If someone is invited to my shower from FH's side that I don't know...
how do they know it is for FH's fiance if I never met them? Besides FMIL calling them and giving them a heads up on my shower, how would they know: oh this is for Carl's fiance's shower? I have no idea what is on the shower invites and if FH's name was on there, his last name wouldn't be. Is there another way I can make sure they know its for FH's fiance? Tell my sis to place his name on the registry cards? Is that okay?

I think most people would put the groom's name on it, or at least on the registry card.

generally they know because they have recieved the invite to the wedding before they recieve the shower invite.

I put 'Laurie XXX and Brian XXX are getting married!! on the first line of the invitation that way they have some clue!
For my stepsister's shower the maid of honor only had bride's name (maybe not even her last name )and some people on the groom's side had no idea who it was for and threw the invite out!

I don't know when the shower invites are going out, but I am dropping the wedding invites in the mail at the end of next month. I already gave my mom the list and she was nagging me for it so I have no idea what is going on... I will tell my sister to write FH's name on the registry cards. That should be okay. Thanks!

Dawnie that is what I am thinking may happen. I will have FMIL call these people as a heads up anyway. I don't know what the copy is on the shower invite and I want to be surprised sooo I don't want to get involved with anything..

Well, I wrote on the NWR board that I mailed her shower invites and some people never got them. I was so upset because I had to ask Laurie (ALIASPOOK) for email addresses and phone numbers to see if everyone received them. You can also ask the groom's family to put the word out to his side that they should be receiving an invite to the shower. I didn't want Laurie to be involved in anything. I am so sad because I want it to be a surprise! I didn't want her to be involved in any aspect. I want her to just show up and be surprised. I let you know how it turns out!

My MIL had requested that they put my DH's name on my shower invites...but both me and my mom (who was throwing the shower) felt if they did not know me they should not be invited to the shower and we didn't do that. I just have this thing about keeping showers to people you know well...but not everyone feels that way. It made me extrememly uncomfortable when I had these people at my shower and DH had to go around and introduce me - I felt so bad...and it is not like DH and I were dating a short while - we were together over 6 years!
I have seen it done though and you can request that or like you siad put both names of the registry inserts.

Niecey, I totally know what you mean. We had my sister's FMIL take some people off the list. I wanted it to be more intimate ..people that actaully knew her. Plus, I couldn't fit that many people in the room.
