letting shower invitees know about bachelorette party
I'm helping the MOH plan a bridal shower/bachelorette party for a friend of ours. The bachelorette party will be on a Friday and Saturday and the bridal shower will be that Sunday. The MOH and Bride decided to open the invitation to the bachelorette party to those who will be receiving invitations to the bridal shower.
That part is fine. The part I'm struggling with is how do I include information about the bachelorette party with the bridal shower invitations? Should I include a flier in with the shower invitation, or send out a separate invite, or include a little note to ask for details about the bachelorette party when they RSVP about the shower? Or is including an announcement about the bachelorette party tacky? Since the bachelorette party had already been semi-planned by the bridal party, how can I tactfully address that anyone not in the bridal party needs to find a way to pay for their own room at the resort?

Dear Parties,
See, this is the problem. The guests will need to pay... again. Guests to the bridal shower will be buying a present for the bride; this is not cheap. They will be purchasing a wedding present and some may be traveling for the wedding--not cheap. To extend the offer of yet another expenditure, may not be the 'nicest' offer they can receive.
It would be best not to invite them to the bachelorette party. If you must, you could either include the information on a separate paper or include it on the shower invitation. Ask for a verbal RSVP so you may inform them of the additional cost to them. I believe this is the fairest way to go about this.
