Bridal shower invitation wording

Hello everyone,

My name is Kara and my fiancé and I are getting married next November :-)

My question here actually pertains to my second cousin's wedding this June.   My grandmother recently received an invitation to the shower addressed to her and a "guest".  The invitation came in care of my mother and my aunts, my mom's sisters, have not received invitations.

My mom and I are trying to figure out if she is invited to the shower. Have any of you seen or received a shower invitation addressed like this?

Any input is greatly appreciated.

Kara and Bruce

    Does your grandmother live with your mother? Is that why it was "in care of" her?

    It sounds like a couple's shower.  

    I don't think your mom and aunts are invited.

    My grandmother doesn't live with us.  She has dementia and that could be why.  I just had never seen an invite like that before.

    Hmmmm. Yeah, I don't think your mom is invited.

    It doesn't sound like your mom is invited. Is it possible that your grandmother was invited with guest because she has dementia and the hostess(es) thought she would need someone to come along with her?

    I had the same thought.  I'm guessing your grandmother can't go places by herself so they figure she would bring a caretaker.  So by that token your mom could go with her.

    It sounds like your mother wasn't specifically invited in her own capacity, but if your grandmother was invited with a guest of her choice, your mother could accompany her as a caretaker.
