The more the merrier. As long as they're being invited to the wedding, then they can be invited to the shower. If they can't attend your wedding, the shower might be a nice time for them to wish you well.
Charm bracelet covered it all... as long as they are invited to the wedding, it's appropriate to invite them to your bridal shower! :)
I agree - anyone (female) invited to the wedding can be invited! Personally, I love going to showers and such, so I would love to be invited even if I'm not super close to the bride. Anyone who might feel awkward going or who doesn't want to buy a shower and wedding gift c can simply not come.
I'm in a similar dilemma....with one addition...we're inviting some of FH's coworkers and 2 of his clients (that's he's very friendly with and would have crashed the cocktail hour even without a wedding invite!) as well as some of his friends that we've double dated with. Do I include them all on my shower list? Without them, my list is large (over 50 people!). I'm concerned about the cost for the BMs but also don't want to offend anyone. In my experience, rifts that last years often occur because of ettiquette breaches at weddings and funerals, and I'm trying to prevent MY wedding from being one of THOSE.
Ask whoever is hosting your shower(s) how many people they can accommodate. You don't want to overwhelm the hostess by giving her a list of 60 names when her house might only fit 25 women.
As a general rule, only invite people to the shower that are being invited by name to your wedding. (So you wouldn't invite people that are only coming as the guest of a friend)

I've planned 2 bridal showers before, AND I know it's a long way off before mine AND i know I'm not the one planning my own, lol, but just so I have the guest list ready - I have a few questions about the guest list. My family is very all-inclusive, so all the following people might end up getting invited anyway, but just wanted Bee thoughts on whether you would invite the following people:
1. Aunts, cousins and cousins' wives who live across the country
2. Girlfriends of my male cousins (they've come to other family events, but not sure if it's weird for them to come to a shower)
3. Fiancee of one of my male friends who's invited to the wedding, who is very nice and we've done a double date, but I'm not really friends with myself. Oh, and neither of them can come to the wedding (my friend is a GM in another wedding)
4. Wives of FH's friends who are invited to the wedding, whom I've met and are nice, but I'm not really friends with myself.
5. Sister's In-laws who are invited to the wedding, but won't be able to come to the wedding (they have another wedding to go to).
Phew, I know that's a lot! Opinions?
