Couple Shower
My sister, as my matron of honor, planned to hold our couple shower at her home.
We sat down and figured out a guest list of about 50-60 people.
However, my Fiance noticed we overlooked a few of his cousins. These cousins live within a mile of us, but we do not speak to them unless we run in to them.
I have not been invited to their showers....
We will definitely be inviting them to the wedding, and will invite their father to the shower.
Do we need to invite them also?
Inviting every one of his cousins will severly limit my ability to invite the friends I would like to.
My family consists of my two sisters and their husbands and out of state aunts/uncles/cousins.
His entire family is here. My friends are my family.
UGH!!!
What do I do?

I know the feeling, after high school I quit hanging around my friends. I grew up and got responsible and they didn`t, so my family are my friends as well. I would not invite the cousins to the shower. I know you shouldn`t invite people to the shower and not the wedding but I haven`t heard a rule where you can`t do the opposite. I would sit down and talk it over with your FH and if worse comes to worse, squeeze them in there somehow.
