She made professional, real looking copies of our invitations and gave them to everyone she felt should have been invited that wasn't. First of all, my invitation designer is really upset. She actually told me she wants to sue for copyright infringement. Second, what on earth am I going to do about this? We're quickly approaching room capacity, she isn't paying for anything so all of her extra people are being paid for by my parents, plus these people weren't invited because we didn't want them there. Obviously. So far, we've gotten RSVPs from 16 people that weren't on the guest list. She refuses to tell us who she invited or even how many.

So...

1. I'm really worried she invited his exes and girls that she likes more than me.

2. My parents should not have to pay for this.

3. She shouldn't have done this to begin with.

Does anyone have any suggestions? We've tried talking to her and she just ignores the questions she doesn't want to answer like how many people or why the heck she did this. I'm really upset.

    You should just watch out for names you did not invite and call them. Let them know the MIL made the choice to invite them. Let them know that you are flattered that they would like to attend but due to room capacity you are unable to allow them to join the wedding. If they already paid for the wedding gift you could offer to return it and send them the money or something. FIL's, am I right?

    Oh my God, I'm sorry but your FMIL sucks. That's some blatant disrespect right there especially if she refuses to pay for the extra people shes inviting. I would call those who RSVP'd to her invitations and tell them what's up and explain to them you didnt invite them. I would 100% make a list of those who are actually invited and coming and give it to whatever security your venue has. Your FMIL needs to cool her jets and stop acting like a spoiled brat.

    Completely unacceptable and just childish behavior. Yikes! So sorry you’re going through this. FH needs to have a talk with his mother and set some boundaries. If she is going to disrespect both of your wishes and feels so “offended” by your guest list, maybe she doesn’t have to be there.
