bridal shower invitation idea

He needs to see the positive side. Dear Annie: Last year, my pastors wife succumbed to a long battle with cancer.

It was heartbreaking for the entire church family. A year later, the pastor quietly remarried.

Although members of the church were aware of the wedding, we were not invited to the ceremony, which was held at the church. Only families of the bride and groom were invited, and one or two very close friends.

Most church members, however, received invitations to a bridal shower. The invitation listed several bridal registries, as if this were a young couple getting married for the first time.

I am bothered by the fact that I was invited to the shower but not to the wedding. My understanding is, if you dont invite someone to your wedding, you shouldnt invite that person to your shower.

Am I right? -- Bothered in Shreveport, La. Dear Shreveport: Yes and no.

Generally, one does not invite anyone to a shower who also is not invited to the wedding -- except when the wedding is so small that it does not include those outside the family. In those instances, the shower serves as a substitute reception.

Please wish your pastor well. Dear Annie: This is for Wanting to Gallop Away in Oregon, the young horse owner who is being pressured to let her neighbor, Carrie, ride her horses.

Horses are large, powerful, unpredictable animals, and any rider can easily get hurt through a riding mishap. This forces the horse owners to accept a huge legal liability.

Wantings parents should contact Carries parents and tell them that their insurance policy does not permit them to allow non-family members to ride the horses. The potential liability claims are not worth it.
