Bridal shower guest list

That’s a lot of women. I’m just inviting my bridal party and my closest female family members.

If I invited all the women it would be more than a hundred women.

I believe my mother and aunt invited close friends, close relatives and their coworkers who have known me for 20+ years. I got to add a few of my coworkers to the list as well. I will know everyone at my shower. Sometimes you don't even know people on your wedding guest list because they may be parents friends or grandparents friends. I always envisioned that a shower is for those close to you.

Not every female needs to be invited. I for one only invited my close friends

Not every woman on the guest list has to be invited but I do know Brides that have invited all of the women they plan to invite to their wedding. However I will say this that if she is hosting I think it is more of her call. Although you are not wrong to maybe just have some women there but I know that I was invited to a friend's wedding but not any of the pre-wedding events that may make me feel a little odd apartment of bachelorette party because that can be a smaller group.

Only the closest women in my life are going to be at my bridal shower, about 30 friends and family

We’re inviting everyone, but our wedding is small and involves lots of long-distance guests so even if everyone came it’d be a reasonable number of people. But that’s absolutely not a requirement. I’ve been to very small showers and very large ones, so it’s whatever you and the hostess are comfortable with.

The bride is typically in charge of the guest list, no matter who is hosting. Showers should be reserved for your nearest and dearest. We invited our closest friends and family.

We are not inviting everyone on the guest list to my shower. That would be too many people. I think we will have around 20 or so people attending. Mostly close friends and family members.

We had a couples shower and invited all of our parents, siblings and close relatives. Uncles, aunts, cousins. We had about 20-25 guests.

I believe my mom is inviting the bridal party, my aunts, my grandma, FH's grandma and sister. I think we counted and decided it was going to be around 20 people.

I think it just depends on how many people she’s willing to invite and host.
My sister is hosting my bridal shower and my future mother-in-law and I just had a conversation about who to invite yesterday.

I am inviting all the women on my side of the family, and most of the women on my fiancé’s side of the family (the only exception being his family members who live out of state, or family members I’ve never met.) I am also not inviting female wedding guests like the girlfriends of my fiancé’s friends.
Other than those exceptions, I am inviting almost all the women on my guest list, but I definitely don’t expect all my friends to come — I know that bridal showers can sometimes just be a little boring or awkward. So I don’t want them to feel obligated to come play a couple of games and watch me open up gifts 😂
But again, as long as I’m not hosting or paying, I am perfectly fine with anyone on the guest list being invited!

I'm doing all the females from my half of the list and a couple of my FH's female relatives that I'm close to which puts my shower guest list at about 25. Luckily (in this case) I have a fairly small family and more male friends than female so inviting almost all the females wasn't a huge list for me. I definitely would not have invited all the girls if it was a longer list

I'm having my bridal shower this saturday, and I invited my coworkers, family close friends. Came out to be about 90 people which is a lot but only about 50% of them will show up I think so far about 40 people have RSVP'D. Also most of them aren't going to the wedding because it's in Mexico.

Even if she is the one hosting, it is generally the bride who provides the guest list for the shower. One shouldn't invite people to the shower who aren't invited to the wedding, because then they will expect to be invited, so hopefully your FMIL knows this. My sister (MOH) is throwing my shower this weekend, and I did not invite every woman invited to my wedding. A couple girlfriends of my fiancé's friends I left out because I don't really know them and I thought they might feel uncomfortable. I am having a small wedding as well, but if I had a bigger one, I probably wouldn't have invited women who we weren't close to. I hope this helps in any way!
