My brother is getting married next year, wedding is a weekend affair about an hours drive from us. Told my brother that i would do his wedding stationary free as a gift from me ( i make wedding stationary and gifts). A few month ago the bride to be gave all guests a letter detailing events and the place where the wedding is to be held hav accomodation for close family only and that she had saved us a room to accommodate myself, dp and ds. Fast forward a couple of months and my mum tells me (after they went with my brother his partner and her parents to look at the venue) that the room that was being held for us has been given to someone else and then today their wedding invite turns up.
Pissed off is an understatement!
Aibu to tell em to stick it. They knew we were going and then give our room to someone else and then send out invites without even telling me they didn't want me to make them. Surley a polite no thank you but we're sorting it ourselves would of been more kinder.

Oh for sure the needs of OP's son are relevant.

Hence why they should all get together and talk about it.

They have a whole year more or less to resolve this. The important thing is - rooms have been reserved. Now they can talk about whether it is possible for OP's son to have somewhere to go or not. If not possible OP will have to make it clear to her brother that not having that space may mean they can't come.

We're planning our wedding and lots of people have offered to help out with all sorts of things in an off hand sort of way. I tend to go with nodding, and 'thank you, its so kind of you to offer', but unless someone then specifically talks to me about detail, i'm going ahead with whatever plans I have. I don't want people to feel obligated because they mentioned something a couple of months ago, and I don't want to change my plans because someone has offered something as a gift.

You need to speak to your brother. Gets too confusing passing info back and forth

I think you're being overly precious tbh.
