Who do you invite to bridal shower?
family and close friends
Reply:I've been to a lot of bridal showers. I'd say your female friends and family members, his female family members, and his female friends that YOU'RE friends with. It would be kind of awkward to have his female friends there that you don't really know, in my opinion. However if you know them well, like you said, then I think it's fine.
Reply:Congratulations! I am getting married in two weeks and this is what I did. I invited my family and friends, and I invited my fiances friends wives that I regularly interacted with. However i declined to invite out of town relatives, and any of my fiance's friends that I had not met. Hope this helps

Reply:all women invited to the wedding should be invited to the shower.
Reply:female family and friends, coworkers etc. If you are friends with these women then yes, you should invite them too. The number of guests really depends on the individual. Most showers I attend, there are at least 40 guests.
Reply:Pretty much anyone the bride wants to invite, but usually it's just family and close friends, bridesmaids if they're not already in the family or close friends category, etc.


EDIT: I don't agree with Chris's proud mummy. If I had invited all the women to my shower that were invited to the wedding, there would have been about 100 or more people there! You definitely don't "have" to invite everyone to the shower that's invited to the wedding. It's totally up to the bride.
Reply:I would invite close family and friends. If you are friends of his female friends, sure invite them.
Reply:Anyone you want, who will be invited to the wedding. If they give you a limit on the number of guests, then you have to follow that guideline. Otherwise, invite ladies in your family, any friends you want.





I hosted a shower recently and we invited ever lady who was invited to the wedding. The shower was huge, but it was a great deal of fun. We had a large church hall to hold the shower in so we could invite lots of ladies.
Reply:Usually closest family on both sides, and very good friends. So - moms, sisters, aunties, grandmas, close neighbours or church friends, several other close friends.


Showers are often about 20-25 people - a good number for chit chat and fun.
Reply:Just girls. It's SO much funner! WIth boys... well they don't really understand. Anyway, yes you should deff invite LOTS of people. Then you willl get more crap for the kid!
