 This must be a city thing.  When I was growing up, showers were for bridesmaids, VERY intimate friends who for one reason or another weren't in the wedding party, and the family (aunts, grandmas, first cousins).  I've been to showers that were bigger and more elaborate than some weddings I've been to, where pretty much every female attending the wedding must have been invited, and I just can't get over thinking it's way too much and on the "gimme gimme" side.
