Each Wednesday, we tackle wedding etiquette. At times, it’s a reader question or one from a colleague, friend or family member and other times we’ll cover a popular issue. (Note: Questions may be edited for clarity and brevity.)
Question: My fellow bridesmaids and the groomsmen in my friend’s wedding are hosting a couple’s shower. Are we supposed to mail an invitation to the couple or should we just invite them in person?
Answer: Since they are the guests of honor, it’s customary to just let them know the date, time and place. However, it’s thoughtful to set aside a copy of the invitation as a keepsake for their wedding album or for a framed collection of the party and wedding stationery.
