The bridal party is expected to attend all parties, but is not expected to give gifts at each one.<\/p>\n<p>Bridal showers are partly used to help involve those closest to the couple in the celebration, to bring the excitement closer to everyone. So it follows that only those invited to the wedding should be invited to the bridal shower. The guest list should not be a repeat of all the female guests invited to the wedding. And, hosts should send the invitations at least two weeks before the shower.<\/p>\n<p>The one exception to the &#8220;who is invited rule&#8221; is the work shower. These participants don&#8217;t have to be invited to the wedding. Generally, the bride&#8217;s associates host a surprise bridal shower directly before the wedding.
