Should I invite future in-laws to my bridal shower?

My future step-mother-in-law is throwing me a bridal shower 3 weeks before my own mother is throwing me one. Should I still invite my mother-in-law and her family to this shower?





Also, my fianc茅's biological mother will be in attendance at the one my mother is throwing and my mother-in-law and my step-mother-in-law aren't on the best of terms. Any thoughts or advice?

You shouldn't have to invite anyone to your


bridal shower. You shouldn't even know


about it. It is something your friends are


supposed to get together and surprise


you with.


Tell whomever is giving you the shower


who you would like to attend and give


the address's. In-laws are fine.
Reply:I had similar problems with my wedding. I decided to invite everyone and let them sort it out. I only had one bridal shower though. I think it is appropriate to invite your future MIL to your mother's shower. However since there is bad blood between her and the biological mom, I would call her a week before the shower and let her know that the bio mom will be there. I also think you should say something to the effect that since she is going to the trouble of throwing you a shower you don't want her to feel obligated to attend another shower. That way she has a classy out.
Reply:If you will see your step mother-in-law often I would maybe say something just to prevent her from feeling excluded. things like that always come up in the future. I'd give her the option if I were you. It's safer to invite both, tell them who is going to be there %26amp; that they are expected to behave well at the events should they choose to come.
Reply:I would be honest about the whole situation. I'd tell your future step momma in law that your mom is having a bridal shower and your future momma in law will be there. Tell her she is welcome to come. Also ask your future hubby what he thinks.
Reply:Yes, all future inlaws should be invited to any bridal shower that involves your own parents. HOWEVER, it is not usual for said inlaws to decide not to attend - just to pre-warn you.
Reply:Keep the one your mom is throwing as exclusive for your family and friends.





I would also invite the stepMIL out for dinner as a thanks for throwing you a shower.





Your stepMIL really doesn't need to go to both showers.
Reply:I would just keep them separate and if either mother in law asks, just tell them that you wanted nice parties without them getting uncomfortable with each other.
Reply:sure! why not! they should be civil for you. its a special time in your life, so they shouldn't throw down or anything. congrats!
