Bridal Shower STRESS

in Wedding Invitations & Paper

Here is the story: I originally didn't want a bridal shower. Due to the fact that 98% of my friends and family live in Missouri, Arizona and Michigan. We are getting married in California and I know for a fact only family would travel to join us. So I figured if they are not going to be able to make the wedding in California (we live in Missouri), why have a shower? Its rude to invite to the shower but not the wedding. But my maid of honor is telling me otherwise. She is saying that my friends will understand that they won't be able to travel to Cali for it and I should still have a shower in Missouri. My mom thinks if I have a bridal shower, I should still invite my friends in Missouri to the wedding even though we know they won't go. What do I do??!? Aggghhh!!!

    The shower might be a great opportunity to celebrate with people who won't be there on the big day. Have a shower in Missouri, but comport with the expected formality of sending all shower guests a wedding invitation.

    It's not rude to invite people to the shower if you plan on inviting them to the wedding. If they can't make it to the wedding, that's not on you. So if you want a shower in MO, let your MOH host a shower in MO. Just make sure you still invite everyone to the wedding. 

    But yeah, if you aren't sending these friends wedding invitations, you should not be inviting them to a shower.

    Your mother is correct.  Anyone invited to a shower MUST be invited to the wedding, whether or not you think they actually will come.
