I am the bride and having two showers hosted for me. The first one is in two weeks and the second one is the following weekend. The first hostess is having a four-course luncheon at her home and said that she wanted to keep the guest list to about 10-12 people since the food would involve a lot of effort and space was limited, of course this was fine with me. She told me her guest list. The second hostess asked me for any friends or family that I wanted to invite to her shower plus a few names she already had in mind. So I gave her the names and addresses of family and friends that I believed were not invited to the first shower. Come to find out, the first hostess extended the guest list without telling me. Now I have 6 people double invited to showers on back to back weekends. Of course I wouldn't expect a gift at both showers from them, but I also know they would never show up empty handed. Is there anything that I can do?

Dear Tc,
It is best to request that the first hostess contact these guests and apologize letting them know that she made the mistake. She could give them the option of attending with no gift or not attending. She could also make this a gift-less shower so they wouldn't feel uncomfortable.
Hopefully all of these guests are also invited to your wedding.
