* Mother and mother-in-law of the bride. Grandmothers on both sides of the family, female siblings on both sides of the family and perhaps an aunt or two that may be special or a Godmother if there is one. Maid/Matron of Honor; Bridemaids and Flower Girl if there is one and of course the brides girlfriends.
This is up to the bride and groom. Do you want a big wedding or a small wedding? Parents of course will be there. You can invite best friends, grandparents, cousins, aunt uncles, great aunts and uncles, siblings, co-workers, etc.

It's really up to you...but first and foremost make sure it's your close family and friends. Realistically I know you "have" to invite aunts and uncles and people your parents know even though you haven't seen/talked to those people in ages...but wouldn't you rather have your closest friends there instead of a distant cousin you never see? Esp. if you're paying for them to be there...just a thought.
Technically you can invite anyone you want, but there are generally accepted rules. If the person is invited to the wedding, she should also be invited to the main bridal shower. Also, in the United States, it is generally encouraged for all female relatives to be invited to the bridal shower provided they are also invited to the wedding or the reception.
friends and family

Whether you know the bride or not you should bring a gift to her bridal shower. You also have the right to not attend the wedding shower especially if you are not invited to the wedding.
If you are not invited to the bridal shower dose not mean your not wanted at the wedding . So go to the wedding .
On some occasions there is a mixed bridal shower, but if that is not announced in the bridal shower then no, the groom should stay away from the bridal shower and only be there at the end of the bridal shower to pick up his bride to be after the shower is over.
If you are invited to the bridal shower and the wedding it is usually customary to buy a gift for both events. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well if you are invited to bridal shower as well as wedding.... then definitely you need to take care of the budget. Because now you have to spend twice. So the best solution to this is for bridal shower buy something not all that expensive...some things that come to my mind are: # Wedding Bowls & Plates # Wedding Night Lingerie # Tees for Brides # Spa Gift Sets # Drinkware # Cookbooks for Newlyweds

generally speaking, yes. it is customary to give a gift when invited to an occasion and you cannot attend unless there is an ethical problem with doing so.

Only if the bride wants her there.
Generally the Maid of Honor and Bridesmaids get together and have a Bridal Shower or, the mother of the bride may have one as well. Whomever has the bridal shower pays for it and they have the right to ask guests that they know to contribute some of the food if they so wish.
Make sure to choose the right font that matches the theme of the wedding. The name of the person being invited should be included on the envelope. The time, date, location should also be included.
* If you are not invited to the shower then it is up to you whether you would like to give a gift or not, but you don't have to. If you were invited, but can't make the shower then yes, you should send the gift with someone else you know that is attending or stop by and give the gift AFTER the shower to the person the shower is for.
