My mom has me doing my own shower invites, (lol don't ask, she is lazy) anyways, I'm not sure if I should invite a bunch of FH's aunts that live out of country just as a courtesy. They will be coming to the wedding, but I figure they might want to send something since they won't fly in for the shower. FH's mom says she's not sure what the proper thing to do is.... any advice?

Re: Shower Invites
I personally wouldn't send a shower invite to people out of the country. It may look like you are looking for a gift even though you aren't. Its invitation and you know they won't be able to attend so I would just leave it at that.

Re: Shower Invites
if they lived close by would you invite them? If so, then send them an invitation.
I wouldn't invite someone just so they could send a gift.

Re: Shower Invites
Oh its not just for a gift. They are FH's sister and they are really close, they just live out of country, some of them used to live close but now they don't. I just thought they'd appreciate the invite and the gift part is just getting the registry info. FH's mom just wants to send them an 'email' instead - I thought that is silly.

Re: Shower Invites
i would send one..sometimes i think people just want to know u r thinking ofthem and that u wish u could be there...i mean if they were going to give a gift for the shower i think they would have sent one regardless if they got an invite..another country is a long way to send a gift

Re: Shower Invites
If they are invited to the wedding, they should be invited to the shower.. they probably wont go, but I would invite them, JMO
