Is it appropriate to host one combined bridal shower for two sisters who are getting married one month apart? Some of the guests are friends of one bride or the other (and will give gifts accordingly), but some guests are family members. How should the bridal shower invitations be worded?

Dear Annglo,
Guests may be uncomfortable with this situation. They may feel as if they need to give gifts to both brides. Plus, family will most likely be overwhelmed with the burden of being expected to give four wedding/shower gifts to two different brides in a short period of time. It is best to try to see beyond the brides and what the guests may be feeling with such an event. If this was a giftless shower, it would be much fairer.
Please remember all bridal shower rules. The shower shouldn't be a huge event and it should not be hosted by family. All guests should also be invited to the wedding.
