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. The party is usually held at a designated place or at someones house. There are also the more elaborate ones, such as theme inspired bridal 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 with the evolving role of the men and women in our society and the changing family structure, the traditional bridal shower has also evolved. Thus we have now the couples shower. Now the couples shower as part of the wedding event is becoming the norm. More couples are now having couples shower party instead even though we still see the traditional shower occasionally. 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 example, the lingerie theme bridal shower is now quite inappropriate. 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. Then if the party will be something like a night out in the town, then one must also consider the right places for such event.
Of course the invitation should be applicable for both the female and the male also. The traditional invitation cannot be used since it might make the males feel out of place for the occasion even though they are invited. 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 invitation of course is the first thing that can make them be interested with the party. The right couples shower invitation for the couples should be the ones used by the host. The couples shower invitation should be interesting for the female as well as the males.
