Shower Etiquette

Meg1979

I did a search on this topic, but I didn't really find anything.  My sister, MOH and mom are graciously throwing me a bridal shower.  I gave my sister the list of people I would like to invite.  I sent out my invitations for the wedding and I've gotten a few people that aren't coming.  However, they are still on the shower list.  Should they still invite them even though they aren't coming to the wedding? TIA

Edit: I just don't want them to feel obligated to come if they can't make the wedding.  I hope that makes sense.

That's just fine. Shower guests need to be invited to the wedding, but it's okay if conflicting plans keep them from attending the wedding.

Yep, it's okay to include them. The key is you DID invite them to the wedding.

Yes, send them an invitation. Even if they can't make the wedding they may still want to be a part of things and coming to the shower is a great way to do that.

Okay, that's good.  Yeah, I did invite them to actual shin-dig, so I figured it might be okay.  I hope they can come.  The more the merrier!

thanks for asking this!  I was wondering the same thing!

My aunt who cannot make it to my wedding is actually throwing my bridal shower since she really wanted to go, but will be in Europe at the time. So it is good to still invite people even if they cannot make it to the wedding so they can still help you celebrate!
