I always assume it's a surprise even if it doesn't explicitly say it. Loose lips sink ships...so I wouldn't say anything to the bride-to-be.



I feel the same way!

I always assume it's a suprise when it's a bridal shower and then ask when I RSVP.

I would not think it is a surprise but I wouldn't mention it to the bride.

If the invite does not say it is a surprise I would not think it was a surprise.

I always assume it is a surprise. You really don't want to be that person that spoils it if it is. Why risk it?

Unless the invite requests you to RSVP to the bride herself, I would assume the shower is a surprise.

I would assume that it was a surprise unless the bride-to-be mentioned it to me herself.

The bridesmaid that did my invitations forgot to mention that it was a surprise and two guests told me because they assumed that it wasn't. It totally wasn't their fault, but I was a little disappointed.

Just because an invitation pest say its a surprise doesn't mean that it's not. I always assume its a surprise unless told otherwise...

I always thought it was a given that bridal showers were a surprise. Apparently a lot of people don't. We just threw one for a family member - and the invitation DID say "surprise" in big letters. And yet people still mentioned it and were "shocked" that it was a surprise. I don't get it.

Re: If you received an invitation for...

I never ever say a word to the bride.

Some are sneaky and say they know all about it. They just want info.

No way, no how.

I would assume its NOT a surprise, but I still wouldn't say anything to the bride unless she mentioned it first.

I would think it wasn't a surprise but I'd operate under the pretense that it was until I'm specifically told.

If I was throwing a surprise shower, I would say so on the invite, but in case the hostess forgot, or assumes all showers are surprises, I would act like it was one.
