Our daughter grew up in our small town and still has many personal and family friends here. Many have approached us asking to host a bridal shower. The only problem is that she will be married in the city in which she now lives in a small wedding chapel with limited seating. Unfortunately we will not be able to invite many of those who have asked to host the shower. We plan to have a large reception locally in the month after the wedding and invite all her local friends but we are throwing that party so it wouldn't be proper to let gifts be brought to that. Is there any possibility that it would be ok to let local people host the bridal shower if they knew they would be invited to the party but not the wedding?
Only those invited to the wedding should be invited to the bridal shower. In addition, family members (unless a member of the bridal party) should not host the shower since it appears to be self serving.
