Mother in law in bridal suite while you're getting ready?

Originally FH and I were going to be getting ready in separate rooms in the same hotel. If that had been the case, FMIL would have been with us girls (meaning the bridesmaids and my mom). I wasn't DYING for that to happen. I love my FMIL but she can be a bit overbearing, and I really wanted to be able to have that moment with my mom.

As is stands, we decided to forgo the hotel rooms and FH will get ready at our house and I will be a half hour away at my childhood home. Since we want FMIL to be with my FH for pre-ceremony family photos, she will get ready at her sister's house and then go to our house to meet FH, FFIL, and the groomsmen. This leaves me to get ready with my bridesmaids, my mom, and my aunt. And my dad, lol, but he clearly isn't getting hair or makeup done

Oh yes my FMIL will be there without a doubt she was there for everything else.

I hadn't thought much about this. I know she won't be with us most of the time because she'll be getting ready at home (an hour away) before coming to the wedding venue. If she gets there early and wants to hang with us, I don't see the problem with it. The only thing that'll bug me is if she starts telling people not to drink (she's kind of a prude) as we'll have champagne and whatnot there.

My future Mother in law as well as her sister have requested to be in the room and help me get ready. My FH is an only child and there are no females on his side of the family so neither one of them would get this opportunity again and my FH is very close with his mother. I may have my mom there as well since she has requested to be there. Only issue I have is that the hotel im staying at and getting ready at only allows a small number of guests to be on the property that day. I believe their number is four including hair/makeup artist and photographer so im not sure if I will be allowed to have my mom, future mother and law and her sister all there.

Yep she was there. I also had my grandmothers and H's grandma come in as well. I thought it was great. However I started getting ready around 1230. It was just me and my bridesmaids until around 2ish. Maybe tell her to get there a little later so you can have some alone time with your mom.

She needs to learn to live with your FMIL. How many family functions are they going to be together at in the future? Both sets of my Grandparents are divorced and remarried. When I was little they had a hard time being around each other but my mother put her foot down and said this is the way it's going to be in regards to special occasions and they had to deal with it.

I am not having my FMIL. My mother and my sisters are the only ones that will be there. After I get dress then I will meet with the girls at the church.

I had both my mom and my MIL there. I paid for everyones hair and make up and automatically included her in that, it never crossed my mind to NOT have her there. Her son getting ready isn't that big of a deal, but seeing the bride, your future daughter in law seems more special, I think.

Shouldnt his mom be with her son? My fiance's mom will be with him and his dad, helping them get dressed and put their flowers on. I wont see her at all until the ceremony.

The bridal suite is tiny, so we can only fit me and my Mom and my MOH. That would be my excuse. I just want that moment with my own Mom.

ETA: I'm weird, and if you've seen my previous posts, my FMIL is as sweet as she can be, but she hasn't had much of life outside of this wedding. I need a little bit of a breather once all of this is over.

Mine will be there! I LOVE my FMIL! Granted, we're not getting ready at the venue, but FMIL, MOB, both FGs and three out of four BMs will be at the salon for hair and make-up the morning of. (One girl wanted to do her own hair and make-up). I CANNOT WAIT!!

Didn't even ask my MIL - she didn't ask so no she wasn't there.

Psh. I'll have all sorts of people in there. My mom, my grandma, my aunts and cousins, FH's mom, aunts and cousins... it's fine. The more people to "squeeeeeeeeee" with, the better.

Both of the moms will be there with me. I have no issue with my FMIL being there. We're all jsdut going to have a great time and the wedding will be a great party!!!!

Both of the moms will be there with me. I have no issue with my FMIL being there. We're all just going to have a great time and the wedding will be a great party!!!!

Wow, was not expecting such polarizing reactions to this! Dang. Well I appreciate all of the input ladies.

@Shanon: I love that you used the word "squeee!" haha, made me giggle.

I didn't know this was a big deal LOL I plan on inviting my FMIL to get ready with us she is such a sweet lady it seems rude to not invite her.

My mom was a hairstylist, so she's doing my hair and will be with me and my daughter getting ready. I do not want my FMIL with us. It's time for me and my mother to reflect on personal things and I just don't feel comfortable with doing that around her. I will have the rest of my life to spend time with my "new family". I just want one last day with my "old" one.

Noway!!!! im just having my girls and my mother there. im not close with her either and shes given such a hard time with things in the past its just better shes not there. but i feel like its a mother daughter moment the mother of groom should be with her son while hes getting ready..thats just me though and thats how it was in the old days.. im traditional though.

My FMIL is getting her hair done with us at the salon. She'll probably go back to my house to spend time with FI and her H until the wedding rather than go to the venue with us but I have zero problem if she wants to come hang out with us in the bridal suite when it gets closer to the wedding. My FI's sisters are bridesmaids in the wedding and his niece is the flowergirl so I would expect her to want to come be with us for a bit before the ceremony. My mom will join us later as well but she won't hang out with us in the bridal suite the entire time...she'll be too busy wrangling family.
