Bridal brunch (shower) guest list

Jennifer, on February 14, 2020 at 11:39 PM Posted in Parties and Events 0 5

My MOH (sister) and mom are throwing a bridal brunch for me. We aren't doing a traditional shower because FH and I aren't registering, we have lived together for years and don't need stuff. MOH has asked me for guest list and I've gotten it mostly figured out. My dilemma is FH aunts. I've met the four of them, we've been to numerous occasions and events, talked a decent amount, but for some reason I'm feeling weird putting them on the guest list. Part of me feels like I know the rest of the guest list (my family and a few friends) much better and they would be on the outside, but they would know his mom, sister, sister in law and grandma. The other part of me feels that it would be expected that they be invited, especially given that we know each other.

As I type this I feel more like I do add them, but......guess I'm just looking for some thoughts and input from you all.

    I’d extend an invitation. Better to invite them and they decline rather than not and offend them.

    Invite them. Let them decline if they do desire. No hard feelings. But if you don’t invite them that could cause some future you don’t want to deal with

    My bridal luncheon/brunch only consisted on me, my mom, my bridesmaids, my MIL, & the gramdma’s. My best friends’ (who was a BM) mom was also invited because she was a host.
    In my experience, bridal luncheons are supposed to be more intimate. If you start inviting all of the extended family, it sort of takes away from that.

    I felt the same thing. I don’t know these people why should they come. You’ll get to know them a lot more after your married and it was really important to my FH that I invite all of his aunts and cousins some of which I haven’t met. It’s better to invite them and maybe have it be a little bit awkward. This may be a better way to get to know them as well. I would invite them.
