Bridal shower

Never heard of that either, even though I'm from a small town. Different etiquette in different places

Hahahah true say!

Yes the town I am from is only 2500 people if you count outlying farms, ranches and possibly dogs and cows. I would not recommend posting in the Toronto papers! Although if all the randoms that show up bring good gifts....

Oh wow! I've never heard of that. I suppose it's also because I live in Toronto and I don't think we'd be able to do that here - I would not want randoms showing up haha . That's pretty cool though if you live in a smaller, tight knit community!

I don't have control over who is being invited to my showers especially the one being thrown in my home town. Traditionally for those it is posted in the local paper and anyone who would like to come is welcome but I am not going to invite all those people to my wedding.

I am (apparently) having 2 bridal showers and for the one my SILs are throwing they are sending me some invitations so that I can invite some people.

I threw a shower for my sister when I was her MOH... She provided the guest list.

Thank you Loni 😊

Thank you so much ladies! Xo

I also agree with what's been said! Normally the bride provides a guest list for the shower + bachelorette

I agree with Loni!

I believe the general rule for bridal showers is everyone can come, this includes any of your friends and family that may not know the host. The only etiquette rule I've heard is that everyone who comes to the bridal shower must also be invited to the wedding!
