I didn't know where else to vent about this so apologies. Ok so I have two issues that have annoyed me surrounding my hen party and want to find out if I'm being unreasonable to be upset.
My sister/maid of honour has taken the hen party organisation on all by herself. I didn't ask her to do this, she offered but I've been more than willing to help. She's kept it a complete surprise from me so I don't know any details except the date and that it will be an overnight thing. She's in her last year at uni so busy time for her. Friends and family have been slow in getting back to her. My future mother in law and sister in law(who is being a bridesmaid) have both decided it's too expensive and will not be staying overnight with us (just doing the activities). I know money can be an issue for people but my sister would not have chosen something that the majority would find too expensive (she's a student so can't afford much anyway). Now I wouldn't mind them not staying but it's the fact that they haven't let me know? Just seemed like it would be courteous. My sister was very surprised to know that I had only found out through her.
The second more important issue is that the night before the hen party was being booked, my mother in law told my fiance that she would not be going to my hen at all unless he invited her partner to his stag party. I was appalled. They aren't close at all; he doesn't see him as a step dad or anything. We are having a joint paint-balling day on the sunday and he was invited to that but she said she wouldn't feel right coming to mine if he wasn't at my partner's. Apparently a grown man can't be left on his own? Am I right to be livid that she wants to dictate who should be invited? His stag was supposed to be his best friends and his dad would be at some of it.
