So I am a total lurker, leaving little comments here and there, but I need some advice.
Usually I get along great with FMIL, but as it is getting closer to the wedding, she is getting a little crazy.
We are using 'her' for our invites and she came up with an awesome design. FH was really happy with it, so we went ahead and booked.
FMIL was pissed that we didn't get our invites from a guy that she has been getting invites from for years, and on Saturday she tells FH that she ordered invitations in Spanish to send out to her family from this guy.
So he tells his mother to cancel them, that everyone is getting our awesome invite that we are spending a ton of money on. She wants to send all the Spanish people BOTH! As per her, so that they can keep the 'good' invitation for remembrance and use the Spanish one for the information.
FH is livid, because when he told her that we were not spending postage to send some people 2 invites, she was like, I'll send them separately.
Now do I have a right to be upset or should I just drop the whole thing?

Do the people that she's sending them to speak and read English fluently? If not, maybe she just wants to make sure that everyone understands everything?

Id be a little upset (I try not let anything bother me) I would sit down and talk to her and explain that the invitations you two ordered are the only ones going out and if you want you can you her 'guy' for the rehersal dinner/ bridal shower/ thank you cards/ etc

Unfortunately, you have to pick your battles. I'd send out my kick-@ss invites first and not even tell her. If she wants to send out her Spanish ones, let her. It's not going to detract from yours in any way.
