Wording rules worth knowing
- Registry information is acceptable on a shower invitation because the event is about gifts; keep it to one short line.
- Only invite people who are also invited to the wedding (office showers are the usual exception).
- Send invitations four to six weeks ahead; showers usually happen two to six weeks before the wedding.
