I’ve posted about this before but I have finally reached my wits end and have no idea what to do.
My FMIL offered to pay for the rehearsal dinner. Okay, great! She then proceeded to invite her whole family (50+ And all in town) we told her this isn’t what we wanted and would be pretty disrespectful to not invite my family as well which would add 50+ more (which would basically be our wedding). We told her we would just pay and get the dinner we wanted, but she instigated she wanted to pay and would follow our wishes.
We booked a restaurant that would only allow 40 people so we figured, perfect! She then proceeded to call and book a table for some of her family too. I thought, okay I can compromise, they’ll be at a table a little ways away and just having a separate dinner since we’re all staying at the place anyways. It has now come to light (two weeks before the wedding) that she added additional space to our rehearsal room for her family and is now guilt tripping us that people will be upset that she invited half the people and not the others. She even sent rehearsal dinner invites to her family instead of discreetly paying for their dinner. Everything has been so manipulative, which is strange bc she’s normally such a wonderful person.At this point I’m considering not even going to the rehearsal dinner or just pulling my bridal party and parents (only 10 out of the 50+ people invited) out of it and having sandwiches with them all back in my suite. They would be happy with that! I just feel like my wishes (and my fiancés) and my family is being so disrespected I can’t even pretend this is okay anymore. So what do I do?
