Coed Bridal Shower

Hello, I'm struggling with etiquette on my shower. My MOH suggested having a more casual coed shower, backyard grilling style, which my fianc and I really like. But when I went to make our guest list, I'm at about twice her goal of 20 people with just the obligatory invites immediate families, bridal parties and sig others. I know that this is a financial investment on her part, and I don't want to strain that. But I'm also nervous about slighting somebody that will feel hurt if they aren't invited. How should I approach this?

    I don't think  there's a polite way to ask your MOH to host more guests than she has offered. Do you think she is set on having a coed shower or was that an option that she offered? You could mention to her that you think a women only shower would work best in your situation because of your large 'must invite' list.

    I agree that you can't really ask your MOH to double her guest list. I would probably approach her and say, "I love your idea for a co-ed shower. However, we wouldn't be able to invite all of our families and WP members if we did it that way and keep it under 20. I think a women-only shower might be best, so no one feels slighted/left out."

    Then she either says OK and let's do women-only OR maybe she decides to extend the number of guests. Either would be fine. I highly doubt she'd be anti-women only once you explain why it would work better.

    I'm doing multiple showers to accommodate all the people. Several people asked to do a shower and that's what is going to be.
