Too soon to do fb event for Shower?

I would leave it up to the hosts to handle all of that. You already have a ton on your plate, why add responsibilities you don't need to take on to the list? Also, as a guest I would be very confused as to why I was getting an invite for a shower from the bride 3 months before the event, especially if there's a paper invitation as well. I don't think you need to do double invites.

View Quoted Comment Thanks for the input! I'm so used to planning everything now, that I'm having a hard time letting go of control of this one thing haha.

We did FB group invite and also sent out paper invites because I just feel like paper invites are more formal. People tend to forget what they see on FB, but if they have a physical invite.... I think it helps them to remember.... just my opinion.


We created the group after Christmas and the physical invites were sent out this past week. Shower is Feb. 22

It's a bit soon and I'd also just leave it to the bridal party

I’d be really confused to get a real invitation to a shower and then have the bride invite me to a FB event for the same event. It may also complicate things with RSVPs , with some replying one way and some replying the other and messages getting crossed.

I'd let the host do the Facebook event if she doesn't plan on sending formal invitations.
