So, I'm putting together a guest list for my mom's close friend that has very graciously decided to host my bridal shower. I honestly don't have many close friends (I'm very introverted) so it's looking like it will be very intimate (no more than 15-20 people at the most, much of which is family). My question is, what is the etiquette for inviting coworkers? I am a teacher that works on a "team" at school of 6 people, but I am really only close with three of them, so those are the three I am inviting to the wedding. One of them I work very closely with because we both teach music. My team is already throwing me a shower at work, and it's been primarily the 3 women I mentioned that have been planning that.
I kind of feel like I should at least invite the other music teacher to the shower, and I would like to have her there if she wants to come. HOWEVER, I'm concerned it could be seen as gift-grabby, since she's already the main person spearheading my work shower? I hope this makes sense- please let me know your honest thoughts!! I don't want to be rude by not inviting them since they're throwing me one at work, but I also don't want to come across as wanting gifts, because that's definitely not my intention!
