Skipping the Bridal Shower?

I have a very small group of close girlfriends and female family members.  I come up with about ten people I would invite to a shower. I'm thinking because the group is so small and don't all know each other well that I would skip all together.  Do you think it's ok not to have one??

    You don't even have to worry about it unless someone offers to host a shower for you and asks for your input, and if they do it can be whatever you want.  It's fine to skip it.  It's fine for it to be a small gathering.  It's also fine for it to be a "couples" shower where instead of it being just ladies, guests can attend as couples and bring "manly" type gifts like tool sets for the groom in addition to kitchen/registry type items for the bride.

    Whoever said it was supposed to be happily ever after is a big fat liar.

    DItto PP. You shouldn't plan your own shower so it's not up to you to decide if you're having one or not or who to invite.  DOn't worry yourself over this.

    Like the girls said, you don't plan your shower so you don't need to worry about this BUT for the record, I think a small shower would still be fun!

    I've told all my friends I don't want a shower. If guests choose to bring a gift to the wedding then that's great. But I really just rather have them come and enjoy the celebration.
