Did I do a bad thing?

It may open a can of worms, but you know? Some cans just need to be opened.

I don't think I get it. Was she already invited to the shower MIL is throwing? Why would she come to both?

[snipsnsnails]

By shared, you do mean you are sharing with the SILs, right? As in, 3 guests of honor?

[snipsnsnails]

Ah, I didn't think guest lists typically overlapped unless it's someone extremely close to you-say your own mother or sister. If you have a long-standing, close relationship, I could see it making more sense.

I think it's fine you invited her, but I also think it's ok if she declines.

I think it's fine. If she wants to come to another shower, awesome. She's already in town, so I think it's nice to include her. I'm all for the two sides of family bonding, especially when there will be a child.

And it would already require travel to that city. She really is the best. When we got engaged she cried, hugged me, and said, "now I am your grandma, too."

What a kind soul!
