The couples shower is similar to the baby shower and the wedding showers except the guests are both males and females. The guests are the female friends of the bride in the traditional wedding shower. It is usually given by the maid of honor or by the best friend of the bride. Usually, the party is held at someones house or at a designated place. Of course there are also the theme bridal party or the more elaborate showers. Now for the invitation, they generally complement the party. If the party is a theme party, say a 60s theme party, the invitation is 60s designed or inspired.
Now the traditional bridal shower has evolved with the changing family structure and the evolving role of the men and women in the society. Thus we have now the couples shower. The couples shower in fact is becoming more and more the norm as part of the wedding event. Even though we still see the traditional bridal shower, more and more couples are having the couples shower party instead. Then of course the couples are now more and more sharing the responsibility and role in the family. The usual gifts for the bridal shower are no longer really just for the women.
Now since the couples shower is for both the female and the male, the themes are also different from the traditional bridal shower. For instance, it is no longer quite appropriate to give out lingerie theme bridal shower. The male and the female guests would then be uncomfortable with this party. Therfore choosing the theme that is right for both the sexes is important. The host must also consider the games when choosing the theme. Also, the right place for the event must be taken into consideration if the party will be a night out in the town.
Of course the invitation should be applicable for both the female and the male also. Even though the male are invited they might feel out of place if the invitation is a traditional bridal shower invitation. At the same time, it is important to make sure that the groom is given the same attention as the bride. The party must therefore be interesting to the groom and the male friends as well. The first thing that can really make them interested with the party of course is the invitation. The host should therefore choose the right couples shower invitation for the couple. The couples shower invitation should therefore be something that will pique the interest of the males not just the females.
