In looking at the guest list, I had a question. Should college age daughters be invited to the bridal shower? The mothers are friends of the groom's mother and they are all invited to the wedding. Or should just the moms be invited to the shower.
Really, only those close the bride should be invited to the shower. No MOB friends unless they are friends of the bride or very close to the bride too. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
These are friends of the groom's family and really don't know the bride but are very close to the groom. Are you saying that only the bride's family and friends should come to a shower?
Guests shouldn't just be the parent's friends. So, unless these people are ones that the groom has invited to his wedding because they are his very close friends, they shouldn't be invited. A good test to find out if they are close to the groom would be to consider if he would invite them to his house for dinner.
If the college age young ladies are close to the groom, they would be the guests and not their mothers. But, they would also have to be wedding guests.
This party shouldn't be too large--no more than 35 guest. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
