So I have a big family being the youngest of 9 and I wanted my family at my wedding even though we want a small wedding. My fiance is an only child but his mom's side is big but he doesn't like them and their drama and never talks to them and they never try and visit. I feel bad that most of the guests are my family but my fiance seems ok with it and it was his decision. Also since out venue only holds 128 people and we want friends there too.
We told my fiance's mom that we didn't want her side of the family there and they were not invited because of the reasons above plus he never sees them. So she goes around us and invites them and says just because you invite then doesn't mean they will go. And then continues to ask them for thier address and if I could send the invitations out to them since she asked them to pay for our honeymoon which we didn't ask for. We are getting married on our 10 year anniversary so she is telling everyone not to give us housewear even though our kitchen stuff is broken, stratched up, or dented. We would love a new pan!
She had a +1 for a second cousin that our daughter loves and it turned into +33. I'm not sending out the invitations but I'm so stressed about the situation. She even took most of our honeymoon off and is staying with us and we haven't had a vacation in 6 years. I think it is to babysit but the trip we are taking is only two nights.
I'm not a party planner, or a good host. I'm so overwhelmed. I have anxiety about upsetting a ton of people. But I'm tired of other people forcing things on me that I don't want. I just needed to vent.
