my mom is throwing the shower. she comes up with this idea today that the bridesmaids mothers are supposed to be invited to the shower.and she said they should also be invited to the wedding too. this would make sense to me if my mom was close friends with their parents, or i was. but that's not the case at all. one set i never met, the other 3 i only met a couple times in my life. wtf!

    Yeah, I don't think parents of any of our wedding party are invited to the wedding.  You're right.

    Yea inviting them isn't necessary especially if you aren't close to them and neither is she.

    Don't invite anyone who isnt coming to the wedding to the shower. Its looked at basically a ' Give me presents ' thing. My MOH mom tried to tell my  MOH that I am suppose to invite my family ( who live in NJ , about a 20 hour car ride away) to my BS . Ummm I don't think so.

    I invited one of my BM's parents and siblings to the wedding because she is my BFF and I've spent a lot of time around her and her family.

    I am inviting two of my BMs parents to my wedding and possibly my shower, but that is because I am close to them.

    The parents of 2 members of ours are invited.  My parents (my sister is my MOH) and his BM's because my Fl is actually really close to them.

    You are right, unless you are close with them they don't need to be included.

    I am not inviting my bridesmaids or friends parents. Since we all lvie away from our parents (except for me), we don't hang out with them all the time or anything. It's a waste of money and you are right.

    You're right.  Two of my BMs parents are invited to the wedding but only because one set are friends of my parents and the other (my MOHs parents) were a big part of my life as a teen so, it was important they were there.

    You're under no obligation to do that!

    I know however that my BMs mom's have asked if they can come to the church to see the ceremony to which I said yes of course!

    I think that's kind of old school because alot of times bridesmaids are childhood friends and their moms and your mom are all friends but why pay for people you don't even know

    You're not wrong at all. You're supposed to be comfortable at things like that. You can't do that with someone you met once.

    I agree with some of the PP's:

    Unless you are close, I'd leave them out. 

    They might actually think it's ackward if you invite them and they might feel like you're inviting them because you want a gift.
