Shower invites???

This is my second wedding but my fiance's first so we are having a fairly big wedding but still trying to keep it smaller due to cost.  I am only inviting my immediate family and grandparents and some close friends to the wedding.  So my question is who do I invite to the shower?  Since my aunts and cousins are not invited to the wedding I don't feel like I should invite them to the shower because I don't want to seem gift grabby but I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings by not inviting them!  What would you do?  (My first wedding was seven years ago)

    You right, you shoudn't invite anyone to the shower unless they are invited to the wedding because it does look gift grabby. 

    You don't have to have a shower either and you definitely shouldn't be throwing your own. If one of your friends offers, just provide them with a list of those women invited to the wedding.

    The only people the hostess (not you) should invite to a shower are those invited to the wedding.  It sounds like it should be more people on your FI's side along with your immediate family.

    Ok it seems that I was thinking right.  I am not throwing myself a shower!  It seems everyone thinks that is what I meant.  I just wanted to know for when the hostess asked me for a list of ladies to invite.
