Bridal Shower

Who do you invite to the bridal shower? We have people who are invited to the wedding who live out of town. I'm sure they won't come out here twice within a few months, but do I still need to invite them? Do I invite the wives of FI friends that I don't know very well? and, do I invite family from FI's side who live in town, that I don't really know, when his mother will not be attending because she lives out of town? I guess it doesn't hurt to invite all the women who are invited to the wedding and let them decide if they want to come. I just don't want people at the shower I don't know. I kind of expect it at the wedding, with people from FI work, but think it'd be awkward at the shower. I wanted to see what you ladies did or what you would suggest doing. TIA!

    As long as they are invited to the wedding, you can invite them.  And for the most part they should be people you know pretty well----more your friends/family than his unless it is his family hosting the shower (that is how I feel anyways).  If there are some members of his family you have met and would feel comfortable inviting you could do that. I wouldn't invite all the women that are invited to the wedding though----it is intended to be a more intimate gathering of friends/family, at least that is how I understand it.  In general, I think t is supposed to be people closer to the bride. There are no other rules of ettiquette (sp?) I think except that they are also invited to the wedding.

    If you don't feel comfortable having strangers at your shower I would forgo inviting them, it would seem more gift grabby to me. Just keep it to your friends and all family you have met before.
