So. My husband got a call today from my FIL. My FIL said he got our invitation, went to Staples, bought paper that resembled our invitation, and printed more invitations.

So. My husband got a call today from my FIL. My FIL said he got our invitation, went to Staples, bought paper that resembled our invitation, and printed more invitations. We got our invitations from Minted. He used these new invitations to invite more of his friends to our wedding. My husband told him that this was not ok at all and way out of line. We did not give his dad a limit on how many people he can invite, but we did tell him that if we ran out of invitations: that's it. No more people. His dad said what's done is done. The only thing his dad is paying for is the band. We allowed him to invite plenty of his family and friends (even his mechanic) which made our guest list skyrocket to over 300.

Do I have the right to be livid? Do I have the right to tell him to uninvited these people or else pay for them? What do I do?

    This is definitely not okay. Also, why would he even be inviting people a year out from your wedding? Hopefully these people forget by then and just won't come.

    Wow! That is way out of line. I got a surge of anger on your behalf. I think your fiance should ask him about paying the extra cost for the extra people because that was crazy.

    I agree with Caytlyn. The gall of your fil that’s unbelievable! It would definitely be better if your FH handled the situation. I really hope you don’t let it slide, because this unfortunately may be a preview of things to come if he gets his way. Good luck!

    Wow, your FIL is unbelievable. Tell him uninvited guests will be turned away. Did he put RSVP information on them. Just tell them they got a counterfit invite.

    Yikes I'd be pissed. Either he pays for the extra costs of guests or they get turned away, that's that. But I also realize perhaps you'd have declines too so that's sort of a weird balance.
