Who gets invited to the bridal shower?
My fiance's mom is planning the bridal shower. The place it's being held at can hold 50 people. The thing that's irritating me is that she keeps adding all these people from FH's side of the family that HAVE to be invited. Like an aunt's sister or something, just because "that's what you do." I don't even know these people! She's saying that some of them might not come anyway, but they should be sent an invitation. Is that how it works?
And speaking of inviting people, I have a few questions on wedding guests.
1. What was your policy on +1's for single guests?
2. Did you send invites to Great Uncle So-and-So's Sister in Law, even though she most likely won't come?
My guest list is getting out of control. We planned to invite 150 people or fewer (we need 125 minimum). I have a box of 100 invites (a score for $4 from the thrift store!). I don't want to send out more than 100 invitations, but I'm afraid I might have to, with all these people I'm being told to add by both my parents and FH's parents. I mean, I guess part of it is my fault, because I wanted this to be a big, fun party, and I did tell my parents to give me a list of some friends they wanted to invite, and it's larger than I expected. I also don't even know some of them. Also, FH's mom is telling me to add this person and this person and this person, just to send them an invitation, even though they likely won't come. WHAT IF THEY ALL COME ANYWAY?!
