Bridal Shower Invites

Jenna, on November 6, 2019 at 2:08 PM Posted in Parties and Events 0 8

Hi Everyone!

So my shower is in the beginning of August, so I know I have a lot of time to mull this over, but I did want everyone's advice:

So FH and I decided our wedding is kid free, with the exception of the flower girl and ring bearer, who are our niece and nephew. I have two cousins who have children, ranging in age from 4-10. My question is, would it be considered rude to invite the children to the bridal shower, even though they are not invited to the wedding? I know the general etiquette for bridal showers is not invite any someone who isn't invited to the wedding, but these are children who would be attending with their mothers, who I wouldn't want to inconvenience with finding childcare twice if they didn't have to! One of my aunts said it wasn't rude, since I am including them in a sense, but would hate to offend my cousins. We have some fun games planned so I think it would be for the kids!

Any advice is appreciated! Smiley smile

    I think that’s fine, that’s what we’re doing with my shower as well.

    I don't know what the general etiquette says but I allowed kids who were too young to be invited to the wedding to the shower. I don't think kids care as much about etiquette as adults. Smiley xd

    I think that's totally fine!! It's a smaller event, and generally speaking, more casual. I don't know about your particular shower, but often times showers are held in someone's home, so it's not as much of a worry to have kids there.

    I think this is one of those exceptions to the "no kids" rule.

    I don’t think I would invite the kids, but if mom asks to bring them, I don’t see an issue.

    I think inviting kids to the shower is fine in this situation.

    I think kids coming should be okay if the mothers want to bring them to the shower!
