My MOH asked me to put together a guest list for my bridal shower. My FMIL said that I should invite all women that are invited to the wedding, but majority of the women are distant family on my FH side that I dont really talk to. I kind of just wanted a small shower with just like grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins and friends. Is it rude to not invite distant family since they are invited to my wedding?

    Showers don't have to be big. I was at a small one a few days ago. The only rule is that everyone who's invited to the shower should also be invited to the wedding.

    Hi- I keep coming across this “invite in circles” phrase and I’ve never heard of it before! Could someone explain please?

    Start with closest family. Parents, siblings, grandparents. Next circle would be aunts and uncles, then cousins, second cousins, and so on...
