um no one, she should be, unless shes like a bad person and you genuinely dont like her then the bride should say it, but she should DEFINITELY be invited to the wedding
Yes and no. Depending on your relationship. If the relationship is strong then yes, otherwise no.
If you are not invited to the bridal shower dose not mean your not wanted at the wedding . So go to the wedding .
Whether you know the bride or not you should bring a gift to her bridal shower. You also have the right to not attend the wedding shower especially if you are not invited to the wedding.
yes! of course! they want you there and they want your presents!
Possibly, but I personally don't like that idea.
It is proper etiquette to only invite people to the shower who will also be invited to the wedding. If the couple is having a private ceremony with only family, then only invite family to the shower. If they are eloping and not inviting anyone, it would be safest not to have a shower because those at the shower would be expecting a wedding invitation.
If you are invited to the bridal shower and the wedding it is usually customary to buy a gift for both events. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well if you are invited to bridal shower as well as wedding.... then definitely you need to take care of the budget. Because now you have to spend twice. So the best solution to this is for bridal shower buy something not all that expensive...some things that come to my mind are: # Wedding Bowls & Plates # Wedding Night Lingerie # Tees for Brides # Spa Gift Sets # Drinkware # Cookbooks for Newlyweds
Traditionally if the immediate family is invited to the wedding itself, but the reception is at a hall or a parent's home then guests should be invited then that is the only time you should invite others to a wedding shower. If the wedding is small with no other guests other than the immediate family then either the mother and father of the bride or the groom's parents could have a small reception at their home and those guests should then receive an invitation (can make the invitations online) or buy less traditional invitations at card shops and then invite certain relatives if you so choose. However, as long as other relatives and friends understand the reasoning for your wedding plans then you could get away with a wedding shower and wedding gifts and that is up to the bride and her mother.
No, it is not necessary to give an engagement present unless someone is giving a party for the fiance and fiancee. A wedding shower gift from the females invited to the shower and a wedding gift is etiquette.
* If a guest should be from out of town then you could call the person giving the wedding shower and ask them if it would be alright to bring your guest. If your friend has not been formerly invited to the wedding shower then they shouldn't go. If she is a close friend of the brides and you feel a mistake has been made and she has been over looked then you should speak to the hostess by phone regarding your friend.
* If you are not invited to the shower then it is up to you whether you would like to give a gift or not, but you don't have to. If you were invited, but can't make the shower then yes, you should send the gift with someone else you know that is attending or stop by and give the gift AFTER the shower to the person the shower is for.
You can, of course, but a great deal of tact will be required since it's only human nature for those not invited to the wedding to wonder how you reached the decision to invite others and not them.On the other hand, there could be resentment if you invite friends to neither the shower nor the wedding!One idea might be to make it a special shower, maybe with champagne and good finger food, and explain privately to each person not invited to the wedding how bad you feel at not being able to fit everybody in, but there simply isn't room.Perhaps you could give them, privately again, a small gift - a keepsake - of the wedding and suggest that once you're settled following the honeymoon, you'll give a simple, intimate party just for them. Do this before the wedding, otherwise it might appear to some that you feel they're upset and are simply trying to pacify them.
Not all are. This is a choice the the party-giver; whether to surprise the bride (or it can also be said the same for baby showers too). This can be tricky however; what if the guest of honor is not looking her best / feeling her best at party time? Somebody has to be in charge of this person to make sure all is going to work out smoothly. Have fun. Always remember, those invited to the shower should be invited to the wedding - tacky to invite someone to the shower when they aren't invited to the wedding.
