I just smile and laugh when someone says am I invited' and then change the subject... As for your fmil, she should respect your wishes for your wedding and run these things by you. In my opinion you should have the final say and if her friends get upset its on her lol.
I feel your pain!! I can't believe how people ask to be invited. I would feel so weird to do that. I also wanna kill my mom who wants to invite every friend she's ever had.
Everyone we've ever met and a bunch we've never met! Uggghhh....

I pretty much tell them everything they want to know lol.... If you wanna ask I'll give you an answer, doesn't mean I'm inviting you. I think it's pretty rude to push a bride to invite...theres a reason she's not inviting you! lol

Tell me about it. FMIL gave me a list. I gave her the invites for the people on the list. So some of them stated that they would not be able to come so she decided that she was going to give the invites to other people. I am beyond frustrated. I am over my minimum and still have not received RSVPs from most of the people on her list. And I do not even know the names of the new people she decided to invite. I told FH that we need to figure out today who's coming and who's not. If she doesn't want to contact them she can give me their contact information and I will because I'm the one who is stressing out.
I'm so tired. I can't function. I have so much work to do before I go on vacation for the wedding and I do not know how I am going to do it. I do not drink coffee but I think I'm going to have to start.
Then we have the people who think they should get invited just because they know me/him/us. If you are not significant in my life why would you think you would be invited to such an intimate invite. This one person said can I be invited please I love weddings and I give good gifts. Are you serious??? Who says that???(Now I am ranting...lol. I'm done)Thanks for posting so that I could also vent :)
I'm going through it now. I just told both my mom and FMIL if they are not on my list you will pay extra for them. I'm just praying it's not too many Yes.... My mom keeps saying they will not show up but will be offended if they know they didn't get invited. My answer to her, 'Then keep your mouth closed!!!' LOL

I totally understand what you mean. My FMIL added 20 people to her list. So frustrated and annoyed. There goes my small wedding

Beyooooooonddddd annoyed at all the people who keep asking to come to our wedding, and those that are invited who are asking to Bring dates, and ready to drop kick my fmil for telling all her friends 'sure you can bring someone, if you had a husband he would be invited!'![]()

Rant over (almost )
I, also, had someone say they 'give good gifts' as a reason to be invited to the wedding. (Acqaintance of FH.) I think that's kind of desperate, if you as me. It's like, 'I'll pay you to invite me.' Oh well, I guess it takes all kinds...

I am having the same issue. About 3/4 of my wedding guest list is made up of my FH's family and/or friends of the family. Then we had one of his aunts trying to push us to invite her grandkids and my mom's bf was trying to push his grandkids also. I was like I'm not even inviting any of my family on my father's side (long story, I don't even talk to them anymore, no reason for me to invite them)so if we get any no's, the space goes for me to invite more friends. Very frustrating how some people just say things without even thinking and what drives me crazy is when I hear 'you should do this, you should do that' ARGHH!!
I just love the fact that his side of the family is all the nos! I'm st the point I don't even care, it's just tasteless and obnoxious to ask to be invited to something... FHs cousin even made s big stink about being invited w her bf and after I finally gave in she says she isn't bringing him.... Uggggggghhh please go play in traffic
