I have been reading on the knot.com that if you have a destination wedding than you forfeit a wedding shower. Now here is my question. I invited over 200 people to my wedding. About 65 are coming mostly close friends and a few family members. Alot of my family on both of our sides cannot make it due to small children and extra expenses which is totally understandable. But they keep asking about a party im having here. Would it be appropriate to still have a bridal shower and then tell the ones who are coming to the wedding not to worry about a gift? I still want to have something to include the ones who cannot come etc. but I don't want to seem like a gift grubber, I just want the people who can;t make it to still feel included in the festivities. Any advice. (p.s. I am not throwing an extra party for all those who cant attend bc thanksgiving is the following week and i will see them all then) Bridal shower or no?

Have the shower. You would if the wedding was in your city. Why not now?
