There are a few common showers or events that occur before a wedding! The party that typically comes first in the order of events is the engagement party. This often occurs in the days or weeks directly after the proposal.

Then, there are bridal showers and groom showers (sometimes referred to as "groom roasts").

Another common pre-wedding event is the bachelor or bachelorette party, which usually involves the wedding party and close friends of the bride and/or groom.

While these are the most common showers leading up to a wedding, there are also couple's showers, bridal brunches, and more. At the end of the day, it is totally up to you how many of these events you choose to host!

Absolutely! It is very common to host a series of events in the year before your wedding. This could include an engagement party, a bridal shower, or even smaller events like a wedding dress shopping day with close friends and family. Turning special moments into events is a great way to savor and remember this beautiful period of your life.

While it is exciting to host lots of pre-wedding events, it is important to note that your guests may not be able to attend all of them. If you are hosting multiple events, don't be offended if someone can't make it to every single thing!

Sending a digital Invitation with Evite is the easiest way to invite people to your pre-wedding events. If you are planning a shower or party, Evite makes it easy to customize your Invitation and keep track of everything you need. You can track RSVPs, message your guests, and even ask poll questions to get information like meal preferences.

With Premium templates, you can also upload photos to your Invitation to help guests understand the dress code for your events. With free & Premium templates, you can add an RSVP deadline to get a true view of your headcount, and collect photos after your event in a free shared album!

Typically, wedding showers are hosted by someone in the wedding party or a close relative of the shower honoree. Whether this is a bridal shower, a groom shower, or a couple's shower, these events are most often hosted by someone who has volunteered to do so.

It's really up to the individual or couple to choose who they want to host the event! While traditionally the maid of honor, bridesmaids, or mother of the bride host a bridal shower, it's also common for the mother-in-law to host, or even other close friends or family.

It is also becoming more common for a combination of people (whether they are in the bridal party or not) to co-host, to help spread out the workload!

Plus: Evite allows you to add a guest of honor to your Invitation so you can view important updates, and let your host handle the little details.
