I am a little confused when it comes to the Bridal Shower not sure who to place on that list. There are certain ppl  I really don’t care about their presence in either event but it’s important to my mother and FI to make sure that they are at least in the wedding but should I also include them in my bridal shower?

    No.  A Bridal shower should be a smaller event (I prefer 20 or fewer) people.  The guest list should be only the bride's closest friends and family.
    "Trix, it's what they/our parents wanted. Why so judgemental? And why is your wedding date over a year and a half ago? And why do you not have a groom's name? And why have you posted over 12,000 posts? And why do you always say mean things to brides?" palegirl146

    Ditto Trix.

    Everyone invited to the shower must be invited to the wedding but the reverse is not true.

    Ditto pp's my shower consisted of my close female friends and family. My mom and MIL's close friends who were also coming to the wedding were also at the shower. Bridal showers should be a more intimate affair than the wedding, and if you invite every single woman on the wedding guest list it can appear gift grabby since the bridal shower's focus is showering the bride with gifts.

    This.  I 100% agree, especially if there are women on the guest list that you don't know like the girlfriends or spouses of friends.
