help with invite

Im doing a invite for my friends bridal shower and have a few questions.  Her name is Cinthia but she goes by Cindy should I put her full name or the name she goes by.  Im not sure what shes doing on her wedding invite. 

 Its at someones home so should I put so and so's home then address or just the address.

last one.  Is it fine to leave off who is throwing it.  I have planned everything with a little help from one of the bridesmaids moms.  Her mom is paying for that brides maids part but I have done most of the planning its also at the mothers home.  The other bridesmaid was just added so I have yet to talk to her about any parties for the bride.  I will be talking to her about things saturday when we buy her dress and get mine in a bigger size but by then the invites will already be mailed.  I would prefer not to put anything on the invite about who is throwing it because I dont want to offened anyone but other then the mother who helped a little no one has helped me.

I would use Cindy on the invite regardless of what she is doing on the wedding invite.  The shower is a more casual event.  I think it could go either way with listing whose house or not.  The address is what counts so you could either just list the address or do something such as the shower will be held at the home of Name and then list the address.  I personally would think it would be very strange to get an invite without the hosts names listed.  Sorry but something has to be listed.

Hmmm, that's interesting.  I think I would do opposite of pp.  I would use Cynthia, not put who's house it is-just the address, and not bother with the hosts.  I'm doing the same for my SIL and I'm using her full name even though she uses her shortened name and since her mother, the FMIL, and the bridal party are all helping out, it was a bit much to put that all on the invitation (especially since her mother is paying for most and we're just chipping in the rest) which raises the question, is the host the person who pays the most? or the people who plan it?  I just left it out, as long as the person the party is in honor of knows, I don't think anyone else really cares.
