Rehearsal dinner mixup

Your response was perfect. She is being rude. It is very common to invite immediate family only along with the bridal party and their SOs. Don't worry about it anymore. You did nothing wrong.

It sounds like she's over reacting and being dramatic. Especially the part where she said that she was sorry to think she was part of your family. That was rude and uncalled for. I wouldn't worry about it. If she brings it up again, tell her it's only for the wedding party and parents and change the subject. You did nothing wrong.

Can you have your mother or father intervene here? Someone needs to tactfully give this woman a reality check, and inform her not to contact the bride at this moment unless it's to offer help or sincere congratulations. No-one should give a bride this kind of anxiety right before the big day. Sheesh!

As all PP's said, you did nothing wrong. When it comes to weddings, so many people think they're entitled to this or entitled to that. It's ridiculous. Try not to let it get to you, you're almost to the big day!

It's not about her. She needs to get over herself. You've said your peace and did so in a very elegant way. Don't stress. It will all be okay You're SO close!!! Congrats

Your response was perfect. I'm so sorry she is being like this.

I agree that she's acting very entitled and rude. Stick to your original RD guest list!

It's not uncommon to not invite aunts and uncles to a rehearsal dinner. And really, they're not a big deal. They're just to go over the details of the actual ceremony. If she's not involved in the ceremony at all, there's no reason for her to be at the rehearsal dinner. Just explain to her that you're trying to keep costs down and couldn't afford to invite all aunts and uncles. Hopefully she's understanding! Or, maybe have a little get together somewhere (hotel lobby, someone's house, etc.) after the rehearsal dinner just to have a glass of wine or coffee or whatever and invite her to that?!
