What is the etiquette on inviting mother of the groom's first cousins to a bridal shower? Some
of my mother's cousins, who my fiancee has never even met, were left off the bridal shower list by accident. My mother flipped out and they were added to the list. It was a mistake but now my mother is very upset and thinks it was done on purpose. She has said some very mean things about my fiancee and has upset me.
Typically, the guest list includes close friends and family of the bride. This is a party for the bride. So, it is not really necessary to invite the family of the groom unless the bride is close to them.
