Moms are funny. My mom already booked mine and bought the favors and has a theme. I didn't even do that for my wedding yet. She keeps asking FH about the dreaded list. We are inviting alll women invited to te wedding from my side and FH still has to give us his list.
We're not inviting all the women invited to the wedding b/c I wanted a more intimate shower--and with just aunts and first cousins and a few friends it will be about 40 people....so I think that's enough for me! meanwhile my mom and dad are inviting their first cousins to the wedding, but not to the shower....

I know! I got a text from her tonight that said - Call me re: shower. More to think about!LOL Wow your mom is really organized - I haven't done any of that stuff either!!
Thanks for the input! I don't think I have to worry about FH's side - just his mom and maybe grandma. Everyone else is out of state - so I can invite but they most likely won't attend.
Here's another Q - do you still send invites even though you know there is know way the person will attend? I'm thinking yes but not sure!
That sounds nice - I love when you have a small close group. Looking at my list I think we will be around 40 as well. That makes for a perfect crowd and I won't feel overwhelmed - saving that for the big day! Thanks for sharing :)

I am sending invites to OOT because I don't want them to get offended if someone tells them they received an invited. I was very up in the air about this because I don't want them to think I sent them an invite for a gift knowing they couldn't come. Oh well. I don't care anymore if people's feelings get hurt. I am doing what I think is right.
