OK, Phil's aunt lives in this suhweeeet gazillion dollar condo in Chicago, directly on top of the Randolph St. station, across from that bean thing in the park. She is hosting a wedding shower in August. However, it's a co-ed cocktail party, so to me it sounds more like an engagement party than a wedding shower.
She's asked me to give her my invite addresses. I've asked her a few times who I should invite and she says anyone I want. I've never been to a wedding shower before so I don't know the ettiquete. I'm assuming I invite my parents, grandparents, and bro and sis since they are in the wedding. Beyond that....I dunno. I have friends who are helping with the wedding, but I feel like if I invite them, I should invite my other close friends. But I know my other close friends can't come, and I don't want them to be obligated to give a gift. Same thing with relatives. I have one aunt who is like a second mother and she would probably like to go to Chicago for the weekend, but then are my other aunts offended if I don't invite them? Or are they burdened if I do, knowing they won't come, and feel obligated to buy a present? Not to mention my aunts whom I'm not as close to would probably throw a shower for my part of the family anyway.
