Invited to Shower, Not to Wedding

My family and friends will be giving me a bridal shower. My family will invite other family members to the shower, that I am not inviting to the wedding. I will have a list of people I want at the shower.

What do I do?

    It’s rude to invite guests to a pre-wedding event, especially one that is traditionally a gift giving event. I would be firm with the individual who is hosting the shower that you do not think it is appropriate to invite these people to the shower.

    I would just either set your boundaries with the person hosting the shower or I would graciously decline the shower entirely. It's really rude to have people celebrate your wedding when they aren't invited to it.
