Who to invite to shower

I am having 2 showers, one my mom and sisters (BMs) are throwing me that we only invited family to at my request (huge family so we are expecting about 50 people).  My other BM, friend, is throwing me a "friends" shower for our friends.  My question is should I invite my mother and the groom's mother and sisters to this shower?

Re: Who to invite to shower

  • i would day yes.  it is customary to invite the mothers to all showers
  • It's customary for the mothers to be invited to both, if you want, and of course your sisters as well.

    Having said that, if you think you'd rather not have the moms at the friend shower (depending on the vibe), then you don't HAVE to invite them. But it's a nice gesture.
  • I think it depends on if the Friends shower is more of a bachorlette party.  I would find out what kind of vibe that shower is then decide.  I would not want to invite my mom or future mother in law to a shower that is more of a bachorlette party kind of shower.  That being said I have seen people invite there moms and future mother in laws to bachorlette parties and such it really depends on your relationship with the two moms.
