Destination Wedding: Bridal Shower?

I am having a destination wedding, only guests will be immediate family and very close friends. Because most family and friends that are immediate will not be at the wedding; can I still have a bridal shower or is that rude to ask people to come to a bridal shower and not invite them to the destination wedding?

You should only invite those that are also invited to the wedding otherwise it looks like you are just asking for gifts.

Yeah, I would feel weird about attending a bridal shower and being expected to buy a gift when I'm not included in the wedding itself. If you want something less fraught with etiquette issues, maybe you can plan a low-key reception / party to celebrate your marriage or engagement, instead.

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't invite anyone to a bridal shower who isn't also invited to the wedding.

Agree with this. As the bride, you only give suggestions on the guest list. Do not contribute to planning details.
However if someone chooses on their own to host a shower for you (coworkers, church members, book club, etc) that is perfectly acceptable because they know they aren't invited but want to share your happiness.
