Let me preface this by saying that I love my FMIL. My guy and I have been together for almost 7 years and I get along with her great. She is awesome and I really admire her.
That said, how much control does she get over the wedding plans? She isn't giving us moneywe didn't even ask because she's on financial hard times right now. My guy and I aren't very traditional and we aren't close to our extended families, so at first we weren't even going to invite them. My family is small but his is hugeItalian lol. So we asked his mom to give us a list of 20 peoplewhich is HALF of the total guest list.. my best friend thinks I should've only given FMIL 10 people max and now she's adding 5 people and telling us to invite them all because they probably won't all come. Really?? Because if they all do, 5 of them will have to stand and hold their plates.
How much should I be listening to her??
