Shower Invites for Farther Away Relatives...

I am making up a list of those I'd like to be invited to the shower, and run into a bit of an issue. I have aunts and my nana that I would love to attend, but due to distance I can almost guarantee they won't be able to come. Do I still send them invites?

    In my family, yes you invite them.  I tried talking people out of it (didn't want anyone to feel obligated or to seem gift-grabby) but was basically told that the long-distant relatives expected to be invited nonetheless.  Since they were all invited to the wedding, I asked the hostess to please invite them (5 additional invitations or about 12 people).  Was it the best thing to do etiquette-wise?  Probably not, but it kept the peace in my family and didn't bring my hostess any undo grief.

    I would ask a female relative what's typically done in your family (same for your FI's side, if necessary).  It's up to you then to decide if you are comfortable following family policy, but at least you'll have a little more info to work with.

    Ditto PP.  It depends on your family.  Have you had anyone else get married or have a baby recently for reference?
