Who to invite to Bridal Shower

My girlfriends are throwing a bridal shower for me, and also a bachelorette party. I am having a hard time compiling a list for the shower. I have been reading that you should invite all the women to the shower that are attending  the wedding. From others experience is this accurate? I will not invite everyone to the bachelorette party. I will add that yes, every woman that would be invited to the shower would be invited to the wedding.
Thanks

    No, not every woman invited to the wedding needs to be invited to the wedding, but every woman invited to the shower must be invited to the wedding. First, ask your friends how many they can host, then pick your close family and friends that fit.

    I think, more accurately, you can't invite anyone to the bridal shower that you're not also inviting to the wedding.

    I think the bridal shower should be your female relatives and close friends. You just don't want it to be huge. However, the invites will be sent out by your girlfriends, so it also comes down to how many people they are willing to host. Good luck and enjoy your parties!

    Ok. I did ask the ladies how much space we are working with, they keep saying don't worry about it. That makes me really worried. I am also worried because there will be some women that I would invite that don't really know others.

    These massive 50 or 60 women showers are ridiculous, IMHO. I agree with @keptinstitches and @lwoehlk that first and foremost, it should be only your close friends and family, and then up to the hostess limit.

    Don't invite every woman, unless they are your nearest and dearest. I think that showers should be 30 people max. I think anything more makes it miserable as a guest.

    Your friends, sisters, FMIL, FSIL, grandmothers, aunts, or just anyone that you are close to.

    No.  The rule is that all guests at the shower must also be invited to the wedding, but not that every wedding guest must also be invited to the shower.

    I think a bridal shower should only include our close girlfriends who are within our age range. I agree that all those who were invited in the shower must be invited in the wedding too but not all women invited in the wedding need to be invited in the shower as well. Around 20-30 guests are fine enough to celebrate the shower.
