Ladies,

I was just asked by my sister and one of my bm's for a list! Can you believe it? I know that somewhere has already been booked (I overheard my sister). So scary... things are getting closer.

Ok, now to my question... do I have to invite girlfriends of FI's friends that are in the wedding? I am not close to some of these women but am not sure if they should still be invited. Advice??

Right now our list is at 200 people. A bunch of my friends live out of state and the rest I am inviting out of obligation.

Thanks for your help ladies!

if you have nothing against them or any particular dislike, I would extend the invite. it's a nice gesture, and guarantees there are no hurt feelings.

I totally agree

ENJOY HOLLIE! You deserve a great time! Have who you wish to have!

When we put together our guest list, I asked FH, my mother and my FMIL to make a list for people THEY would want to come to my shower. I added those names to MY list and have the whole thing ready to go when they ask for it. My BP has very busy people and the last thing they need to do is harrass people for addresses. My MOH's are actually thankful I did that for them. I just sent them each a BP phone list so they can coordinate dates and times. My brother's teenaged daughters are bridesmaids and because they are children of divorce, they are only available every other weekend. I made sure the adults were aware of this so they could choose a date when they could be a part of it.

In regards to your FH's ex, I would not invite her! Remember not everyone that is invited to the wedding needs to be invited to the shower...In my family, the shower is composed of close family & friends...dates or wives of groomsmen do not need to be invited...

That is exciting though to know it is coming up!

my list for the shower is approximately 35 people...

you invite people that you're close to. fmil was surprised a friend of hers wasn't invited. i don't know the person. i also went over the list with fh, he said it looks good. he told me not to worry about it.
