Bridal Shower Invitation Etiquette

The following are bridal shower invitation etiquette questions that may present themeselves. You may know the answers to some, or all of them. Just in case you're wondering, take a moment to scan the following:

� When are bridal shower invitations sent?
Ideally, one month before the party. This gives guests time to plan and adjust their schedules. It also allows plenty of response time.

� When should I send more than one invitation?
Each adult should receive their own invitation. Couples can receive just one.

� Should I invite someone from out of state?
It is always considerate to send an invitation. There is a chance that they would attend. If not, they may want to send a card and/or gift.

� Should the same guest be invited to more than one shower?
If a guest is invited to more than one shower, make it known that a gift is not necessary each time. The alternative is, if a guest knows she will be invited to several, she can split up her gifts into smaller related ideas.

� Is it appropriate to ask for gifts of money, in the invitation?
No, this will offend someone. There may be a tactful way to relay this idea, on the phone, when guests reply. In general, bridal shower invitation etiquette states that it's not polite to ask for money.

� Should any stores where the couple are registered be included? The bridal shower registry may be included as a courtesy to guests. Let them know it is for their convenience, not a requirement.
