Bridal Shower Etiquette

Q. I am having a private wedding for family to attend. The reception will be much larger and include non-immediate relatives and friends as well as co-workers. Is it rude to invite a friend to the shower that is not invited to the wedding because of limited space?

A. In a word, yes. It is considered a breach of etiquette to invite people to a shower that haven't been invited to the wedding ceremony. Otherwise, it looks like a blatant attempt to obtain a gift. Showers are for close family and friends; therefore, if a person is close enough to be invited to a shower, they should be close enough to be invited to the ceremony.

The only exception would be if you elope or have a destination wedding attended only by immediate family because of the distance involved.

In some smaller communities, church groups routinely have showers for brides and those events are looked upon differently. The ladies in the church do it as a ministry to newly weds and they don't always expect to be invited to the wedding, particularly if it will be held in another city.
