Except for the fact that the guests are both male and female, the couples shower is the same as the wedding shower and the baby shower. In the usual or traditional wedding shower, the guests are the female friends of the bride. 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. 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 the traditional bridal shower has evolved with the changing family structure and the evolving role of the men and women in the society. And so we now have the couples shower. The couples shower in fact is becoming more and more the norm as part of the wedding event. More couples are now having couples shower party instead even though we still see the traditional shower occasionally. Also, the responsibilities and the role in the family is now being shared by the couples. 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. When choosing the theme one must also consider the games for the party. Also, the right place for the event must be taken into consideration if the party will be a night out in the town.
Needless to say, the invitation is something that must be for the male and for the female. 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 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 therefore be something that will pique the interest of the males not just the females.
