Mother In Law in Bridal Suite or no?

I think that's a thing people do! That sounds fine.

My FMIL might join us in the bridal suite for a quick pop in before the ceremony.

People do it if they like their mother in law. Mine MIL will likely be chasing around fiance's family and getting his sisters dressed so I don't think she'll come.

It’s really up to you. If you’re close and you wouldn’t mind sharing that experience with her, I’m sure she would appreciate the offer. If not, there’s no obligation.

Yes, if you have a good relationship with your FMIL then it is polite to invite her. I invited mine but she chose to get ready in her room which was fine with me since I knew it made her feel more comfortable.

I invited mine. I think it’s nice, plus she will be my kids’ grandmother.

My FMIL AND my FSMIL(step mom) will be getting ready with us. I would have invited them anyway, but it was really my mom that suggested it in the first place. I think it’s a nice gesture but certainly not necessary.

If there's room in the suite, invite her if you'd like

If you are perfectly fine with the idea, invite her. She has the option to say no if she wants but she can cherish the thought or even the memories made while everyone got ready. Besides it might make your relationship with her better because you were thoughtful to include her in the bridal suite.

My mil will be joining us.

It is really up to you if you want to do that, and if you feel comfortable with that. I know a lot of brides ask their mothers in law to join them. For me, I am really not on good terms with my FMIL so that is totally out of the question. But, you should go for it, if you'd like!

I am inviting my mother in law. I am so close to her and she has been such a big help in everything. I think it is important to have these memories with her so she and I can tell stories to my kids. And she also doesn’t have any daughters so she is living out having a daughter through me since we are the first couples to get married. And the oldest son might never get married and the youngest son’s fiancé is super close with her mom and grandmother. I just feel like it will be a super close bonding thing for us.

I would invite mine, but FH is getting ready at her place, so I'm guessing she'll want to be with him and the rest of her family.

Also, I fully expect my dad and my stepmother to be there, given our timeline, so that might make it crowded.

I am having my FMIL and FSIL get ready with me the bridesmaids, my mom and my aunt. I did it out of respect and to make them feel included. But I wouldnt feel obligated to invite her if you dont want her there. It is your day and you can have who ever you want with you.

I will extend the invitation for her to join us. My mom isn't in the picture and my FMIL and I get along so well.

I was actually just chatting about this with my mom yesterday. I am actually going to start the morning with just my bridal party, a lot of them are coming from out from town, so I really want to embrace some time with them, and then have the Mom's from both sides come and join us.

that way I get special moments with everyone and everyone feels included and special.

My MIL came to get ready with us - I think she was happy to be included - and it was a really good time, just hanging out with the ladies, getting ready. We got some really good pictures from it too

My MIL will most likely be since my SIL is in my bridal party.
