Brain fart.

Help me. My brain has teh dumbs.

We've already sent out invitations for the wedding, but not for the bridal shower my mom is throwing me. Now I realize it's poor etiquette for me to be involved with the planning, and I wasn't going to be originally. But with all that's happened... I feel like I need to step up and help my mom out. This shower is more important to her than it is to me, for whatever reason.

So someone verbally responded to a wedding invitation, saying she didn't think she would be able to come (with her husband and two daughters) because she would be out of town for work. 

Would it be poor etiquette to invite her to the bridal shower anyway, knowing she probably won't make it to the wedding? Also, please don't hate me for doing stuff for this shower. I know it's a total *~special snowflake~* thing but this stupid party has to happen for the sake of my mother's happiness and I'm gonna do it what it takes come hell or high water.

    I dont think so . I think they can be invited to the shower as long as they are invited to the wedding.

    You'll never be subject to a cash bar, gap, potluck wedding, or b-list if you marry a Muppet Overlord.

    Of course she can be invited to the shower. Even if she can't make the wedding, she has still been invited.

    Yes, I'd still invite her to the shower if you were going to originally.
