Bridal shower invites before wedding invites

Paige, on April 19, 2018 at 2:16 PM Posted in Parties and Events 0 9
We are getting marriwd september 28th, 2018. We did not send save the dates( to help save money) so we plan on sending out our wedding invites the end of June. But my MOH is having my bridal shower in the beginning of June so our guests ( the females im inviting to the shower) will receive the bridal shower invite before the wedding invite. Is this a bad idea? I feel like its weird. I need advice!

    This has happened with every shower/wedding I’ve been invited to. It’s not weird at all.

    While it is pretty traditional to send the wedding invitation prior the shower invitation, sometimes that just can't work out. When daughter #3 got married she had to fly back home for the shower (she moved out of state 15 months prior to her wedding). She could only get time off of work 3 months prior to her wedding so shower invitations went out first, although she did do save the dates. I really wouldn't worry too much about it.

    That's how it happens. Generally people have heard by word of mouth that your getting married, especially if you haven't sent save the dates. Most showers are a few months prior to the wedding so invites wouldnt have gone out yet.

    Nope its totally fine. My guest got the invites for my first shower thats next month last month. I just mailed out the invites for the wedding today. But I knew some would get the shower invites first since I have to have two showers in different states.

    I just feel like some people( women) will be getting an invite for a shower when they don’t know the date of the wedding( not everyone knows the date, we’re trying to let everyone know)

    We sent ours out before wedding invites. I think this is the norm

    This happened to me too. We had the shower before the wedding invitations were sent out. As long as your guests are invited to your wedding you're fine.
