Bridal Shower invitations after receiving RSVPs?

First off, let me say that every person invited to the bridal shower will be invited to the wedding (of course).  My question is do I need to wait to receive the wedding RSVPs before hanging over my bridal shower invite list to my MOH?  Is it rude to invite someone to the bridal shower when they said they can't attend the wedding?  I think with the date she's planning on having the bridal shower, there may be some overlap in when invites for the wedding and the shower go out.

    Nope. As long as everyone is invited to the shower is invited to the wedding, you're in the clear. It's not your fault if they can't attend the wedding for whatever reason.

    Typically, a wedding shower happens before wedding invitations even get sent out. Most RSVP's for receptions arrive approximately 4 weeks prior to a wedding. Unless you plan on having a very late shower, you are fine. Actually, for someone that already knows they are unable to attend the wedding, they may welcome the shower as a chance to see and congratulate the bride personally. Make sure you still send that guest a wedding invitation.

    I'm going against etiquette a little bit with the wedding invites and sending them out about 12 weeks in advance.  That's typical in my friend circle because there's a lot of people who are long distance.  Thank you for the responses!  One less thing to worry about.

    No problem at all.  Not being to come to the wedding =/= not able to come to the shower.   






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.
