even the most seasoned party goer.

Invitation for a Bridal Shower
For this bridal shower Nik's train of thought took
a literal bent - going from 'shower' to 'soap'. He asked guests
to wear bathrobes, be prepared for a face mask and he's got plans
to capture their mud packed faces on film!

- one of each for the number of invited guests
- special paper
- bars of lovely soap
- glittery gold seals
- gossamer fine pink ribbon
Assembly
- Write the invitation with relevant details and fun 'instructions'
to guests on the paper.
