Bridal Shower Wording

Beatka

I'm hosting a large bridal shower 100+ this spring.  The Mother of the Bride is paying for the hall, and the Mother in Law is helping with the cake as well as the details of the party, and Bridesmaids are also all contributing for all the favors, and centerpieces and details.  I'm trying to word the invite to give credit to all.

GIVEN WITH LOVE BY MOTHER OF BRIDE
AND THE COLLABORATION OF
MOTHER OF GROOM AND THE BRIDAL PARTY

How else can I word the statement above

Thank you!

I would ask the MOB and MOG what they think first.  According to etiquette, the shower shouldn't be hosted by the moms because it's seen as them fishing for gifts for their kids.  It sounds weird but it's just one of those traditional etiquette things.  Some circles don't follow that though and moms do host showers.  So I would be inclined to ask these moms whether they want to be listed as hostesses.  If they don't, then just list the BMs.  If the moms do want to be listed, I would just list them all equally rather than the way you have it.  Something like, Hosted by MOB, MOG, BMs (all names listed out of course).  This isn't the time to show off who contributed more financially, it's just about who is actually hosting the party.

I agree that I would ask the mothers about their opinion.

I don't think you need to mention who is hosting....if it's a collaboration of a bunch of people, google a verse you can use.  But if everyone is contributing, you don't want to step on anyones toes.  and why be so AW about how much money one person spent over the next person.  Let them all be equal.

I agree with PPs - no need to highlight who spent the most.  Also, keep in mind that hosting doesn't always have to equal paying - it just means being the hostess during the event.
