June 2012 Weddings

Bridal Shower

Hey Ladies, 

My bridal Shower is May 6. My Bridesmaid (who is leading out for my 15 year old MOH) is asking me to work on my list. I have a list which I worked started on in December. The trouble is who to invite and who not to invite. 
How did you decided who to invite at your bridal shower?

  • My aunt is hosting along with my MOH sister and I gave them a list of all the women invited to the wedding (minus a few that are co-workers of FI and I don't really know)

  • You can invite anyone you want to. Just make sure who ever you invite is invited to the wedding.

    I invited family and friends who I am close to.

  • You are suppose to invite every woman that is inviting to the wedding. There are a few exceptions. Like of your cousin has a new gf that you haven't even met than I wouldn't invite her.

  • I invited all of my family members being invited to the wedding - mom, grandma, aunts, great aunts, and cousins; my close friends and then my mom's friends, as well as FMIL and FSIL and two coworkers.
  • I invited all women I'm related to and my female friends.  FMIL is having a shower for the women on FI's side.  I didn't invite people like my dad's friend's wives.

  • The list I gave my BMs included almost every woman invited to the wedding.  That said, we are only inviting immediate family (through first cousins) and very close friends to the wedding in the first place.  Personally, I think that's basically who should be invited - immediate family, close friends.  Women who would otherwise qualify as "and guest" really don't need an invite to the shower, and if you're inviting any of your parent's friends, unless you're also very close with them, there's really no need.

  • My mom and I worked on our list together. We just invited any women in the family and close female friends. Inviting every woman on the list for our guest list would just be absurd.

  • Mine is the women in both of our families and close female friends.  It's definitely not every woman on the list but where we're only having the one shower it is the women in both of our families.
  • I worked with my sister, aunt, and mom on the list. It really is just women in our family and a few close family friends. My friends are having me a shower so I did not include them on my family shower list. Work will also have something for me so I did not include those ladies.

  • I invited most of the women that are invited to the wedding. The only women not invited are ones out of state
  • I invited pretty much all of the women on the wedding list (minus the far away OOTers).  I also didn't invite the gf's of FI's cousins because they are still fairly new and will probably address them as guest on the wedding invitation.  I also didn't invite FI's boss' wives.  I've only met one and I've never met the other boss, nevermind his wife. 
  • Women in my family, FI's family, my close friends, and my mom and FI's mom's close friends. We're definitely not inviting every woman invited to the wedding...that would be insane for us!

    I'm inviting all the females who I have a relationship with and are invited to the wedding.  For example, my boss's wife, though I know her and met her a few times, we're not close so she won't be invited.  I'm doing it that way to keep it manageable for the hosts.

  • I only included people I am pretty close to.   (not my coworker's wifes or my FI's coworkers, or my FI's cousin's GF who I only met once, or my parent''s friend who I haven't seen in 10 years)
