pre-wedding party etiquette

Just curious, what is the etiquette regarding who is invited to the bachelorette party vs. who is invited to the shower? 

When asked about what kind of bachelorette party I wanted to have, I told my MOH that I thought I wanted it to be pretty small, maybe even just my bms since I have a huge wp. 

Obviously, there are people who will attend the wedding shower (acunts, moms, grandmas, etc. who will not be attending bachelorette party.  But what about co-workers or family members who are around my age?  Is it rude to invite people around my age to the shower but not the bachelorette party? 

I'd really like to figure this out before I have to give lists of potential guests to my MOH.

Thanks <3


I couldn't tell you the day that I fell in love...but fall I did...head over heels in fact...Can't wait until I marry the love of my life.

    The only rule etiquette-wise is that you only invite people to the shower or bach party that are invited to the actual wedding.

    Thank you for letting me know =)  I will definitely be following this rule; just not sure I want to invite certain people because I don't know what kind of debauchery, if any, my girls have planned for the night of my bach pty

    My bachelorette party was a lot smaller than my showers, probably about 8 or 9 women.  I only invited my BMs and closest friends.

    [QUOTE]Everyone doesn't expect to be invited to either the shower or bachelorette. B-parties are more or less understood to be the bride's closest friends in her age group.

    <div>Ditto this.  If you hang out with co-workers outside of work, then you might consider inviting them.  But if you would be uncomfortable drinking or anything like that in front of them, then don't feel obligated to invite them.</div>
