Shower Invite List Etiquette

Just curious, what is the etiquette of who to invite to your shower?  Do you invite people that you're acquantances with?  Or see once a year?  To me, that's gift fishing.  I heard someone was hurt that they were not invited to my shower (her cousin helped throw it but I am good friends with the cousin).

    Somebody's always going to be hurt about something. . .

    I think close friends, but then again I hear about people having showers w/ 70 guests - I can't imagine.

    In my eyes it should only be very close family and friends.  I completely agree with you that it is gift fishing to invite guests you don't even know or only see a couple times a year.  My MIL is inviting about 120 ppl and I only know 10 of the people being invited.  To me that is pretty tacky!!  GL

    I only invited very close friends and family - I had about 10 guests only, wanted to keep it very small and intimate.

    I only invited family and friends I knew well and saw regularly, and only 1 out of towner who specifically requested an invite. ?Then another out of towner got mad and accused me of leaving her out on purpose. ?Well I did, but she was a coworker who lives in another city, and I don't see or talk to her regularly! ?IMO she had no right to be offended but oh well, you can't please everyone. . .

    My mom invited cousins, aunts, grandmothers and very close family friends, from my side and DH's and a few of my close friends.
