Who to invite to bridal shower?

I'm doing the same thing as Chelsea. Just the ladies invited to the wedding. I don't want to offend anyone by not inviting them to our wedding which is already on the small side. I also have lots of people travelling from all over with the wedding a month after the shower. I understand that people may not be able to make it and the guests who are coming from firther, i've already had a chat with and said there is no pressure and don't stress if you cant get to it. Its more important that they are there for the big day in my eyes

I would just keep it small and just invite your ladies in the family who are going to the wedding. Hope what you decide works out Hun.

It totally depends on what you would like. For example- I am only inviting 20 close family and friends to my bridal shower as I want it more intimate. Like you said I don't want to feel like I am inviting people just for the gifts.
Usually it is the ladies that are invited to the wedding.

Then yes I would invite them.

I guess I just feel if I invite everyone to the shower - it may as well be a wedding -and I definitely don't want to appear gift grabby - as we really don't need anything.

I am only inviting the ladies invited to my wedding to the bridal shower. Because you get showered with gifts, I wouldn't want to invite those who aren't invited to the wedding, to the shower because they could get very offended that they are not important enough to be included on your special day, and it looks like you want a gift from them at the shower.
