I have a really good friend who is getting married in December. She has been an amazing friend this past year. Beyond there for me through a few tough things and super supportive of all the changes going on in mine and FI's life. I regret that I had already picked my bridesmaids and she wasn't one of them. She's been a lot more involved in my wedding than most of my BM (especially one that I wish I could just swap them out!). So anyways to thank her for being so incredible and helpful and just a truly outstanding person, I was thinking instead of getting her something, I could throw her a shower before her wedding but wanted some feedback.
I was thinking it would be fun to do a dessert and champagne party and do it specific for lingerie. She comes from a huge family and I'm pretty sure someone will cover a traditional shower. I just know I would have loved a lingerie shower because it is so fun and girly!
Issue...FI and I are moving into a new place pretty soon and it isn't that big for entertaining. So would it be okay to offer the shower in sort of this theme of lingerie but say I can only accomodate 15-20 guests? The catch with this is she has 12 bridesmaids (she is the oldest of 5 girls so it was never going to be a small wedding). Her and I have been friends from high school and have the same crowd so would it be okay to do a high school friends shower plus include her bridesmaids? Or do I just say 20 people and let her decide who it is? I'd love to do more but we just don't have the room. I'm thinking she can always decline it if it just isn't feasible.
