Wedding Invitations and Bridal Shower

kelsey+brandon · February 2012

My shower is scheduled for April 14th, but I wasn't planning on sending out our wedding invitations until the end of April. Do you think it's okay that the shower guests won't have gotten their official invite to the wedding yet?

Everyone being invited will have gotten a save the date, so they already know about the wedding and when/where it is.

Do you think this is okay or should I sent them out a little earlier?

My first shower is March 17. The shower invitations for that have already gone out. My wedding invitations won't be sent till the end of March.

I think as long as your shower guests have received a STD, you will be fine.

Since everyone has a STD they already are aware that they will be invited. With that in mind, I think you will be ok to send them out afterwards.

Since someone else is planning a shower for you, they have no control over when you send your invitations. I think it's perfectly fine - etiquette dictates that people invited to the shower must also be invited to the wedding, but I don't believe there's anything in there about having to already have received the actual wedding invitation. Otherwise, what on earth would people given surprise showers do? For all I know, mine's next weekend, haha, my invites definitely will not have gone out.

My shower is the last weekend in March, and my invites aren't going out until the first or second week of April. I did not send STDs. I don't think it's a big deal.

I think its totally fine!!

My MOH sent STDs for the shower (since its the first weekend in June and June is such a busy month for people) and she accidentally sent them before I had our STDs sent.... oh well!!

My shower is also the 14th

I am sending my invites out the end of March and I am sure my shower invites will be sent out before. I sent out STD's so I figure everyone already knows

I think you will be okay sending the invitations after the shower...like you said everyone knows about the wedding anyways....:)

LAJ023 · February 2012

Oops. I accidentally voted that the wedding invites should be sent first. Like PP's said I think since everyone has their STD's, it's fine.

I'm in the same predicament as you!

My shower is on the same date as yours and my invitations won't be sent yet either. I agree with prior posts that it's fine.

My shower is April 1st and invitations won't be sent out until mid-late April. My thank you cards will probably be sent out around the same time as my invitations.
