Shower

I have recently started a new job (approximately 1 1/2 months). Everyone there knows I am getting married. Should I invite the girls I work with now to the bridal shower?

 Most often the people who are invited to bridal showers are also the people who will be invited to the wedding. Showers should only include close family on both sides and close social friends (which includes your bridesmaids and the bride's/groom's mothers/grandmothers). If you have multiple showers, whoever is hosting should tell repeat guests that they need only give one gift. If you are not inviting your new co-workers to your wedding (which you probably are not), then it's best not to invite them to showers thrown by your bridesmaids or other relatives. Sometimes, there will be a work only shower hosted by the people you work with. This is usually done on one of the closest days to your wedding that you will still be at work. It could be a lunchtime or right after work affair and generally they would give you a group gift. Being you have only been on your job for a short time, don't expect an office shower, but they could surprise you.
