So, here’s my dilemma: I am a people pleaser and I’ve spent this entire wedding process trying to make sure everything has gone smoothly. I’ve done my best to give all of my family AND my FH’s family the little things they’ve asked for. Don’t worry though. I’ve made sure that the most important things that I wanted were taken care of and gotten first and foremost. But now I’m stuck with not knowing who to invite for the bridal shower.
My biggest question is should I invite my fiancé’s female family members? His mom is 100% for sure invited. But do I invite her sister? Do I invite my FH’s dad’s sister in laws? If I invite his one sister and her daughter since I’m close to them, do I need to invite his sister in law? There’s a group of couples my parents have been close with my entire life, and I’m definitely inviting one of the wives. She has been a huge part of my life. But if I invite her, do I need to invite the other 3 as well? It’s just become so difficult because my dad has 7 sisters. Yes. 7 whole sisters. Lol. And from them there are 8 of my girls that are cousins and some of them have daughters that I’m fine with them bringing and two of my male cousin’s wives. My dads side of the family is HUGE but we are an extremely close family. There’s not a single one of them, including those brought in by marriage, that I don’t feel a special bond with. Plus all my close friends and my moms family. I don’t want a bridal shower guest list of 100 people I can’t accommodate to that. But I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. I just feel lost. This is the first time in the year of planning I’ve been doing that I’ve felt so anxious. I hate hurting people. It hurts me to my core to know I’m the reason for someone’s pain or anger.
