So I'm inviting 3 of my former coworkers to our wedding, we stay in contact still (check in every few months or so.) They are super excited about the wedding, but I'm not sure if I should invite them to the bridal shower or not. I don't want it to seem like I'm expecting anything from them, but I also don't want to seem rude for not inviting them. They are older than me (only 10 yrs younger than my parents), but not super into traditional wedding stuff. The shower is still 8mo away, so there's time to think about guest lists. As a coworker myself, I've noticed 2 coworkers that have gotten married in the last couple years didn't invite coworkers to their shower, but did to the wedding. So I'm not sure what protocol is.
