My FH and I wanted to pay for the our wedding ourselves, but his mother insisted on giving us some money for it, with no strings attached. So we are accepting some money from them. We aren't close to his out of town family because neither of us see them or talk to them. The amount of times we will see them again during our lifetime would be only a handful of times (basically just for weddings and funerals). The only reason we are inviting them to the wedding is because my FH's dad would've been really upset, and we felt that since we are accepting money we should just invite the out of town family as a kind gesture in return. My FH couldn't care less about his extended family. And I'm inviting my extended family too, however I see them a lot and I am close to them, so it's a little different. Even my mom thinks the whole thing is utterly ridiculous and is adamant that my FH and I should not entertain out of town guests at our rehearsal dinner, even if it ends up with them attending. Basically she thinks his parents should be the ones to entertain them at the dinner. But would it offend my FH's parents to ask to plan the rehearsal dinner ourselves? I know typically that the groom's parents plan the rehearsal dinner. I don't know what else to do. I shouldn't have to be this stressed about my rehearsal dinner.
