Not sure if in the right place.

Me and my FI want to do the Bridal Shower together as a couple. I bought print out invitations. How would I word it so it sounds just right?

    It sounds like you're hosting your own shower, which is an etiquette no-no.  It's fine to have one if someone else offers, but if you're hosting it looks like you're soliciting gifts.

    You can't host your own shower. If someone offers you can bring up that you like the idea of doing a co-ed shower, but if they don't want to host that type of shower that's definitely their perogative. If no one offers to host a shower for you, you don't have one.

    It's not going to sound right b/c hosting your own shower is rude and tacky.  Don't do this as it comes off as entitled and gift-grabby.

    Definitely do not host your own shower!

    Also, don't ask anyone to host it for you. If someone OFFERS to host a shower for you or you and FI, you can graciously accept. Otherwise, sorry, but you don't get one. Showers are not required.

    Do you have a Maid of Honor or someone you would feel comfortable asking, very politely, if she would be interesting in helping you with a shower. That way you can put her name in the invitation, and it won't look like you're having a party to honor youself.

    <div>Please don't do this, chances are the person will feel obligated to help you throw the shower, and so then you're asking for gifts and putting a friend in an uncomfortable situation.  </div>

    I think I worded the post wrong. We aren't throwing our own Shower, my FI mother is, but we are going to print the invitations because she doesn't know how to. We wanted it to  be a co-ed party and guess none of us knew the person hostingshould be the name on the invitation.
