Bridal showers and bachelor parties are a special part of the wedding process that allow the bride and groom to really cut loose with their close friends. And like so many other aspects of modern matrimony, showers and bachelor parties are changing rapidly.

Bachelorette parties have become as raucous and crazy as bachelor parties used to be. And, for more mild mannered couples, the bridal shower and bachelor party have been replaced with the couples shower. Before planning any type of shower or bachelor/bachelorette party, there are a few things to consider.

The fact is that bridal showers, and couples showers, are going to be a little more formal than a bachelor party. Ideally, you’ll send out bridal shower invitations about eight weeks before the actual event. If you just can’t manage eight weeks, four weeks’ notice is the absolute minimum advance notice to give guests.

If you’re hosting a couples shower invitations should explicitly mention that both men and women are welcome. Otherwise, you will have a room full of women and one or two very uncomfortable men.

Which brings us to a question about couples showers that is worth asking, “Should you even have a couples shower?”

Bridal showers have always been a special time before the wedding for women to get together and just be women. Dropping a group of men into the picture dramatically changes the dynamics of the event.

Each group of friends is different, but the last thing you want is a couple’s shower with the women in one room and the men sitting. in another room watching television.

Bachelor parties are, by their very nature, a very informal event. While you’ll definitely want to send out couples wedding shower invitations in a formal manner, you won’t need to bother with such formalities for the bachelor party. Guys seem to revel in the informal and out of control vibe of a bachelor party. The best man hosts the party and doesn’t have a lot of responsibilities besides making sure the groom is in one piece for the wedding.

Bachelorette parties are a phenomenon that have only emerged recently but are becoming quite popular. These events tend to be focused on a nice dinner with the girls, followed by an evening at a night club. Usually, the maid of honor hosts this event and will send out the appropriate invitations.

The rules are still being written for couples showers and bachelorette parties, so have fun and be creative.
