Hi Everyone!
My fiance and I have decided to have a private ceremony with family-only and the only friends invited would be those in the wedding party. The ceremony will have a total guest count at 25-30 people. We are then going to have a reception/celebration for all the extended family and friends about 6 to 8 weeks later.
Since we are doing things a little more non-traditional, what is the etiquette on having a bridal shower? Can I only invite those that are invited to the actual ceremony, or is it open to all those invited to the reception? Or would it be in better taste to just scratch the bridal shower altogether?
