Or You are invited to a couple's shower. On the app, so no clicky poll.

If it's a shower for the couple, then with apostrophe. If it's a shower where couples are invited, then it's without.

I agree with wambam.

It's confusing, though, because it's a shower FOR the couple AND couples are invited.

My solution: You are invited to a shower (for X and Y) and make sure both names are on the invitation. Avoid the word altogether!

You don't even know. I've been going back and forth with my sisters all morning, lol.

It is a couples shower, meaning that couples are invited.

Thank you all for confirming I'm right.

It should be "couples shower."
