    We are having a destination wedding in December.  I know that we are not suppose to invite people to our shower(s) if we are not planning on inviting them to the wedding.  We are very limited in the number of people that can be invited to our wedding due to location and size.  Yet, both of our parents want to have showers for us.  Can we call this shower something else, where it would be acceptable to invite others?  Or is it okay to invite these people and then send them an announcement after the wedding?

    I think you're fine inviting them to the shower and then sending them an announcement. Any HOSTESSES should for sure be invited though.

    Have you had an engagement party yet? That might be one way to get around it, especially if you don't want all the gifts (I believe that is the reason for the "rule" - that you shouldn't expect gifts from people who aren't invited to the wedding).
