I'm getting married next may. We are having it in our local church with lunch in the hall next door, room for 100 max.
We decided on our Guestlist of 95-100 people - 25 family members each side and 50 friends.
My mum has no parents or siblings and is not in contact with her nieces and nephews. She wants to invite 10 people from her side of the family who are her mum's brothers and sisters (all over 80, I've only met one or two of them). She was hurt that her family aren't 'represented' and insinuated that I was unthoughtful in not making sure shehad some family there.
This would make our venue uncomfortable - I think those ten would make a big difference.
Was IBU to nit ask their input on the Guestlist? Should I have thought about this?
They are not paying for the wedding, if that affects people's views. She has clearly been stewing over this for the last month since we announced our engagement, and tbh I feel really resentful that I'm being made out to be the problem.
