SPR: If you got a shower invite that didn't say SURPRISE on it
would you talk to the person that the shower is for about it?
Here is the scoop: when invites when out for my baby shower, my mom and sister didn't put surprise on it (it wasn't, but they didn't want me to know that much) so my best friend told me she got the invite and that she was going. My sister is STILL pizzed off about it. And yesterday, I got the invite to my friend's shower spilling the beans that she is having a boy (I knew, but her extended family didn't) and my sister said "GOOD, she ruined your shower"
I think that unless an invite says SURPRISE on it, then it is fair game to talk to the person whose party it is about the party? Am I nuts?

I would think that is true of any party - if it doesn't SAY surprise, then its safe to assume that it is not.

If I got such an invite, I would play it safe and not bring it up. Showers are often surprises and some people think that's a given.

Generally speaking, even if it doesn't say surprise I don't say anything b/c I don't want to be the one who spills the beans.
That said, in your case I think your sister is being silly. If you knew when the date was you probably talked about it with your friend - what you were going to wear, whatever.

I think you're probably right, but I'm always cautious and don't talk about it unless they bring it up first. I wouldn't want to be the person who ruined something.

I never bring up someones shower to them. Even if they say they know. I'm always thinking they might be tricking me

I agree.
although
one of my coworkers ruined my shower surprise, but it wasnt intentional. my sis gave all the invites to one girl and she interofficed all the others around the office.
so this one girl thought I interofficed them, which makes sense. 
so she responded to me 
I wasnt angry though, my sis FLIPPED.
so my sister said it was too late to change things, for me to act surprised.
well she winded up changing the date and totally catching me offguard anyway

Re: SPR: If you got a shower invite that didn't say SURPRISE on it
I always assume showers are surprises and never talk about them.
ETA: all of the showers I have been to were intended to be surprises, but the invites did not say 'surprise' on them. In my circle its a given.

Interesting. I think she said something to me b/c my shower was SO late (37.5 weeks) and because my bridal shower invites made a big point about it being a surprise so she didn't think this one was.
Again, I knew the date and time and place, so it wasn't really a surprise either...
