Groom's Name on Bridal Shower Invitation

Why are you adding his name? The bridal shower is about you so I don't think you need to add his name unless it's a shower where he's going to be there.

It is a mixed family bridal shower and I want them to know who it's for.

View Quoted Comment True but it's for you, not him so I wouldn't include his name. Are all these people invited to the wedding? If so, then they should know who you're marrying but if not it Durant hurt to tell them. Maybe future Mrs. Like you said.

My mother put a little story on the back of mine about his military duty and how we are moving across the country. I wanted to explain why we were having a "farewell and well wishes to the bride to be" instead of just a normal bridal shower. This way people could better grasp the need for a shortened engagement and a smaller guest list.

I'd let whoever is throwing you the shower to figure out the wording.

I don’t think it’s typical for people you’ve never met to be invited to the bridal shower.

That is where I am lost. It is custom to mix families and invite friends but usually those coming at least know his name even if they have not officially met him. I also agreed with the PP that whomever is throwing the shower can take that task. Do what you feel is best but any shower I have been to it has been in the brides name only. Now if you two are having an engagement party then put both names. Maybe Pinterest or etsy can give you suggestions but I think if his name is on it then it will imply that he will be in attendance.

Unless it’s a shower for both of you, I wouldn’t include his name. If someone wouldn’t know who you are by your name, they really shouldn’t be getting invited to the shower.

I wouldn’t want anyone attending my shower if they didn’t know who I was lol. Even if they’re your fiancé’s family theoretically they should still know who you are. If not they don’t belong at your shower

We did a Co-ed Bridal Shower Which was super fun. Both my friends and His friends came. We both opened gifts and both were super funny. We'll be having separate parties for our Bachelorette/Bachelor.

If it’s a shower for you only, I would leave his name off. If it’s a couples shower which is trending, I would include both of your names. It’s sweet you want to include him but I think it’s better to have a sign at the event that has future Mrs X if it’s a true bridal shower for you only.
