My brother & his FW are having a disney wedding and I really wanted to throw them a shower here before they left. As far as I know, they're not planning an at home wedding or reception of any sort, and I wanted to be the one to host a shower for them for our side of the family. However, I know there are certain etiquette rules about being invited to the shower and not the wedding and was wondering how this applied here. Basically, for the DW they are having, whomever can afford to go down to Orlando for the week can come. Would I be rude to hold a shower for them and invite people who may not attend the wedding?

| In my personal opinion, I think it would be a great way for people who can't afford to attend the wedding to celebrate with the couple. But, I realize there are "rules" and some people may be offended. But if I was one of the invited guests, I would happily attend  Especially if I couldn't afford to attend the wedding. Again, JMO.

Again this is one of those..if people are offended...clearly they arent close because....people shouldnt be offended if its someone they care about...my cousin is having a DW and she did the same thing..anyone who can afford to come..your more than welcome.but there was no official or formal invite..and they arent having an AHR EITHER....her maid of honor threw a shower for her for her family so it was all her aunts, cousins ect.....of course we werent offended..she's my cousin...she's family.....and we want to celebrate with her however we can...if someone is offended..hopefully they just wont come and you'll all be better off...i think some people just enjoy being "offended" by things..it makes them feel like a big deal...when they arent! so ignore those negative people and have a great shower!

I think the "rules" would be different for a DW as not everyone can afford to go and that there really isn't any formal inviting. Whoever can make it is more than welcome to be there sord of thing. So I think you should be able to do that for a shower, I think it would be a great idea for everyone to get together and celebrate the marriage in an iformal way.
