Is it wrong to invite someone to your bridal shower but not the wedding?

[coachTanthony]

Yes very wrong

No they just didn't make the cut

There are very few behaviors widely recognized as “wrong” without context. This is the reason that motive and mens rea are so vital to a functioning justice system.
Maybe your friend or relative likes to party, but hates weddings. If you invite me, for example, to your wedding but not the bachelor party, i will decline.
Maybe they already have plans and can only make one or the other.
There is probably a number of good reasons to invite someone to a shower, but not the event. Similarly, there is probably a number of bad reasons as well. The first in mind is the desire to collect a gift without sharing one of the most important moments in your life with someone. “Your money is always good here. Even when you’re not.” is a pretty common sentiment, unfortunately. Especially for the boys.
It’s sh*tty, but it happens.

The only time that should happen is if the wedding is a very small intimate ceremony with immediate family only.

The shower is supposed to be for people you are close to and want to spend time in a kind of intimate setting. If they are close enough for that, why wouldn’t you want them to share in the happiness of your big day?

[marshmallowcream]

Yes , what’s the point in that. Might as well not invite them to both.

[DryGermanGuy]

I find such distinctions irritating. Are the guests divided into first class, second class and third class? A guy I knew well wanted to invite me to his formal wedding ceremony but not the wedding reception afterwards or something. I didn’t go. 🤷‍♂️

[jshm2]

Depends.

Did they contribute to the wedding or shower? If not, then they didn't miss anything they didn't contribute to.

[orangemango]

i don’t understand what the point is then and it would be viewed as disrespectful and rude. Because you know what you are doing, why would you not want them to watch your special moment with you.

[WhitneySnow]

Why would you ever do that? Not wrong just doesn’t make sense.

[Pohjolan]

That's kind of rude if you invite a ton of other people as well but not so much if its just bride, groom and a priest on some mountain or something.

[LazerBean]

It sounds like very poor taste to me

[lorenzomichael]

That’ll be just wrong. It’ll be like “Thanks for the gift but see ya.” 😳🤣🤣

[Anonymous]

I think it's ok.

[DrPepper12]

So wrong

[beefcakebradybatson]

Don't know... never had a bridal shower.
