Can You Invite Someone to a Bridal Shower and Not the Destination Wedding?

By Anna Duncan

A bridal shower and a destination wedding are two of the most cherished and anticipated moments for the bride and groom. It is natural for their family and friends to be excited about both events, but there are often times when one can’t attend both. In this case, one must make a difficult decision about who to invite to the bridal shower, and who to invite to the destination wedding.

When deciding who to invite to the bridal shower, it is important to consider how close your relationship is with them. If you have a close relationship with someone, it may be appropriate for them to receive an invitation regardless of whether or not they will be able to attend the destination wedding. On the other hand, if someone is simply an acquaintance or friend-of-a-friend, it may not be necessary for them to receive a bridal shower invitation if they will not be attending the destination wedding.

It is also important to consider how much money each guest will need in order to attend both events. If you want guests at both your bridal shower and your destination wedding, you may need to make decisions accordingly. Inviting someone who cannot afford both events may be difficult, but inviting them only to one event could take away from their experience by making them feel left out of the other event.

Ultimately, it is up to you as the bride or groom as to whom you decide to invite to each event. Your decision should be based on your relationship with each individual guest as well as their financial situation. While it can feel like an impossible task at times, try your best not to feel guilty about who you can or cannot invite; after all, this day should be special for both of you!

Conclusion: Deciding whether or not someone can be invited only to your bridal shower and not the destination wedding can be a tough call. Ultimately, it is up to you as the bride or groom as to whom you decide  to invite to each event based on your relationship with each individual guest as well as their financial situation so that everyone can have an enjoyable experience.
