My mom has offered to pay for my wedding dress and of course, wants to fly out to help me pick it out. We are having a really small wedding. 50 people max. Immediate family and friends that are like family. Only plus ones that are in a relationship.
When I was talking to my mom today about when she should come out for the trip she says she invited my aunt. She has a HUGE family. 10 siblings. And most are fighting with each other at any given time. But her and 'aunt' are getting along great and she says they have gotten past their differences. Fine, come out for the trip. I've always liked her even if it's been ages since I've seen her.
But my question is, do I have to invite her to the wedding now?? I feel like it's weird to say "thanks for helping me pick the dress, sorry you don't get to see me wear it." But I don't want all the other relatives to wonder why she gets an invite but they don't. I was thinking maybe she can be my mom's plus one since my mom is single. Thoughts?
