony”. Many western royal families such as the house of Netherlands are associated with this bright color. In Hindu culture, orange is the color of Svadhisthana, the second chakra, also known as the Sacral Chakra, associated with the reproductive system by stimulating emotions and the sexuality, creativity and fertility while in the Chinese and Japanese cultures, orange symbolizes love and happiness.

These significances make orange just the perfect color for a wedding shower invitation, especially if you are planning the shower party in the summer time.
