Just that really I didn’t realise it was a thing.

you are being unreasonable - Yes you should

you are NOT being unreasonable - Perfectlg acceptable not to invite them

Absolutely not

I’m not voting because I’m an “it depends”

I think if you are inviting your own mum/aunties etc then yes it would be kind to invite MIL.

I think it’s fine to not want MIL coming to your wild hen do party and to keep it as just mates if that’s what what you want to do

I had a separate afternoon tea hen do for my DM, MIL, other family members and then I had my “wild” evening out with friends.

I think it’s down to the bride.

I wouldn’t and did not. I don’t know anyone who has.

Maybe if you have the type of relationship where you feel you can let your hair down in front of your mil but I certainly am not relaxed when in her company.

Tho I assume this is about Holly. Considering the Mil was babysitting for her son’s child I fail to see how she would have gone. Also notice lack of did dad get invited to his own son’s stag.

I get the feeling huge backstory since she is now uninvited to the wedding. Not many people uninvited their mums. The story of the nasty dil stealing her baby already in motion.

I did. I also went on DDils. It think whether you do or not depends more on its the sort of do your MiL would enjoy rather than etiquette.

Depends what the "do" is.

Party/night out = yes
Activity/meal with a handful of people = no
