Should we have a shower?

My fiancé and I are having a small wedding (max of 50 people). My mom wants to give us a shower. I think it would be rude to have a shower with people who aren't going to be invited to the wedding. The wedding is going to be local but we just don't want a big wedding. Thoughts?

    It is perfectly fine to have a small shower for a small wedding. You are correct tho, it would be incredibly rude to invite anyone to the shower who is not invited to the wedding. If your mom wants to host a shower and invite only guests form the wedding guest list, it would be nice of her.

    GL! :)

    You're right, it's rude to invite people to a shower when they aren't invited to the wedding.

    Your mother could host a shower with the invited guests, though.  A shower is supposed to be your closest friends and family anyway.  With a 50 person wedding, aren't most of those people invited?

    There is nothing wrong with having a small shower.  Just make sure your mom limits the guest list to wedding guests (although a shower is thrown by someone else in your honor, the hostess should still run some key details by you, such as guest list and date).

    Someone may throw a shower for you, but only people invited to the wedding should be invited to the shower.

    We are inviting approximately 35 people to our wedding. My sister is still throwing me a shower. There will be 12 ladies there (I'm not even inviting all the women invited to the wedding). I think it's going to be great and I can't wait for it.

    You are right that you shouldn't invite people who aren't invited to the wedding.
