so im trying to make my guestlist for my shower, and im getting so confused
should we invite ffil's work ppl? what about people i absolutely know will not come? 1 girl in fh's group lives in arizona, so she wont come, but were inviting every other girl-do we invite her too?

Me too ... I definitely don't think you need to invite FFIL's work people.

So am I, my mom even cut some of her own friends. She also wanted it just family and very close friends. I invited FH's mom, sister, aunts and female cousins that live in NY and have to be invited. If they were people FH doesn't really talk to I didn't include them.

Re: shower guestlist
Guest list are hard I think! I have a huge family and my FH has a tiny one. For my shower they will basically invite any girl invited to the wedding because of how close my family and friends are. Sometimes though if it gets extended to work people and FMIL work people I would cut that off. It's really your call

Re: shower guestlist
if you invite them to the shower you gotta invite them to the wedding
also i would send an invite out to everyone even if you are 100 sure they wont come. its the thought that counts, and maybe they would be intrested in sending you a gift off your registry!

ITA... I am not inviting girlfriends or wives of our male friends unless we're close. I tried to keep it more intimate, but big enough... around 60 ppl

Re: shower guestlist
I was wondering about this actually...when going over my guestlist for the shower I was surprised to find that this would mean inviting 70 ppl!

Re: shower guestlist
if ffil's coworkers are people he's close to and want you to invite them then yes, as for the girl in arizona it would be nice to extend the invite even if she doesnt come

Re: shower guestlist
I am only inviting family and friends. Check with FFIL and see if he thinks those people should be invited. Inviting the girl in AZ is a tough situation, because if you don't and she finds out everyone else was invited she may feel offended, but if you do she may think you are just asking for a gift. I would not invite her, I think she was understand why she wasn't invited.

Re: shower guestlist
I might not invite ffil's work friends, especially if they aren't paying for it.
I know some of my mom's work friends will be invited, but she's paying for the shower.
don't worry about people thinking you just want gifts...most people like showers and want to go anyway!!

Re: shower guestlist
To keep the #'s down I'm only inviting family and immediate family friends. Nobody from my work or his work. And no FMIL's friends who i've met once.

Re: shower guestlist
Iam inviting all the woman who will be invited to the wedding. I know many won't come and that's fine. I would rather send the invite though and not feel like we are leaving anyone out.
