A woman from my church, a close family friend, recently offered to throw me a wedding shower. She said that there is a group of women at church who would love to celebrate with me! I come from a church that is very close- most of these people have watched me grow up. However, some of the women that she is wanting to invite to this shower are not invited to the wedding.
Now, I know that the general rule for a shower is that people who are not invited to the wedding should never be invited to a shower. I looked at the official "etiquette" for showers, however, and it says that the exception to the rule is a work shower, where everyone from work would be invited. Also, these women have specifically stated that they want to take part in sharing in this celebration.
The questions is, does this fall under the "work shower" category? Or does it not count since not everyone at my church is invited? Will they be expecting a wedding invitation if they're invited to the shower, even though it's a special church shower?
I know there may not be an exact right or wronge answer, I'm just looking for opinions! Thanks everyone!
