Give the hostess a complete and accurate list of guests to invite, including out-of-town family members who may not attend but wish to send a gift. Be sure to explain the relationship (e.g. cousin, college friend, great aunt) so that the hostess will know who to address the respondent when they RSVP.

Include the store where you are registered on your shower invitations.
