Bridal shower

Oh that sounds lovely!

Thanks everyone, the wedding is small, so even if every woman from the wedding comes its still only 15-20 people so were thinking just a small gathering at my parents house will do 😁

Hi Jessica, Are you excited for the Bridal shower? For some inspiration you can take a look at this discussions: Bridal Cover-Ups - Bridal shower gifts - Bridal shower invites. I hope they can help. How many people are you inviting?

My cousin is throwing me a bridal shower that is more intimate and is with my family. It will be hosted at her house and my cousins side of the family is more conservative as well. Two of my bridesmaids will also be throwing me a shower and it will be bigger with friends and my fiance's side of the family. I would only invite woman who are invited to the wedding. Like Jennifer said, it can be seen as rude. Technically at a bridal shower, you are showered with gifts and if you invite someone to the shower, you will likely receive a gift. When they don't get an invitation to the wedding, to them it will seem like they aren't important enough to you to be invited to the wedding but you want gifts from them anyways. My cousin is also getting married and she invited someone to the shower and not the wedding, and she was extremely offended by this.

I agree with Jennifer! Also depends on how intimate you want it, the vibe you want, etc. Some people rent a venue and invite all the women, or most. Others do a family and close friends event at someone's house, others yet just have their very close friends, like bridal party only... To me that feels like a bachelorette party, but hey! To each their own!! anyways it is up to you, but make sure to let the person who is planning this for (if not you) know what /how you envision it. Depending on if you kinda want a family feel, relaxed feel or are open to having "naughty" games will also depend on your guest list!

Usually it's the women who are invited from both sides that you invite. You shouldn't invite anybody who isn't invited to the actual wedding as this can be seen as "rude" but honestly, it's your day boo. You do you!
