Surprise Bridal Shower- WWYD?

silverkat143

Hi Ladies.. I usually don't come onto this board but I'm not sure what the proper thing to do is..   My fsil is throwing me a "surprise" bridal shower but my fh let it slip because he isn't sure who I want to invite.
My question is.. who all do I invite? What is the "proper" thing to do? Do I invite ALL the women invited to the wedding or ALL the relatives on both sides?

Is it like a baby shower where you need to invite the aunt you see once a year because it's the "proper" thing to do?

F.Y.I. --- My fsil is only 19 she is my bm but she's never done this before and it's not like I can ask her and my fmil is no help.. lol

TIA

You don't have to invite all the women invited to the wedding to the shower.  But all the women invited to the shower must be invited to the wedding.

Typically the shower is women who you and your FI are closest to, not necessarily every single woman that's invited to the wedding.  Remember though that anyone invited to the shower must be invited to the wedding.
