Etiquettes You Should Know about Before Planning Your Bridal Shower

  • Send the Invitation a Little in Advance: With everyone living a fast paced and busy life, people like to plan their engagements in advance. While sending the invitation, make sure that you are sharing it with the guests at least 3-4 weeks before.

  • Thank You Notes for the Guests: Your thank you note should also convey the invitation to the wedding. Note that the guests to your wedding shower should also be invited to the wedding. Nothing beats a handwritten note to convey your gratitude, and therefore, you should plan one.
