    I had 30 present at my shower. We invited more but most of FHs side couldn't make it. It was a lovely day with those 30 ladies.

    @Jess your correct! Bridal shower guests should also be those that you are inviting to your wedding, it is considered rude to invite people who are not also invited to share your big day.

    We invited all women who were invited to the wedding, which I think was around 60-65. Ended up having about 40-45 there.

    I'm having a MOH threw me one with 15 of my closest friends in VA. My mom is throwing me one back home in NJ with about 25 family members.

    22 is not odd to me. All the bridal showers I've been to have been around 40 guests, which some would say is large but common in my area. The shower being thrown for me will have 60 invited and I'm hoping it'll end up around 40-45.

    My MOH is having mine this Saturday. It's going to be small because everyone did not RSVP by the deadline she set. But ots fine with me it will be about 13 people
