who gets invited-- bachelorette & bridal shower?

Hi! So my MOH wants to throw me bachelorette party and bridal shower, which I am very excited for! I was wondering who gets invited to each one? I was thinking for bachelorette party just my friends, but for the bridal shower friends and family. Only problem is all of my fiances' family & my family lives out of state... we don't even know if they'll make it to the wedding. I was wondering if anyone had any advice? Do I go ahead and invite my aunt & cousins who I would love to have there but know they won't make it to the bridal shower or not?

    The MOB, MOG, bms, sisters and probably grandmothers of the B&G should recieve courtesy invites to the shower. If there is room for more on your guest list, add in closest friends and relatives.

    The protocol on invting long distance relatives varies from one family to another. Some send courtesy invitations to close relatives, regardless of distance. Others consider it gift grabby to send an invitation to someone who will not be able to attend. You will have to use your own good judgement and the advice of the MOB and MOG on that question.

    The guest list for the bp is up to you. Close friends and wedding party would be fine. As an MOB, I do not expect to receive an invitation to the bp, if there is one.

    By the way, your MOH is a wonderful friend to throw/organize 2 parties for you : )

    I agree with PP, just make sure whoever is invited to the parties will also be invited to the wedding!
