Putting together the guestlist for your wedding shower? Before you send out invitations, take a look at our guide on who to invite to your Michigan bridal shower.

Bridal Party

You’ve already selected the nearest and dearest in your life to be a part of your bride tribe, so don’t forget to include them in your guest tally for your bridal shower! Your leading ladies can sit by your side during the festivities and help out with any games or last-minute setup. Plus, your maid of honor will most likely be involved in the planning of your shower, so she can help you narrow down your list if need be!

Family

Your wedding shower should be full of people who know you best, and who better to do that than your family! From mothers and sisters to aunts and cousins, be sure to invite your close family members. If having separate showers for different sides of the family due to location or preference, be mindful of that and cater invitations to that group. You can skip distant relatives and save your reunion for the actual wedding.

Friends

Wedding showers are meant to be intimate, so keep that in mind when choosing friends to attend. Consider adding any close friends (of yours or your partner’s) that are invited to the wedding but you didn’t choose to be part of your bridal party. For significant others and plus-ones, don’t feel obligated to invite them unless you have a close relationship with them. A thing to note: just because they will be attending your wedding, does not mean you have to invite them to your shower. 

Coworkers

If you are close to your coworkers and socialize with them after work, feel free to send them an invitation! Just remember, it’s not proper etiquette to invite someone who isn’t invited to your wedding. However, if your office throws you a bridal celebration, you don’t need to feel obligated to invite them to your big day.
