[quote=Anonymous]I've been part of a women's group through my church for several years. It has about 15 members at any given time. Due to the transient nature of the area people tend to filter in and out but half of the group or so has been consistently attending since I joined. There are other members who are newer or attend very sporadically (the group meets bi-weekly, they may show up once every few months, one woman I literally did not see for six months). The group in general is very welcoming, and people (myself included) will throw out a broad invite to the group text when they host events like a housewarming or Super Bowl party.

I am expecting my first and my MIL is throwing a shower. I'd like to invite some of these women, but feel odd inviting the entire group to a more intimate/gift giving event, especially the people who attend very sporadically. At the same time, I don't want to seem exclusionary. One of my friends in the group inadvertently left a new joiner out of an event she planned and it was a bit awkward.

What makes more sense - to invite a smaller group, and hope word doesn't 'get out' (to be honest, I highly doubt the people I don't know well would care or be offended) or extend a broad invite knowing that many may not attend? [/quote]
