I haven't been on the boards this past week because we have been CRAZY busy with wedding stuff. Friday was my fitting (and found out my veil is the wrong color), Saturday we saw our sample centerpiece (and FMIL went on a 20 minute a** ripping rant at the florist- ), and Sunday was my shower. I had my mom and 2 BMs help me stuff, seal, and stamp 160 invites. FH gets home and tells me his mom wants a list of all the shower gifts- which I am fine with.....and then he adds....
' and she wants the price from the registry there. If they didn't give enough- she wants to take them off the guest list'
I was speechless!!! So, my BMs cooled me down and we sent out my side on Monday, and figured he would come to his senses- NO CHANCE!!!
So now I have his side of invites at my office- to make sure they ALL go out!!!
Has anyone EVER heard of this??!?! That it is ok to invite someone to a shower....and then NOT the Wedding!?!?!?!?
His sister defends the mom by saying 'Why does Angela care- these are Mom's friends, not hers'.....that does not make is acceptable!

I've never heard of such thing. IMO is that's a bit harsh and cruel.

That is really tacky
You don't invite someone to the Shower and then not to the wedding
And why did she scream at the florist?

she screamed at the florist because there were 2 centerpieces on display- ours and one that costs $150 more....guess which one she liked? When the florist tried to explain to her it was at a difference price point, she got offended the florist would give us 'cheap flowers'! They were the same type of flowers, just twice as many!
AND- she has said MULTIPLE times she thinks my $5,000 budget for flowers is too high.....but now she is trying to double it!!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!
AND....because of her temper tantrum.....she got my centerpieces for my shower for free.....WTH?!?!

that is really classless You can't take a gift from a shower and decide it's not enough so you disinvite them to the wedding
