Speaking of shower invitations...

My FMIL and I were talking about the shower tonight.  She asked if the names of the people throwing my shower were going to be listed on the invitation.  I think this is a sweet idea, but there are 9 people throwing the shower.  My friend who is making the invitations was just going to put "hosted by family and friends".  My FMIL wasn't thrilled with this idea.  She said that any shower she has ever been invited to has listed the hostesses' names.  Whereas I don't think I've ever received an invitation that listed the names.  What do you guys think?  Is listing 9 names on the invitation a little much?

    9 names is way to many to list on an invite. My shower had about that many hostesses also and it said family and friends. No one cares to read all the names of people they probably dont know.

    I had 6 people hosting and my mom post "Hosted by Bridesmaids (K, N, N, J, A) and Mrs F....That was pushin it. So Im gunna say yes, 9 is too much

    I agree, 9 seems like too many. I think what you suggested putting should be fine in my opinion.

    I agree that 9 is too many, what about maybe a little note on the back of the invite that mentions everyone's names? That way your FMIL will be happy and the names don't take up the majority of the actual invite?

    Agree as well.  9 names is a lot!  I wouldn't put more than 2 or so on a shower invite.  Actually, if I was throwing a shower for someone, I wouldn't put my name on it at all except in the "RSVP" part.  Everyone eventually finds out who hosts anyways.

    Thanks!  I was nervous because I felt like she was really upset or offended.  I will definitely express my gratitude to everyone, I just didn't think this was necessary to do so.
