    • |Who should be invited?
    Immediate female family members of both the bride & groom's family should be invited as well as close friends of the bride and the wedding party. It is best to consult with the bride when making up the invitation list. Anyone invited to the bridal shower ordinarily should be invited to the wedding. This will avoid a lot of hurt feelings and mis-understandings. However, everyone invited to the wedding does not have to be invited to the shower.
