Ceremonies & Traditions Etiquette

- Question:
- We're only having 25 people at our wedding, but several friends from different circles have talked about throwing me a shower. I'm worried they'll surprise me, and the people invited to the shower will expect to be invited to the wedding. What can I do?
- Answer:
As long as they make sure that the invitees know the wedding will be an intimate one and that they're not likely to be invited, you can accept one shower offer. (More than one would be out of proportion for such a small-scale wedding.) At the party, when you're thanking everyone for coming, mention how much you would have liked to invite them to the wedding. Promise to share stories and photos at a post-honeymoon party thrown by you and your husband.
