Bridal shower recipe cards turn a party into a recipe box the couple will actually use. The usual way to do it: tuck one card into each bridal shower invitation and ask every guest to bring it back filled in with a favorite recipe. Guests who cannot come can mail theirs. By the end of the shower the bride has forty recipes in the handwriting of the people who taught her to cook.

Every set here is 4 x 6 inches, so the cards fit a standard 4x6 envelopes and a recipe box. Choose gold foil, silver foil or rose gold for a formal shower, florals for a garden theme, or a water-resistant set if the cards will live in the kitchen. Newlywed advice cards in matching foil let guests add a line of marriage wisdom beside the recipe. Sets come with 48 or 50 cards, enough for a shower of 40 with spares. Matching 4x6 envelopes are sold separately.

FAQ

How do bridal shower recipe cards work with invitations? Slip one card and a return envelope inside each invitation with a line like "Please bring a favorite recipe for the bride." Guests fill the card at home and bring it to the shower, or mail it back.

What size are the recipe cards, and will they fit in an invitation envelope? The cards are 4 x 6 inches. They fit inside an A7 (5 x 7) invitation envelope flat, and they ship in their own 4x6 envelope if you add one.

How many recipe cards do I need? One per guest plus a few extra; a set of 48–50 covers most showers. For a large shower, two sets of the same design match exactly.

Can guests write on foil cards? Yes. The foil is on the border and heading; the writing area is uncoated card stock that takes any pen.

Do you have matching thank-you notes or advice cards? Newlywed advice cards are in this collection in gold and silver foil. Note cards in matching designs are in the note card collection.
