I've found a little breathing room and am trying to cram a bunch of planning in while I have the chance so I'm back with another question and two mini-updates to keep things interesting.
My question is regarding bridal shower guest list. My sister (MOH) is throwing it for me at my parents house and it will be the only shower that I have. All potential invitees are invited to the wedding. I have eight people in the "family" category and thirteen in the "friends" category, all of which are definitely people I want to invite. Then I have two separate work groups (five and eight each, so total of thirteen) that I'm on the fence about. Fortunately, I like and would enjoy the company of all of them so it isn't a matter of feeling obligated to invite people I dislike. Money isn't really an issue since it's at my parents and my dad is cooking. I guess my dilemma is that I'm not sure if I should include these people mostly because they aren't my close friends, more like people I have worked with and really like. I think it's mostly because they're older people that I wouldn't hang out with outside of work aside from a work function where as the "friends" people are my peers (age-wise) and I have spent time with them aside from work and keep in touch with them more regularly. I also don't want to come across as gift-grubbing. If you were in my situation, would you invite the work people?
This is the wedding band I'd like to order. It won't "match" with my engagement ring but whatever.
The shoes I've selected are below. I had a hard time with shoes because I didn't feel like many really "went" with my dress. But these are fun and tie into the natural/naturey feel I'm going for as well as my "whatever color is lovely!" color palette. I'll be able to try them on/see them with my dress (mine doesn't have the sparkly belt) at Christmas with plenty of time to go for something else if I don't like them.
