Inviting guests to wedding & pre-wedding activities
We are planning a destination wedding & are planning on inviting about 80 family members & friends, we expect that about 20 will actually come due to the location, travel costs, etc. (we are paying for attendants)
I don't want any hurt feelings so we are inviting everyone, if they come, they come. We have made peace & are planning on having a fun, casual party at home when we return.
Is it appropriate to invite those who decide not to attend the destination wedding to the shower and/or bachelorette party? I would only invite those who were invited to the wedding in the first place. I’m not concerned with any gifts but I would like to get together with everyone beforehand and have a good time, maybe lunch and a girls night out afterwards.
Thanks in advance, great website!

If the guests are invited to the wedding, they may be invited to a prewedding event. However, you wouldn't be hosting these. Someone would have to offer to host them. If you want to host a non-wedding event, that would be fine.
Bravo on not focusing on gifts. It really should be the love we want to share.
