Hmm that's tough because 12 is a pretty small number. Is there any way to hint at having a second bridal shower for your FI's side of the family? My FI's aunt is hosting my bridal shower (Sunday!) and she insisted on basically inviting all of the females that were invited to the wedding (with a few exceptions like my FI's coworkers wifes whom I have never met).
I don't think you needed to feel pressured into consulting your FMIL about the guest list. I consulted mine, but i am having a huge shower (mostly FI family). If she wants to have a shower with her friends she should ask one of then to throw you one. You need to gently explain to her the limitations of the event and your reasoning for your choices.

A woman from my church growing up (my confirmation sponsor) offered to throw me a shower the Sunday before the wedding. She said she could accommodate 12 people, and I put together a guest list of the 12 closest women in my life who are local to my hometown.
My FMIL just got the invite, and was upset that she didn't get to give input into the guest list. She has asked that I include some of her close woman friends (some of whom I know, some who I don't), as well as my FBIL's girlfriend (who I have only met once, and who only recently decided to come out with BIL a full week before the wedding.)
Was I wrong to not consult FMIL about who to invite? I guess I thought that the bridal shower was a party for me, and that I should invite women that I know and who know me. Especially with the limited guest list, I thought it was appropriate to use my discretion on who to invite. (I did consult my mom, because much of the guest list is comprised of middle-aged women who are close family friends, and it was hard to keep it limited to 12.)
