Host name on the bridal shower invitation?

There are 3 people who have pitched in money for the bridal shower. I am the maid of honor and have done the planning and purchasing of everything. Whose name should go on the invitation as host? I do not want to hurt anyone's feelings.


I would list the people who paid. I pitched in money for a friend's shower years ago because I was a bridesmaid and the invitation I got said it was hosted by the MOH- who lives out of the country and did not even attend! I don't know if she kicked in money or not but the invite should have said it was hosted by the whole bridal party.

Ask the others how do they feel do they want their names an the invitation? Or you can write your name and then have it say with the help of so and so

Put your name as host and put their names on as assisting you. They should be honored for their contributions as well. You don't need all of the credit for yourself do you?

You do not have to put a host name on it. This shower is for the bride not the people hosting it. They should not care who gets the attention. Have a great time.

I would put your name as hostess and say "assisted by..." It's a kind gesture and I think the other people would appreciate being recognized.

anyone's who helping gets their name on there... don't look for recognition... this is something you are doing because you want to, right? If you are not looking for brownie points then just have all those who helps (all the bm's you are thinking of when you wrote this) as hosts. I do not at all like the idea that was mentioned about those who were "assisting"... that will make you look petty.
