FMIL took our guest list for the A invites for the wedding and was supposed to send them all an e-party invite because the e-party is at her house. Easy, right? Then the invitees were supposed to RSVP either to her on the phone or to me over email.
So today I got an email from a person that was definitely not on our A list -- and not even on our B list! It seems like FMIL decided to just invite people she wanted to our e-party even though we are NOT inviting them to the wedding! We don't have the space in our RH room, and I am paying for everything so I am really enforcing the guest list. FH is also pretty upset too, he can't believe she would do something like this without even talking to us! We don't even know who she invited that was not on the list we gave her! FH is calling her this afternoon to talk to her and tell her that she is responsible for calling all of these 'extra' people to let them know that she made the error and they will probably not be invited to the wedding.
She wants to invite HER friends, people we don't even know, to a wedding of under 80 people, when FH and I both have friends on the B list that we have known for years! that is pretty nervy!

Wow that s*cks... I could see if she was paying for it, then I would let her invite whoever... but if you're paying that's crazy!

Re: FMIL vent! sorry long....
This sounds like the exact same thing I went through. I really did not want a big wedding but she insisted she be able to invite all of her friends (about 80 extra people). Well after a month or so of batteling over this she decided to cut her list back a bit but also she's going to pay for some of the wedding. I guess you have to compromise with everything you do especially when family's involved. I would be really upset as well since she went behind your back and did this.

We won't be! We aren't really involving the parents but since she made the invites and the e-party is in her backyard, we figured she might as well drop them in the mail for us.

Def do not let her do anything else. I have been in charge of everything so I wouldn't have issues like this. Good luck!
