I have a friend who was married 2 months ago in another state. She is coming home to visit, and I would like to host a shower for her. Would it still be considered a "wedding shower" even though they are married? Please help with correct wording. Thank you

Dear Good Friend,
There are a few times that a shower after the wedding is appropriate. However, I'm not sure that this would be one of them. Plus, only those invited to the wedding can be invited to the shower.
A shower is an optional event and besides being a gift giving event, it is held to help the guests feels as if they are a part of the gift giving experience. In your case, it may be viewed negatively as a way to get more gifts for someone who recently received wedding gifts.
So, a small wedding reception is possible. This is also not a gift giving event, but could be enjoyable for everyone who couldn't attend the wedding.
