Need to Vent about F-mother-in-law

Original post by LuckiestGirl

So I asked my FH mother to give me her invitation count. . . We are figuring on 200 adults at our wedding. . . I told her my parents need 42 she gets back to me a week later and tells me she needs 86 invites that in itself is almost 200 people she was like 'well i have to invite them all i dont want any problems'.....SHE DOESNT WANT PROBLEMS my parents are paying for everything and i think since that is the case she should cut her list .... I also think if she is going to invite all those people she should pay for any above the 200 since my parents are only inviting a total of 76 people. . . . . what do you think please give me feedback am i wrong

cut her list...plain and simple. tell her that your parents have said that the list has to be cut, cause they are the ones paying for it.

it always amazes me how when ppl are NOT paying, that they think they have a right to tell you WHO they MUST invite to YOUR wedding.

get your FH to help you on this one, cause it will be a battle!



I agree!

What is it with these FMonsterIL's, they really are nuts.
I agree, I would tell her that you HAVE to stick to a budget and just to keep the peace maybe tell her to come up wirh her A list of 42 and a B list. Tell her that if you get any no's then she can start to add from the B list (not really though ) at least that might keep her quiet for now. GL

I agree with the other girls! Cut her list and be done with it. Give her a # of how many she can invite and state any guests over that we are going to need you pay for. I always try to be the nice guy and sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and lay it on the line. This is this and that is that. Good Luck!

Perhaps you should get your FH involved if she's being that big of a pain.

Maybe see if she's willing to pay for anyone over X number of guests. Also, have you taken into considerration the guests on her list that may not come anyway?
