Bachelorette Party Email Invitations (2024 Guide)

If you are in charge of the planning process, then you know you have to pick the bachelorette party invitations. While this may seem like an easy step, it is actually one of the more stressful parts of bachelorette party planning. That is because the invitations help set the tone for the party. You want them to be informative without being too wordy, enticing, and let the guests know what kind of party to expect. You also want them to be visually appealing, fun, and tell a little about the bride. When you think about it, that is an awful lot to ask for from an invitation, but we can help you find it. One way to make the invitation process easier is to choose electronic or email invitations. Using these invitations helps you manage your guest list, keep track of RSVPs, and send reminders or updates to everyone on your guest list. Because electronic invitations offer all of these advantages, we are happy to eschew tradition and embrace the technology age by foregoing paper invites.

Are Electronic Invitations Right for Your Bachelorette Party?

We firmly believe that, in almost every scenario, electronic bachelorette party invitations are the way to go. They are usually free, they let you remind people to RSVP, you only need email addresses, Facebook contact, or cell phone numbers to send them, and you can send updates to your guests. For the purposes of planning bachelorette parties, you literally could not ask for more. Unless the bride hates them. Some brides would be broken-hearted if you sent out email invitations. It might seem silly to you, but you gotta deal with the bride you have, not the bride you want. If you are planning the ultimate party for your bestie for the restie and her heart is set on some adorbs paper invites, then, we hate to break it to you, you are going to have to suck it up and send out paper invites. However, do not let that break your heart. You can always send out an electronic save-the-date, or a similarly themed reminder after you have sent the paper invites, so that you can have all of the advantages of an electronic invitation, while still giving the bride what she wants!

Where to Get Them

When you hear the words “electronic invitation,” you almost certainly think of Evite. This industry powerhouse has cornered the market on paperless invitations and offers some of the best guest-list and party management tools out there in the electronic invitation marketplace. However, they do not always have the style that you want. By expanding your horizons, you might be able to find an invitation that is even more perfect for your party at a site like Paperless Post, Green Envelope, or Minted.

To help you with your process, we have selected some of our very favorite bachelorette party invitations from each of these sites, and are also providing templates so that you know exactly what information you need to use each of these services.

Minted

Minted is a very well-known source for paper invitations and it has recently entered the online invitation department. Sometimes their invitations are free, sometimes they come with a price tag, but they are always more affordable than paper options. What we love about Minted is that it really helps you customize invitations for your party. When you go to design your invitations, you are given a menu screen that looks like this:

You are given the option of picking a theme, a style, a color, and a shape for the invitations, which can help you narrow down the selection process.

Minted offers frequent new designs; sells party décor and thank you notes that match their online invitations; has guest management software that lets you track RSVPs, poll guests, and send guest updates; lets you integrate your email invite guest list with any existing Minted guest lists; and offers plenty of opportunities for personalization including using personalized photos in your invitations.

We love these rustic Mason jar invitations, which are perfect for the bride planning a country-themed wedding or for a destination bachelorette party that is out in the country, in Nashville, or even in Austin:

For a brunch, we love the simple lines of this cocktail-themed invitation:

This highly personalizable girls’ getaway invitation has plenty of room for you to include all of the details that you need for a destination bachelorette party invitation:

When using Minted, the information you need is going to depend on the invitation style that you selected, because some invitations have spaces for information that other invitations do not have. We are using a destination bachelorette party invitation for our how-to, because it is a pretty thorough example. However, if you look at the Mason Jar invitation that we included above, you will notice a space for the groom-to-be’s name. So, just be aware that you may need additional information when creating your special invitation.

Once you have selected your invitation and opted to personalize it, you will see a screen that gives you more personalization options:

After picking your color scheme and shape, you will be asked to select a background:

For some backgrounds, you may be given the opportunity to upload a photo, but that step is optional.

Next, you will be asked to put in your event details. You may be asked for details that do not appear on the invitation; go ahead and enter any details you want the guests to have:

 

Paperless Post

Paperless Post is one of our very favorite sources for electronic bachelorette party invitations because we love their designs. The offer flyers and cards, and each of them have some of their own unique elements. Flyers are a little less formal and may have .gifs, moving parts, and seem a bit more whimsical. Cards come in envelopes and have a better RSVP tracking system. There are also price differences, as Paperless Post does charge for some of its email invitations.

When you visit their bachelorette party invitation site, you see a welcome screen that will look something like this:

Rather than providing you with a menu to personalize your invitations, you simply scroll down or to the side to see more options for both flyers and cards.

We love this Bewitching Flyer design:

This card is perfect for a girls’ trip to Vegas or even Nashville:

How about brunch and a spa day?

For a destination bachelorette party to just about anywhere:

Once you have selected the invitation you want to send, it is time to personalize it.

First, you get the option to choose a custom background:

Then, you get to edit the text on your invitation. A menu on the left lets you change the typeface, formatting, and color of the text. To change the text, itself, you actually move over to the invitation and type in the text box. This is different from the other services we highlight, which provide you with fill-in-the-blank information spots. It allows a higher degree of customization for the user, but is also a little bit more difficult to use:

Then, you get to pick your envelope liner:

And your envelope front. Don’t forget to pick an adorable stamp to go on the front:

Pick your reply card options. Paperless Post lets you pick from invitation with RSVP, greeting card, save-the-date, announcement, and a card with a website link:

At the bottom of that page, you will see a drop-down box that offers you advanced options. You can choose whether to resend cards, add music to the cards, add links to external websites, add a photo gallery, add attachments, make the card shareable, add gift registries, include other languages, or change the mailing type:

After you have completed your invitation, you can customize your RSVP page. Notice that it gives you the option of collecting payment, which can come in very handy if you are planning a destination bachelorette party where you need people to have travel funds to you by a certain date:
