Bridal Shower Question
Sorry...this is wedding related...
I am having a destination wedding, and as a result, we kept the guest list to a minimum. There are a few people who are not invited to the wedding (my best friends' parents) that I was thinking of inviting to the shower so that they could be a "part" of the wedding. Is this tacky? Are you not supposed to invite people who aren't invited to the wedding? I'm not sure what proper etiquette is.

Re: Bridal Shower Question
I wouldn't invite someone to the shower who wasn't invited to the wedding.
the last thing you want is them expecting an invitation and not getting one....

agreed
my MIL invited her friends to a shower I had in OH that were not invited to our wedding (we were on a budget). I felt really weirded out about it. but they were very gracious and generous too! I felt really guilty about it though, but she insisted they didn't mind.

Re: Bridal Shower Question
Proper etiqutte says not to invite anyone to the bridal shower that you aren't planning on inviting to the wedding - destination wedding or not

its your decision to do the destination wedding thus not inclusding alot of people thus it would not be right to expect a gift from them at your shower

Re: Bridal Shower Question
Etiquette says not to invite people to a shower unless they are being invited to the wedding. But, being it is a destination wedding I am sure they understand. Why don't you speak to your friend about it?

Re: Bridal Shower Question
I am definitely not considering inviting those people because I'm looking for a gift...I just felt bad about not inviting them to the wedding (because of our limit) and wanted them to know I didn't forget about them. However, I do see your point, and inviting them might seem like I'm looking for a gift and that is DEFINITELY not the case.
Thanks for your input!

This was exactly my situation too!! We had a small, out-of-town wedding, but MIL wanted to invite a group of her best girlfriends, and I was uncomfortable with it. She insisted that they weren't offended that they weren't invited to the wedding, since it was out-of-state, so she invited them and insisted that they'd be offended if they WEREN'T invited to the shower.
