Who to invite to which bridal shower? (having multiple)

So my MOH (and mom) is planning a bridal shower for close family and friends. I was just told that my Fiance's best friends mom wanted to throw a bridal shower for me also. I've met her many times but we're by no means close. Essentially, my fiance grew up with her son so she's seen him grow up. So, I'm trying to figure out who to invite to her shower and who to invite to the other shower.

First, is it okay to invite really close people to both showers? Example: my bridesmaids, FMIL, FSIL, etc.

Second, I did invite other friends of my fiance to the wedding - but I'm not super close with them. But, the person who is throwing the shower is. Should I just stick to inviting those girls to that specific wedding shower?

Thanks for the help!

    Have you spoken directly with Fiance's best friend's mother? Until she contacts you, don't do or say anything. When she does contact you ask her what she is thinking re the guest list and the number of guests. She may already have ideas of making it co-ed for instance. It probably would be more appropriate to invite fiance's friends to this second shower.

    A general rule is that you don't invite the same people to more than one shower- other than the BM's and the Moms. Even then, I would make it clear to the BM's that you do not want them to buy gifts, that you are inviting them so the other guests can meet your bridal party.

    First of all you do not invite people to more than one shower. If your mother and BM’s attend please specify that they are not to contribute or bring gifts. As for the second shower has this person contacted you regarding the shower or is it just something you heard? If she has contacted you I would ask her who she plans on inviting, what her thoughts are etc. You can always decline the second shower and only have one inviting those people she was thinking on inviting to the first shower. Please do not invite anyone to the shower that is not invited to the wedding. The only time this is not rude is if it is co-workers throwing a shower at work
    or a church group.
