My question is: are they obligated to reach out to FMIL for a guest list? If it's anything like her wedding guest list I am sure the shower list will include another 20-25 ladies. Not sure if they will all come from NJ, but you can never tell!
I dont want my BMs and sis spending a tremendous amount of $$, especially on people that I dont even know. Is this rude? Or is it customary that FMIL will throw her own shower with her own friends.
What do you think? Thanks!

For my shower only FH's close female relatives were invited since the list would've been to big if we let FMIL have her way. I would just invite FH's close female relatives not every single female guest that was invited to the wedding.

It's appropriate for them to reach out to your FMIL to ask for a guest list. However, they can ask that she limit it to x number of guests or just to family.

I agree with this too. I gave my mom my master guest list, minus a few names, and then she can narrow it down from there. As for FH's family, my mom will speak with FMIL about who is necessary and who's not.

Re: Bridal Shower Question
I plan to include FH's closest female relatives on the guest list I give my MOH's and mom. If they let FMIL invite people, my shower will go from 50 women to 100 and I can't let that happen.
And if they were to tell her to limit the number of guests, she'll take forever to give them a list. I've been waiting for 3 months for her guest list for the wedding.
So in my situation, it's best for me to include FH's family in my list.
