Support Roles: Maid of Honor and Best Man Even though bachelor and bachelorette parties are sometimes the center of attention, the best man and maid of honor are far more crucial in helping the couple, particularly on the wedding day.
This includes the name of the people getting married, the event's date, time, location, how to RSVP, and registry information. Regardless of who is hosting the shower, make someone responsible for managing RSVPs. The invitation could include RSVP return cards, but phone call or text RSVPs are far more common for wedding showers.
For surprise showers, make sure someone close to your guest of honor keeps her calendar free (or faux busy) for the date you have in mind. The maid of honor or the groom would be a great choice for this. Check RSVPs Most guests will RSVP to the bridal shower shortly after receiving the invitation.
It’s worth mentioning that etiquette expert Sara Jane Ho says, “Express your concerns behind the scenes to your maid of honor and let her manage the others.” To name just one example, a bride shared how her maid of honor invited her “creepy dad” to the bachelorette party.
