I'm so done wedding planning.

OMG!!!! They should since they insisted they should be invited. I'm in a similar situation but no houseboat "FIL Island" for them to runaway to. Our Rehearsal dinner is going to literally include just about everyone who is coming to the wedding haha FIL's are a bit craz--tastic when it comes to weddings.

@Melissa, we cancelled the rehearsal dinner. My FIL's were demanding we have it on their boat (which cannot hold my family) so to avoid insulting my family, we cancelled it.

Do we have the same in laws!?!? lol

Oh man...I'm sorry! Seems like everyone's in-laws are cray cray lately!

@manders, you're almost there hun dont give up, but instead join the IDGAF club :-)

@Manders - it would make a ton of sense!!! I got the 'if these people aren't invited, there will be consequences'... I said 'ok, you remember that when we have kids'. She stopped that quickly.

Ay yi yi.

FMIL should be forking over some dough to reserve some hotel rooms for her distant family then since she insisted they be invited.

Don't let this ruin your wedding day. By the time it actually happens, you'll be thankful that everyone's enjoying themselves. The "more the merrier principle" once you've paid the vendors off.

I'd say discuss getting these folks off the guest list, but invites have already been sent, and RSVP's have already been received. The best thing you can do at this point is recommend nearby hotels.

Personally, most people understand that if they travel to a wedding, accommodations and those costs will be on them, and not the people who invited them.

@rusticbride, I suggested to FH that she pay for their dinner. It's $50/person. He said that she can't afford that... well neither can we!!! We have already had to push off our honeymoon because of all the "traditional obligations".

I was seriously just about to post about being so over wedding planning. Then I saw this! I just want the wedding day to be here. I know everyone says I should be enjoying this time, but I'm honestly not. Don't get me wrong, I am VERY excited to be marrying FH. There have just been so many things (RSVP's, wedding coordinator changing, budget, everyone's opinions, other drama, etc) that have made this process exhausting and not fun. I still have to finish the seating arrangements for the reception, place cards, minor detail to centerpieces, bridal party gifts, and pick out my earrings.

Every bride has drama and aggravation with wedding planning. Just keep in mind though, the most important thing on the wedding day and over those few days is marrying your FH. Despite all the craziness, remembering that is what makes this all worth it.

Mrs. Little, I think there needs to be a meeting of the IDGAF club!

That's just what your FH is saying. Have you asked his parents yourself? These are the tough conversations that have to be had during wedding planning, but typically, they end up going over just fine.

Keep in mind too that your FH will never TRULY understand the pressures of being a bride/wife/mother/all of those at the same time, so I wouldn't take his word as 100% accurate. Not saying he's "lying," but that men just don't understand what's involved, and that sometimes lets them stray away from awkward conversations that they don't want to have with their parents.

I am literally over everything, too. I've noticed that all things wedding related quickly turn into about what is best/easiest/whatever for everyone else and not 100% about the bride and groom.
