co-host shower invite question

My mother has said numerous times that she is very excited to throw my shower, which is fine. I'm very grateful to have one. She loves one of my bridesmaid's parents (my little brothers girlfriend's parents that is) and wants to make that girls mother the co-host in my shower. I'm fine with this, but this means I should also include this girls parents on our invitation list, right? She also talked about hiring a friend of hers to do the catering. Do I need to invite that person too even though I don't really know her? Can I request that she include my bridemaids in the planning or should I just stay out of it?

    If your mom's friend co-hosts the shower, she and her husband should be invited to your wedding and reception. Anyone who is invited to the shower should be invited.

    If the caterer is being paid, you do not have to invite her to the ceremony. I will assume that she will be at the reception, since she is catering. If she is giving your mom a discount, you should consider giving her a courtesty invitation. She will probably be too busy preparing for the reception to attend the ceremony.

    Make sure your mom has the bms contact information and vice versa. Other than that, I would let your mother decide if she would like to ask them if they want to help out.

    She was planning on paying that person that does catering to just cater food for the shower only. I won't know if she is doing it for a discount till sometime in March or April when the shower might be (our STDs are going out now).

    I am inviting my BM's parents that my mother said she would recruit to help with organizing and planning the shower.  :)
