Bridal shower quest list

Technically, unless you're hosting your own shower, you shouldn't really be inviting anyone. She should be. If she has your guest list, she chooses who to invite. In my experience women on both sides of the family are invited. My MOH will be inviting women from both sides to my shower. I wouldn't exclude his side if you don't know them. They still want to celebrate your marriage if they're coming to the wedding. If they don't want to come because they don't know you then they can RSVP No but I'd still make sure whoever is hosting invites them. Also, making sure the host can accommodate all of the women necessary is important too.

Yes let your moh invite both sides.

Yes all females should be invited. Side note I am curious who these individuals are that are important enough to your FH to make the guest list but yet you don't know them? I am just a little surprised because I know all of FH guests....

@beachbride612 they are the wives of 2 coworkers. The one I've met once and the other I've never met.

@melissab thank you. My MOH doesn't know all my guests. Exactly why she asked who I would like to come.

Contrary to the pp's advice, you do not invite all the women on the wedding guest list to the shower. The shower is for your nearest and dearest, but that often does include both sides. Sometimes the MOG or other close relative hosts a shower for their side of the family but, if not, I would ask FMIL who she would like to be invited to the shower.

Yes let your moh invite both sides.

Showers don't include as guests every woman invited to the wedding. The guests are typically family members and close friends. The wives of co-workers wouldn't make that cut.

I sent my whole guest list to my sister and she's taking care of it from there. Typically if they've never met you they will decline the invite. I've done it a couple times. It's better to invite and let them decide.

Typically, the guests of friends, family and co-workers do not need to be invited to the shower unless you have a personal relationship with them.

Everyone that was invited to my shower were the ladies that I knew from the guest list (from both sides) & were not OOS (except for MIL...didn't expect her to make it; but still wanted her to be included).

I did give a list to my MOH; but they planned it. IDK how a host is supposed to guess who to invite & their addresses, etc?!?
