So our wedding is 6 months away and we are having issues planning the rehearsal dinner. My fiance's father and his wife offered to pay for and plan our rehearsal dinner which was really nice. I gave her a few places that I would like to have the dinner and and told her what date the rehearsal was and how many people we are expecting to invite. While I was researching places, I realized that a friend of mine owns a nice Italian restaurant near our venue and I contacted him in regards to having the dinner there. He said he would take care of us and wanted to know what he could do to help. When I contacted my FFIL's wife she said that they want to have the dinner on the Friday before the wedding instead of the Thursday because people have to work on Thursday and that she didn't want me to worry about where to have the dinner because they would handle it.
I then explained to her that the rehearsal has to be on Thursday since our venue has weddings on Friday nights. She kept saying what about people who have to work Friday and what if people can't make the rehearsal by 5 or 6pm. I simply explained that people will have plenty of notice and they will be able to make arrangements to be there.
I just feel that they don't really understand that this is how things have to be and its not even under my control. They have been nothing but a source of stress since the day my fiance and I got engaged and I really just don't know how to handle things or what to do.
Any advice ladies?! I could really use it!
