I am having two bridal showers. My mom is throwing one and my fiance's mom is throwing the other. Long story, but they do really get along that's not why. Anyway - who do I have to invite to both showers, if anyone?

The moms and bridesmaids should be the only ones invited to both. If there are sisters who are not bridesmaids they should be too. Also, any grandmothers who are around. Otherwise, leave the lists separate.

I would invite your side of the family and friend to your mothers. Let your FMIL invite your Fi's family and friends to the one she's planning.
This way the same people will not be attending two showers.
You should also pick your bridal party to attend just one shower, I would pick the one your mother is throwing.

Before I got married I had four showers. Invite the closest family members in your family to your in-laws shower, (mom, sister, favorite cousin) and let the rest of your family go to your mom's and vis-versa. Invite any friends you may have to your mom's, most likely they know her better and will be more comfortable in that shower.

Let your mom and future mother-in-law do the inviting would be one idea. Another idea is to have them schedule the parties at different times so that maybe someone who has to work can make it to the other party. Just a couple of ideas for you. Congratulations on the up coming wedding and have a happy and long marriage.

I would concentrate on friends for one shower and family for the other. It really wouldn't be appropriate to ask people to come to two showers and give you two shower gifts. There will be some crossover, of course, like the moms, siblings, bridesmaids at both showers. But maybe those people can give a smallish token gift at one shower at something more substantial at the other.

depends is your mom and dad still together? If not then invite your moms family and friends to the one your mom is throwing and invite your dads side of the family to the one that his mom is throwing. And all of his family as well.

I would have it split, his family to his moms shower and your family to your shower. With friends, its up to whoever is closest. I would not invite all of them to both showers.
Good luck!

They will handle the guest lists, not you. You're not throwing the shower, so you don't invite people
