Wedding guests invited to shower?

I don't think this has been asked recently, but if it has been, I apologize.  I'm invited some people with "and guest,"  to the wedding, if they are single and don't know many/any other guests or if they are dating.  I am inviting long term couples as couples (with both names indicated on invitation).

 My bridesmaids asked for a guest list for the shower.  From what I know, (they asked what I wanted for the shower) the shower will  include our closest male/female friends with their significant others (long-term relationships and both invited to the wedding).  'Do I give the people who I am including an unidentified  "and guest," for the wedding an "and guest" for the shower?  Hope this question makes sense.  Thank you.

  • no, it's not necessary to invite a guest to the shower.

    close friends and family only
  • Do you really want people you don't know coming to your shower???  I wouldn't.

    I agree with PPs. No need to invite the "and guests."

    I guess I would feel the exact same about the wedding!
    Best wishes to you all! :)
  • The "& guest" to a shower looks TOTALLY gift-grabby.
