I'm making a guest list for my bridal shower. Is it supposed to be a females only event? Or do I Invite couples? It's a stupid question but I don't have a clue and I don't want to be rude. TIA

    Is it a bridal shower or a couple's shower? Meaning, will your fiance be there or is it just for you, as the bride? If it's a bridal shower, it's usually a female-only event.

    Ok have another question. Should I invite all of the females on my guest list? My guest list is family only but I know a lot of people from oot won't attend.

    I can't remember - who is throwing you the shower? Did they give you an approximate number of guests they'd like to host? When I was asked for a guest list, I asked about how many people my MOH wanted to host, then based my guest list on that. 

    If there isn't a limit, invite whoever you'd want there. :) I invited OOT guests that I knew wouldn't attend, but some of them are going to attend anyway, from what I understand. (My shower isn't till June.) I ended up inviting friends and family, but it's not all of the women on the guest list for the wedding/reception. It's about 50 I think.

    As bridetobe said, ask your host about the number of guests.  My mom is hosting mine along with my sister, so together we talked about how many people should be invited, etc. I know this is different for everyone, but I just invited my bridal party, one close friend, female family members on my side and Fi's side, and then my mom and FI's stepmom invited a few of their friends who are invited to the wedding. My mom invited about 35 people and around 25 are coming. HTH!

    Just make sure that anyone who gets a shower invite must also be invited to the wedding!!!

    My FI is coming to both of our showers, even though they will be only female guests (except my dad at my side's shower.)

    People do have couple showers, and in that case, then you would invite people as a couple.

    I only invited the women in my wedding party and women of my family and FI family. I didnt feel like i needed to invite all women on the Guest list.
