Unfortunately since we are footing the bill we can't invite everyone that we'd like to the wedding. People however still want to be included. Is it okay to invite people to the bridal shower whom we do not intend to invite to the wedding?
I don't think it's ok because I know that if I had gone to a shower and then did not receive a wedding invitation I would be hurt. I'd think that it's kind of presumed that those who are celebrating your preparation for marriage would be there for your wedding as well.
Do not invite people to the shower that aren't invited to the wedding. As much as you want these people to share in your celebration, which is understandable, it's just not proper etiquette.
No, that's just rude to invite someone to the shower and not the wedding.
I would never invite someone to my bridal shower who was not invited to my wedding and I also wouldn't want to be invited to someone's shower if I wasn't invited to their wedding. That's just my opinion and I don't think it's proper etiquette but I could be wrong.
I agree....not okay.
absolutely NOT. Even though you have good intentions, how would you feel if you were invited to someones shower and not their wedding?
not a good idea. They may wonder if they did something wrong at your shower to make you NOT invite them to your wedding

You can't do that. It's rude and tacky. You can, however, have a small get together after your HM for all those you could not invite to the formal wedding.
Yeah, I didn't think it would be proper either just wanted to double check to see what the protocol was. Thanks ladies.
