Defer to the bride on this; is the her step-mother or his? Are there mothers in the picture? What is the relationship of the step-mother in question? Has she played a major role in the raising of the individual in question? Or is she relatively new on the scene? I would ask the bride - this is her day (and the groom's also of course) and it is hers / their wishes that are to the final word.

When the wedding is immediate family only can others not attending be invited to a shower?
Traditionally if the immediate family is invited to the wedding itself, but the reception is at a hall or a parent's home then guests should be invited then that is the only time you should invite others to a wedding shower. If the wedding is small with no other guests other than the immediate family then either the mother and father of the bride or the groom's parents could have a small reception at their home and those guests should then receive an invitation (can make the invitations online) or buy less traditional invitations at card shops and then invite certain relatives if you so choose. However, as long as other relatives and friends understand the reasoning for your wedding plans then you could get away with a wedding shower and wedding gifts and that is up to the bride and her mother.

The groom's parents are only responsible for paying out of town guests at rehearsal dinner for: Parents of the bride (some parents are divorced and one ex may live out of town or both live out of town, but often the out of town parents of the bride will pay their own way if they can financially afford it); Maid of honor; bridesmaids; flower girl or ring bearer. Any other relatives or friends that are not in the wedding party should pay their own way.

You are paying for 150 wedding guests but only 125 are coming can you invite people 2 weeks before the wedding?
As etiquette rules if you had not considered the other guests to be on the top of your list to come to your wedding then it is tacky to invite them now. They may consider they are just classified as 'fill ins' which, in this case they are. Most halls or high end restaurants that have wedding receptions will allow a certain amount of time before the wedding so you can adjust the amount of guests that are coming. You should call so you can let the chef adjust what he/she needs to bring in as far as food for the guests that are coming. Speak to Management and explain your problem and they often will just charge you by the plate (which means ... one plate per guest.)
Can guests wear tuxedo jackets to a wedding?
Sometimes. Other times, only those in the wedding party do. Check with the Bride's mother, she'll tell you which this one is.
Who pays for best man's travel expenses?
He does. All wedding guests including the bridal party are responsible for their own expenses. There are a few rare occasions where brides and grooms want to be generous and help their bridal party or other guests pay for certain things but it's not their responsibilty and should not be expected. It's already a gift and an honor to be invited to a wedding. The bride and groom should not have to beg or pay people to come.
If 75 percent of your guests are out of town what percentage of guests will decline your wedding imvitation?
Presumably, 25% of guests will accept the wedding invitation. However, being "out of town" does not necessarily imply that a guest cannot attend. Equally, just because the remaining 25% are presumably 'in town', that doesn't mean that they might not have other reasons which make them unable to attend.
