what about FH's friends dates? FH and i were just talking about this...b/c i literally only have like 2 girlfriends (who are both in my BP)...okay maybe 3 (but the 3rd lives in Italy and i will be happy if she makes it for the wedding) i know...very sad. i have a feeling that my friends from work might not show (they usually do showers at work)...so FH was like, 'well you can invite so and so's gf, and so and so's wife'...but i just thought that was weird. what are you girls doing about this?

---

i was invited to FH's co-worker's fiance's shower. i couldn't make it, but if i didn't have something else to do i had planned on going.

i didn't think it was weird.

everything snuck up on me really fast so I had to make my list quick. I forgot to add my fh friend's wives. OOPS

i am not sure if that is the etiquette in some emily post book but that is not what i am following lol

only family, close friends and close coworkers
i have been to showers with less than 20 people but the bride had a wedding with about 200 so i know thats not the case - and i have never been invited to a shower for FH's side that wasnt family, even if i went to the wedding

Ok, so my sister ask's me to compile a list with addresses of people I would like at my shower.

Im having a problem, how do you know when to draw the line, who do you invite, who do you not invite!? People from work?, All Family right?

-Confused!!!

---

I just experienced the very same thing. We decided that it would be best to invite only close family and friends and save all aquanitences and coworkers, etc. to invite to the wedding...it helped and then no one will feel excluded either...hope it works out for you...it really is confusing

---

Yeah, I wouldnt invite EVERY female invited to the wedding. My ex's friend got married, I was invited to the shower for a girl I'd never even met.

PFFT! I didn't go AND I didnt send a gift b/c I totally felt like they were just asking for one.

i'm inviting all the ladies on my guest list.

I have met basically all of them, and the ones i havent met are my FMIL's best friends. So they are invited.

LOL i wouldn't have either!

i feel like the shower is supposed to be people that the bride loves surrounding her and 'showering her with gifts'

this IMO shouldnt include your dad's coworkers wife or FH's HS buddy's GF

I agree. Plus, you gotta realize that most people hate going to showers. Its only fun for the bride and the ppl close to her. Otherwise its like 4 hours of hell.
