    My gut instinct is to say yes, generally all the moms are invited to all the showers just like the BP girls are invited to all showers. 

    That said I didn't include my mom on the b-party guest list because I was going out drinking with my girls and that's not the kind of relationship I have with my mom.  Is it really a couples shower or is it more of a joint b-party?  will you be having other older guests like aunts and uncles?  Is it only friends your guys' age?  I've never been to a couples shower, only a couples b-party (although actually they had all the parents there anyway...) so it just depends on the vibe of the event and if you think your moms would be comfortable I guess.

    The mothers of the bride and groom should be invited to all showers.

    Is there bad blood? That my affect my answer. A lot of people get along fine in casual situations, but others, not so much. 

    My mom is not in the picture (never really has been) and my stepmom and I do not speak, literally, so I'm leaving that up to my MOH. She can invite her, and she probably will, but my stepmom probably will not come.

    No i'm not hosting my own shower my MOH ran into this roadblock because of the tension between my mom and step mom and simply to keep confusion down we were all thinking that maybe the mothers shouldn't be invited at all. But thanks for your input ladies it helps a lot!
