I am trying to finish my bridal shower list and FH and I are having a disagreement over who should come. I had invited his GM/BM's significant others. I do not hang out with these girls. We talk on facebook, never on the phone. They have come to my birthday parties, I have come to theirs. What do you think?? Invite yes or no?? I don't want to look like I am looking for presents I just thought it would be nice to have them there.
TIA

YES! FH best friends brother got married last saturday. Dave is like a brother to him, I was really sort of hurt when his wife didnt invite me to the shower. I might not have been able to make it but an invite would have been nice. I just think its polite and I know when it comes to mine I will invite our GM significant others even if i dont know them well.

invite them. always extend the invitation out to them. if u dont, they might be offended. if they dont want to come, they wont. leave the ball in their court.

Re: Need some advice
ya thats what i was gonna say....especially if you've met them and they've come to ur BDAYS!!!!
if you never met them, then it would look like fishing for a gift....
i jus had this convo w/FH...i told him, wives of his friends that i have never even met the GUYS (work contacts, etc) im definitely not inviting the women!!! they probably wouldnt even kno who the heck was even inviting them to a shower!! LOL
but any girls that i know and have even a semi relationship with, ill invite, cuz otherwise like Barbara said, it might offend them if u dont...

Re: Need some advice
Thanks girls!! I knew I could count on you... FH is so funny. He says 'why don't you ask those girls?'
I honestly might be leanings towards no. You're not doing a jack and jill shower right? When they came to your bday, they came with their FH's so I guess I probably think that if I'm not on the level where I'm hanging out with someone 1 on 1, then I wouldn't invite them.
And I'm thinking that last year, my FH was in a bridal party. Before the wedding, I had met the bride once (this was also for 5 minutes). If I got invited to the shower, I would have been like HUH? I wouldn't have even recognized her name.. but I realize that your situation is different.
I would invite them if the BM or any of the GM's are his brothers or even a cousin. I guess it's different than if it's a friend b/c you'll be seeing them at all the holidays and family functions and probably see them more often. Also depends on how long they've been dating their girls, how long you know them. If you invite 1, do you have to invite them all?

Re: Need some advice
I would invite them - I plan to invite all of FH friend's significant others... I dont hang out with them all of the time but I do see them at most social gatherings - so I say yes.
