Yes...although, technically, you're not supposed to send the invitations at all. Bridal showers are not really supposed to be thrown by the bride. However, whoever is not technically hosting the shower, should get invitations.

I did hear that every bridal party member should get an individual invitation to the wedding...to which I said...pashaw! My FH's brother-in-law and three nieces are going to be in the wedding. If I sent out an individual invitation to each of them, there'd be five invitations going to that house (one for his sister too)! That seems silly to me. But do remember that you are supposed to send your bridal party a wedding invitation as well.

Good luck!

Anytime, I didn't know either until someone told me...I thought it was kind of silly...still do actually.

You wouldn't invite an actress to the play she's in...but whatever.

I think you do it out of curtousy and if they are allowed to bring a guest so that they can RSVP weather or not they are coming!! Besides it is a nice keepsake for your attendants, I still have mine from my brother's wedding four years ago!! :)

That's what my sister-in-law told me, but I don't even remember getting a separate invitation, let alone know where it is. I'll have some extras, if they want it, they can ask and I'll hand them one...postage can get expensive!

I think it's stupid that you are technically supposed to send an invitation out to everyone over the age of 18 being invited even if they still live at home and their parents are invited. I'm not sending 4 invitations to one house either, that to me is ridiculous.
