Quick shower question

I would ask on the shower board, but sometimes that board gets intense lol.  

My mom wanted to see my shower list that I gave to my friend and she was annoyed because I invited my cousin Joey's new fiance.  She said I shouldn't have invited her "because we don't know her"

But I was thinking it would be a nice time to meet her.  I feel bad we haven't made the time to meet her yet.  I just thought it would be a nice gesture to include her.

I don't know what I'm doing

I would invite her, since she will soon be a member of your family.

This is the way I look at it and this is the approach I took. Its YOUR shower, so YOU should invite who YOU want. People are coming to celebrate YOUR baby. In my personal experience there was some battling over the guest list, but in the end it was up to me. I made the final decision who was invited and who was not despite grumbling from all ends.

I think it's a nice and sweet gesture to include someone who will soon be a part of the family. i would feel glad to be included in a family gathering. Sorta like a nod of approval and acceptance from the family. Overall I agree with PPs...it's your party and you can invite anyone you want.

Thanks!  Now I feel better that I did!

I accidentally almost invited my nieces mother.  I wasn't thinking anything about it,  I have always been super nice to her and got along with her really well because I spend so much time with my niece. She spends weekends, holidays and vacations with my husband and me. 

Well she is actually is really mean to my brother, especially to his new wife.  (She and my brother never really dated.). Luckily, my sister pointed it out, it might have caused some controversy.

I am like clueless sometimes lol

I think it's a good idea to have invited her! I invited my brothers girlfriend, whom I've only met once, but they've been together for about 2 years. I also invited my SO's moms "roommate." I've never met her, but they go everywhere together and do everything together. My SO told me to make sure I invited her, not just put his moms name and guest. My mother wasn't thrilled about it, she insisted I have my sister (who is throwing my shower) put and guest. But I did it how SO asked me to and that was that .

I think it was very nice of you to include her. I know I was happy to receive an invitation to DH's cousin's baby shower before we were married.

If she's becoming part of your family it's great you invited her! How else will you get to know her before the wedding if you don't include her in family events. It's your party so as long as the host is cool with it you should invite who you want!
