It is but an excuse for the womenfolk to gather together and have a fun evening all by themselves, it also helps in reducing the stress caused by the wedding and keep everyone cheerful. And of course, there are gifts to be opened. Economy in mind, the shower may be engulfed in grandeur or kept simple. It is a chance for the maid of honor to make it a memorable evening of unbridled creativity.
Before the invitations can go out, the organizers need to agree on the mood of the party, who will be invited, where it will be held and so on and so forth. Flowers, music and favors are among the many things to be selected right at the first instance which by no means is a cake walk.

It is taken that the bridal shower and everything about it reflects the personality of the bride, therefore it also goes a long way in showing how well the person managing the even knows the bride.
Sending out the invitations too late or too early could be fatal; guests might have other plans or may just forget about the event all together. Two to three weeks prior to the bridal shower is the apt time to send out invitations. It gives the guests ample time to search for the perfect gift, the dress and clear their schedules.
The general rule is each adult should be sent their own invitation, however, if youre including the men and hosting a couples shower, you would send one invitation to the couple. If there are two female adults living at the same place (roommates) then in this case you would send two separate invitations. In the event that the bride is having another shower, it is prudent to avoid inviting the guests of the other shower to this bridal shower. However, if it is inevitable, it is prudent to inform the guests that they should pass on bringing another gift to the shower and that their company would do.
