One of the more popular bridal shower styles in the last few years has been a warm weather, spring, summer or fall outdoor party in rustic style. While not really steampunk, it does blend well with a vintage- or steampunk-themed wedding. This wedding shower theme is easy to put together, enjoyable in good weather and can be used for a traditional female-only bridal shower, couples shower or I Do BBQ shower. And you can create this setting in just about any location including your own backyard which cuts down on the expense of hosting a party. To invite guests, there are several rustic wood and lights bridal shower invitations available that you can either print out at home on your own printer or have pre-printed and shipped to you. We have put together a selection of invitations for you to use for this rustic theme.
