Bridal shower invitees?

by **choviohoya** » Mon Oct 31, 2011 10:02 am

My moh is asking for a list of people to invite...she asked if I wanted two showers, one for family and the other for just the bridal paty...but since this is a destination wedding, I don't wanna go overkill on pre-wedding parties so I said one is good. But who do I invite besides girlfriends, sister, maybe a few female co-workers who I'm inviting to the wedding...but am I allowed to be discriminating or do I pretty much invite every female bonded to me by blood and friendship? I'm not close with my female cousins cuz most of them are much older..I'm also not close to my sister in law....so akwardness might be an issue. Or is it bad form to leave them out? Do I invite my mom or other people's moms if I'm close to them??

You invite every female that will receive an invitation to your wedding. It is tacky and rude to invite people to a Bridal shower and not invite them to a wedding....destination or not.

Don't know if you will get this comment or no. You invite close cousins and friends and both Mothers attend all showes/parties except bachelorette. And as matter of diplomacy invite sis in law to accomany MIL. She will be aunt to your children one day if you want c. Keep invites to 20-30. Othmomsok

I would not be offended if invited to a shower for someone I care about and was having a destination wedding. It's all about love and caring and sometimes the "so-called" rules have to be bent a bit. Again if people care, it won't matter to them and they may give you a cash gift to help out. C & BW

Yes you invite your mom and your family. Friends and co workers of course are invited if you so choose. It is not mandatory for you to invite everyone and their brother, however, if they are related, yous should invite them. I read a website long time ago that if I remember correctly, anyone who is invited to the wedding should be invited to the shower. Not sure if that still stands or not though.
