Need Help with Bridal Shower Invites? How Can I Get More Names from the Bride?

[jrstephens]

Does anyone have a list or flyer with suggets to the bride on who all to invite. I have a shower in a little over two weeks and the host told me she has only gotten 6 names from the bride and is trying to get more out of her! I think the Bride is not thinking of this as a regular shower and is inviting people that she knows loves pc.

I need something to give her a kick in the rear!! ha!

She should be inviting everyone that she has invited to her wedding as well as all friends and family and co-workers. She should tell people that she gets free product if they buy stuff for herself so this is an easy way for them to help her stock her new kitchen.

I think that is one of her problems.....she did not have a big wedding and no showers. That is why I thought this one would be huge!! But I guess she is having problems with it. They went to the courthouse and got married b/c her husband was leaving for Basic Training and they wanted to get married before he left. They are having a big wedding later when he gets back.

I am attaching A Tale of Two Brides that I made out of A Tale of Two Hostess. Let me know if yall see anything I should change.

Looks good to me. Sometimes people feel awkward asking for gifts which is why I would stress to her that people can buy for themselves NOT just for her and she still benefits. Also many people underestimate how much people want to do for them and so you might tell her that this is a way for her friends to get together and celebrate her marriage with her since the wedding was so small.

Is there a way for her to enlist a friend to help host this shower? Maybe it would be easier for someone else to be doing the inviting than the bride herself.

A friend is hosting the shower but the Bride is giving her the invitation list. The friend said she was going to add some to it that she knew and talk to her about putting more on it. So far she does not have any of her family or the grooms family. Just 6 people that were at the show that the friend booked the shower from.
