[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it depends. If it’s all the women from your office or a church group or a hobby group, I don’t think it’s offensive. I’ve also seen it done with destination or hometown weddings and a shower in the city the bride is actually living has similarly aged/time of life friends (neighbors/colleagues/etc) who aren’t expected to schlep wherever for the actual ceremony. Not weird to me.[/quote]
OP this is exactly why it's tacky for a close member of the family to throw a wedding shower.  If a friend wants to throw a shower and invite you, it shouldn't matter whether or not you were invited to the wedding.  Also, +1 that church weddings are open to the public.  [/quote]

What?

Sigh.

“If a friend hosts the shower” it doesn’t matter if you’re invited to the actual wedding??? What?

Listen, an office shower thrown by colleagues for colleagues that is held at the office has nothing to do with the actual wedding. It’s just a typical work thing we do. Your coworkers don’t expect an invite to your wedding. They primarily just want an excuse to eat cake and not work for 2 hours and then skip out of work early.

This has nothing to do with non-work related showers, so I’m not sure how you are distinguishing between a friend or relative hosting a shower.

I realize old etiquette rules prevent relatives from hosting a shower, and I’ve always felt that was just stupid.

Parents typically host the wedding and engagement party, so why not a shower?

Anyway, it’s weird to invite someone to a shower but not the wedding. Really weird. [/quote]
