I am the mother of a bride-to-bewho is having a wedding with a limited attendance. This means I can only invite a few of my friends in addition to (around 10)family members. We'll be sending announcements, but not invitations, to most of the people I know. These people know my daughter is getting married, and I've gone to showers, but not weddings for some of their daughters.
Two of my friends are going to give my daughter a shower 6 weeks before the wedding. If I exclude the non-invitation people to this event, I would only be inviting about 6 people to the shower. My thought was to invite the friends to something having to do with the wedding. Would it be o.k. to invite the friends, I can't include in the wedding, to the shower?
Sorry, but no. This is a big no-no. Only those invited to the wedding should be invited to the shower. I'm sorry that this has happened to you--it shouldn't have.
