I wondered the same thing so I asked FH what he wanted me to do...he said to invite them and worst case they dont come. Better safe than sorry...
Just my opinion: I think of it how would I feel getting an invitation in the mail for my fiance's friend's fiance. I would probably be more excited not to get one. Showers are so intimate and when you don't know anyone they can be uncomfortable. I personally would not get offended if I did not get one.
I would definitely invite them. I would feel excited thinking you want them to be a part of it.
i invited my FH groomsman wives but i am very friendly with them. I talk with them alot outside of our get togethers. i think its better to invite and have them say no if they dont want to come.
if FH were a groomsmen, I'd probably feel bad if I weren't invited..you're involving their DH's...no harm in extended invite
I'm not inviting his friend's wife. I see them maybe 3 times a year. (if that) He only has one friend in his party and the rest are family so I think it would be awkward for her to attend not knowing anyone else there.
i say invite them. you don't want them to feel left out. worse case scenario they say no

We invited our groomsmens wives and gf's. Not many of them came anyway
i would definitely invite them - although not directly, they are still a big part of your special day. let them decide if they want to come.
In my opinion while the bridal shower is all about the bride, I still look at it as being for the bride AND groom. Just because he isn't there playing games or opening gifts, everyone is there for the two of you. I would DEF invite Groomsmen's wives. They are in YOUR bridal party, not just FH's.

yup invite them
I would say to invite them. My FH is a groomsman in his best friend's wedding, and even though I'm not that close with his FW, and they live in Boston, I'd feel a little bit slighted if they didn't invite me to her bridal shower. My mom has already made it clear that she plans on inviting all of the ladies that are invited to the wedding, and I don't have a say in that, so whatevs. I obv won't be offended if people reply 'no' and don't send a gift, especially if they aren't close to me. I think it's just hard to draw lines and invite some people and not others, especially if someone who is invited is related to someone who isn't.
Thanks everyone! My plan was to invite them, just didn't want them to feel forced or uncomfortable! I told FH that if any of the guys say anything to just tell them its optional and that I wouldn't be upset or anything!
I was wondering the same thing... but about FMIL's 20 female friends I have a feeling she will want to invite them but honestly I wouldn't even be able to pick them out of a crowd and I will feel weird with them at my shower.
i would invite them because their husbands are in your wedding...its showing them respect and that you care
