What comes first? Wedding invitation or Bridal shower invitation?

Shaquaya, on January 22, 2014 at 9:10 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 10

So I'm sending my wedding invites out on the 31st, however my sister who is MOH and throwing my bridal shower wants to send out the bridal shower invitations the middle of next week. Do people typically receive your wedding invitations first? Should I make her wait til a few days after I send the wedding invites to send the bridal shower invites?

    My wedding invitations went out first, and my sisters just sent out my bridal shower invites...I've been in weddings where it's done both ways

    As long as you ensure that everyone invited to the shower is also invited to the wedding, I don't think it really matters which order they are in.

    Yes I did remember to invite everyone to both events, well all women at least.

    Thanks for the advice ladies!

    The bridal shower invites are going out first for me. The shower is I think in march or April, and my wedding invites are going out at the beginning of March. It seems logical to me that the first event's invites go out first.

    My shower invites are going out first as my shower is March 8th and invites aren't going out until the end of March. I don't think it matters.

    I know one shower is before I'm sending out wedding invites, but I don't know about the other two.

    My wedding invite went out first... but that's because my shower was only 40 days before my wedding.

    @Jesse'sGirl my shower is 40 days before my wedding also. So how far in advance did you send out your wedding invites?
