Gilded Frame Bridal Shower Invitations

Gilded frame bridal shower invitations for a formal afternoon. Triple Rule Frame encloses the card in three fine rules with ornate corners under "YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO A". Laurel Crest centers the bride's initial in a laurel wreath with a "BRIDAL SHOWER" ribbon banner. Arched Window sets the headline and the name inside a gilded arch with a keystone. The backs repeat the frame, the crest or the arch, with the details in small capitals. Pick Burgundy & Gold, Ivory & Gold, Navy & Silver, Sage & Ivory, Black & Gold, Champagne & Blush, Mauve & Champagne or Dusty Blue & Silver, type the details and print. The frames print in warm gold-toned ink in the gold palettes, and in silver-gray, sage or mauve in the others.

Hosting tip

A formal card sets a formal expectation, so match the wording to the event. "You are cordially invited" and "Afternoon tea will be served" tell guests to dress up and expect a seated tea; if the shower is actually a backyard buffet, a lighter note on the back saves anyone arriving in a hat to a cornhole game.

How it works

Details, wording, colors, download

Open any design above in the maker. Type the bride's name, the date and the place; the back repeats the frame and sets the details in small capitals, with one line for the registry, the attire or what will be served. These are made for good card stock: a smooth 110 lb ivory or cream sheet shows the fine lines best.

Pick one of the three palettes drawn for the design, then download a 5 x 7 PDF (front and back), a two-per-sheet letter PDF for home printing, print-shop PNGs with bleed, 4 x 6 PNGs for a photo counter, a phone-sized PNG to text or email, or a Word file. For more lines to put on the card, see the bridal shower invitation wording ideas and the etiquette guide.

Frequently asked questions

Can I put the bride's initial on the crest?

Yes. On Laurel Crest the initial in the wreath is live text: type her first or last initial, and the "BRIDAL SHOWER" ribbon stays as drawn.

Which frame is the most formal?

Triple Rule Frame, with "YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO A" and the sample note "Afternoon tea will be served" in Burgundy & Gold. Arched Window, in Champagne & Blush with "Garden luncheon", is the softer of the three.
