How many guests for you shower/ bachelorette party?

So my BM got ahold of me yesterday because she was ordering stuff on Oriental Trading for her son's birthday party and was going to get some stuff for my bachelorette party just to combine the order. She asked me how many people would probably be there. I said 15-20. Is that too many? Too few? Also, it got me thinking about the bridal shower guest list and I used the handy-dandy tool on TK and I have like 50ish that would probably be invited to the shower. I have a guest list of 223 so my BM(different) said that wasn't too bad for as many guests as there are, but my cousin said that was a really high number for a shower.

When my BM asked about a shower and b-party, I made it clear that I didn't want anything fancy or expensive, so pizza or something cheap would be fine. So I don't know if the cost thing is a problem, but what does everyone think?

Also, not totally unrelated, did you guys put your foot down on some things for your b-party? Like no strippers is a big one, but my BM mentioned a tiara for me and I just said I don't want penises on it. She called me a prude! I just would want to have it in my house and not feel like I have to hide it from my 9yo future step daughter. Was I out of line?

    I'm not having a bachelorette party so I can't help you there. Although, trying to organize 20 girls for a night out sounds like quite an undertaking. I will end up having two bridal showers since my FMIL and two FSILs (who are also bridesmaids) threw me a surprise shower on the East Coast when we were visiting over the holidays and my mom is hosting one out here for my family and friends out here. I think there were about 20 women at my East Coast shower and will be somewhere between 20-30 at my West Coast shower. 50 seems like it may be a challenge to host space wise but if that is not an issue, I don't see how it would be a problem, provided everyone invited to the shower (and bachelorette party) are invited to the wedding. I don't blame you for saying no strippers or penis tiaras. That kind of stuff is not everyone's cup of tea and isn't the point of the night to have fun? I wouldn't want to be embarassed like that.

    I'm having three showers. The first has 25 invited, the second has 36 invited, and the third will probably have about 40 invited. It's all about how many guests your host is willing to accommodate.

    My bachelorette party will have a guest list of 9, but likely only 7 will attend.

    The hosts of your shower need to get together and decide how many people they can afford to host, then let you know the number that they can accommodate.  Depending on that, 50 may be too many.
