Wedding shower

My bestfriend/Bridesmaid wants to throw my fiance and I a wedding showering. Have some games, food, decor, and of course alcohol. It's not a bridal shower, because it would be both Male and female there. I'm just not sure how this whole thing works. Do we invite everyone that's invited to the wedding? Do we invite half (like closer friends and family)? We originally planned on not doing this because of cost but my BM insists on it. Has anyone done something similar?

    Definitely not all the wedding guests! Typically a shower is for “nearest and dearest” — for me that was close relatives and best friends. If your bridesmaid is hosting it may help to talk to her about what she has in mind, size of guestlist wise. She may have a number she is comfortable hosting, and I would try to work within that.

    While you technically can invite everyone invited to the wedding, I feel like gift giving events should be reserved for close friends and family only. You should also ask your friend how many people she's comfortable hosting, I doubt it's your entire guest list.

    I think you just call it a wedding shower. Probably keep the invites more neutral and only invite the people closest to you. I think having a dual shower would be awesome!

    We've called them co-ed or couples showers.
    I'm having 2 bridal showers. With a total of about 40-50 guests combined. No way we're inviting every female or person to said showers. We are inviting family only. Plus bridesmaids and 2 close friends.

    Cute! Couples showers are fun. I'd invite everyone invited to the wedding in the close area to the shower location.
