Bridal shower invites

Marjoyrie, on July 2, 2021 at 12:48 AM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 8
So I made my bridal shower invites with my mom online… The original plan was that my FMIL would make them for me, but ever since her sciatic nerve started acting up .. she told me that she wouldn’t be able to do them for me after all…. Then she said she might not be able to go to my bridal shower because of how bad her pain was… Let me also include that she will be getting back surgery 2 weeks before my bridal shower… So point of the story is, now my fmil is upset that I didn’t put her name on my bridal shower invites. I only put “RSVP (MOB) “my moms name”…. She asked my fiancé how come I didn’t add her name as well? I figured first of all she’s hurt badly and to be honest she’s been not much help in the first place for all the decor or anything. She’s also been extremely rude to my mom every time we would ask for help with ideas on things for the bridal shower. Am I in the wrong here? When I did the invites I figured she wouldn’t want to help anyways since she told us she can’t hardly do anything anyways because of her back pain… I meant nothing by it by not adding her name to the RSVP… As it is my mom is the only one doing all the decorations and planning and hiring venders for it while my fmil isn’t doing anything.

    I don't think you were wrong. I understand why you didn't put her name on the invite especially since she doesn't even plan on being there. If she was actually helping host the event then yes her name would have been included. She is overreacting in my opinion.

    She’s definitely not in the right—I’ve found the people most bothered by this sort of thing are typically the ones who don’t actually want to do the work of hosting, etc.

    You are definitely not wrong, especially if she isn't contributing to it. Why would her name be on the invitation?

    Totally fine - it would be confusing to have multiple points of contact to RSVP anyway. My mom, SIL, and cousin hosted my bridal shower (all three were listed as hosts on the invites) but they used just one person's contact information to collect RSVPs.

    This is an odd thing for her to be upset about. Even if she's helping host, it's really best to just have one person's contact information listed so the RSVPs are all going to one place and people don't get lost in the shuffle.

    Def. not in the wrong here. She didn't help much with planning and didn't help make the invitations, so I'm not sure why she expected to be included on the invites to RSVP to. It's easiest to have all RSVPs go to one person anyways, so she really has nothing to be upset about.

    You are not in the wrong at all! I’m she would’ve complained if she had been listed and getting RSVPs for your shower given her pain and upcoming surgery!
