Can I have a bridal shower?

My fiancé and I decided that we would like a small family only intimate wedding ceremony with approx 20 of us. My mom and I were discussing a bridal shower and she basically said I shouldn’t have one as it’s rude to people who are not invited to the wedding. Thoughts?
Should there still be a bridal shower and bachelorette?

    Completely agree with the others who have suggested only having a bridal shower with those who are invited to the wedding. It's rude to invite people to the shower who aren't invited to your wedding (be it big or small).

    I have always felt uneasy with the idea of inviting people to a shower that aren't coming to the wedding. But my wedding is small, and MANY friends have tried to convince me to still have a shower and invite everybody. In sharing those initial thoughts with them, all of them felt that it was silly (I think at least 4-5 friends thought this), and that if someone gets offended for being invited to the shower and not the wedding, that's their problem. That being said... I'm not having a shower (that I know of).

    That's generally how it goes. If they aren't invited to the wedding then they aren't invited to the wedding shower.

    If you are wanting to have a little party and celebrate with those who you couldn't invite - you could always just have a party after the wedding has taken place with those people separately (just make it more of a drop-by and let them know that gifts are NOT necessary).

    I agree with Kim, you typically invite women who are invited to the wedding to your bridal shower.

    you can definitely still have a shower with the women you are inviting though!

    I wouldn't invite people who aren't invited to the wedding to a shower... but you could have a small one with your female wedding guests!
