Bridal shower

There are some family memebers that were added to the wedding invite list. There is a shower coming up but they were not sent invitations because originally the list was smaller. Should they get a call inviting them to the shower or just let it be becasue there wouldn't be enough time to send out invites. Didn't want to exclude anyone and they do live in the area.

  • Just let it be.  They will know they weren't originally invited and would probably feel like you want a gift from them more than their presence.

  • Ditto PP.  Not every guest needs to be invited to the shower.

  • Just let it be.  They'd probably just think it was a smaller shower, many showers are small.  Better off that way than they get a last min invite and think they were just invited for a gift.
  • Okay good. I agree. The last reason I want them there is for a gift. I'm sure they'd know it wasn't about that but yes although I'd love to see them at my shower, it means even more to me that I see them on my wedding day. I feel at peace now with this! Thank you for the input.
