@ShootingStar: I don't think it's rude, I would probably just out of curiosity just want to see what they looked like and so forth. When I throw parties I always consult with the person it's for to ensure its to their taste. I guess everyone is different, depends how it came across.

If you had already discussed the theme and wording of the invite then I don't think she necessarily needed to see it unless she was just excited. My cousin didn't even send me an invite for my shower this past weekend but gave me a copy at the event. I love party planning so it is hard for me not to have an opinion but you have to remember that someone else is hosting and be gracious.

I don't think that is rude, necessarily, either. I like how your DH handled it, myself. This allows them to see it, but not have the opportunity to change anything.

I didn't see either of my shower invites, & was only "invited" to one of my 2 showers happening in the next week. It is killing me not to ask about how things are coming along for either, but I don't want to sound like I don't trust things are coming together... though, for the family shower, I really do *not* trust things are set. There's some drama there, which I'm just not up for dealing with, so I'm just going with the flow of everything else I need to pay attention to right now.
