If you had a work shower, did you invite everyone you work with? My boss and coworker asked me to provide a guest list for my work shower in March. In the past for showers, some of my coworkers have invited all the women in the office, and others have narrowed it down to a list of people they are closer to.

I feel like I should invite everyone to be fair/not leave anyone out, my coworker who is helping organize the shower keeps telling me that I should pick whoever I want to invite and not worry about people I'm not as close to. I figure if I'm not close to some people, they just won't come? But then do they feel obligated to give a gift? I don't want anyone to feel obligated to do anything!

For reference, there are about 30 women that work in my building. If I were to choose people I'm close to, I would only leave 5-7 people off the list. That seems like too small a number to leave out! If you were in my shoes, would you invite all the women or just the ones you're close to?
