ShareThisQ: My parents are close with a couple who have four daughters. They're all invited to the wedding, but I'm having a small shower. Can I only invite the daughter I'm closest to?
A: If you have a totally different relationship with one daughter, and her three sisters know that you're much closer with her than with them, you should be safe only inviting that daughter. It's not like you're inviting three and excluding one!
If you think not inviting the whole clan will cause a blowout, you have two options: Add them all to the guest list, or don't invite any of them.
Considering all the drama possible regarding your wedding-guest list, it's smart to keep invite issues to a minimum with your shower.
