The NERVE of some people (Obviously a vent)

OK so my room hold 220 we guarenteed 150 (which I knew would be no problem) Anyway as time went on our list grew from 175 - 220

FMIL calls me and tells me she needs to add 2 friends and guest. I tell her we are at our limit. SHe tells me that FH's God Mother needs to be invited............... OK fine right?


Errrrrrrrrrrr (Brakes squeel) who on gods green earth is FH's GM?

So FH comes home and I ask him? I said in 8 years and 2 kids I have never once heard of a GM he says I have no idea who my GM is I haven't seen or spoken to her since I am 5 yrs old.

OK so ha she ever called or sent a card? NO

So my FMIL sends home the addresses to my FSIL who is also my MOH and she tells me no way they weren't invited tro my wedding 7 years ago they are not coming to yours so I agree.

I would feel very uncomfortable if I walked into my shower and were greeting friends and family and stumbled upon these 2 unknown strangers

So FSIL says I will handle it so she calls FMIL and tells her that we are at our limit and have even cut friends off of the list etc.... That we even went so far as to ask my brothers not to bring dates just for the sake of bringing dates.

I didn't invite my Grandma's brother and sister my great aunt and uncle and I am going to invite strangers GTFOOH (bad word)

So FMIL tells FSIL that
she wants to know who my Mother's friends that are invited and why are my co-workers invited?

Is she serious right now?

My mother's friends have known me since I am little and have been there through baby showrs, sweet 16's etc..... They send my kids and me cards on our birthdays.

and my Co workers I know more about them there children there grandchildren there pets and neighbors pets then I do about these 2 people.

IM putting my foot down they are NOT invited and FH is going o back me up!

I could see if she offered to cover the plates but how dare you tell me that I HAVE TO invite these people and that I have to pay for them!

She pulled the same Sh!t with FH's 30th surprise party. I told her no kids and she went and told her family its my son and I said kids are invited needless to say the ones who did bring kids complained that the music was too loud for kids and that people were too drunk!

Oh My!
You are right though. You shouldn't have to invite anyone that you don't want to.. esp if you don't even know the person. I get that she is the GM but she didn't play an active GM role in his life.. so really is she a GM? IMO she isn't!
It's nice that FSIL and FH both back you up. I'm sure you will win this one! Some people really do have nerve. This is right up there with responding 4 to the RSVP when only 1 plus guest was invited (someone was posting about that the other day). The things people do sometimes.. well the level of audacity they can have is just shocking!

Good Luck with everything!

ugh these are the things that PISS ME OFF!!! my fmil and my own mother even gave me a list of people that should be invited, and I was like 'who the hell are these people'. and the answer is 'well, that's so and so's 2nd cousin, and if we invite this one, we HAVE to invite that one' you get the idea. My parents are paying half of the RH, we are paying the rest. we have 100 max (we can go over, but there's no way in hell I'm going to let that happen!). So what I'm going to do is present them with a final list, and then tell them, if you want so and so there, this is the price you have to pay for them.

OMG. I would totally get really pissed off about that. FMIL is doing some similar stuff with her long lost BFFs. . .FH had to put his foot down because of cost.
