Who gets to invite the Stepmother?

I am having 2 bridal showers, one is being hosted by my mother and one is being hosted by my fiancé's mother. My future mother in law has asked me if I would invite my fiancé's stepmother to the shower being hosted by my family to avoid the bad blood between them. I've asked my mother about it and she told me she'd do it only of my FMIL would attend as well, which defeats the point of inviting the stepmother to my families. I feel like the my FMIL should just invite the stepmother to hers since it is her side of the family's shower and not mine. I'm not sure what to do about it. Any advice?

Yikes...tough spot.

I think your FMIL should just be a gracious host and invite her as the stepmom wont know anyone at the one your mom is hosting. But if that won't happen WHY does you mom insist on FMIL being there IF your stepmom goes to the one she is hosting?

My mom stated that both mothers are expected to attend all showers that are held. I don't know if that's true or not. I also thinks she wants to have her there since we're not sure if my family will be able to attend my FMIL's shower.
