A couple's shower typically includes close friends, family members, and colleagues who want to celebrate the couple's upcoming wedding.
Here's a breakdown of who to consider inviting:
Close Friends
- Best friends: These are individuals who have a strong bond with the couple and have been there for them through thick and thin.
- Friends from various stages of life: Include friends from childhood, college, and work, as well as those who have become close through shared interests or activities.
- Friends of the couple individually: If the couple has friends who are not mutual, consider inviting them as well, especially if they are close to one or both partners.
Family Members
- Immediate family: This includes parents, siblings, grandparents, and other close relatives.
- Extended family: Consider inviting aunts, uncles, cousins, and other family members who are close to the couple.
- In-laws: It's customary to invite the future spouse's family, including parents, siblings, and other close relatives.
Colleagues
- Close work friends: Include colleagues who are close to the couple and who they socialize with outside of work.
- Supervisors or mentors: If the couple has a strong professional relationship with their supervisors or mentors, they may be invited.
Others
- Significant others: If the couple's friends or family members are in relationships, their significant others may also be invited.
- Children: If the couple has children, it's usually appropriate to invite them to the shower.
Remember, the guest list for a couple's shower is ultimately up to the couple. They should invite those they feel closest to and who they want to celebrate with.
