Hey all!
Since the beginning of the planning process, FMIL has made a point of saying "They weren't inviting anyone to the wedding!" They prefer to be more antisocial (FI included), and they wanted to make it abundantly clear that his guest list is substantially less than my family's list. When it came time to order our invitations, I asked FI if his mom wanted her name on the invites. His response was something to the effect of "Absolutely not, she doesn't want anyone to know she's involved." Invitations ordered.
Fast forward two weeks when invites are about to be delivered. FI decides to mention to his mom that her name wasn't included. She got really angry and started making passive aggressive comments. She even called a couple of her friends to see what the "right way" to do it was. We had a huge night of drama (we all live in the same house temporarily). I ended up reordering the portion that had her name on them (and had to pay again). I noticed at one point that her name was misspelled (there is one letter added in the middle), but in the rush of getting the order in, it slipped my mind. I noticed it today when I picked up the invites, and it is absolutely 100% my fault.
The stationer gave us a couple of options. We can reorder the middle panel and have it placed over the existing middle panel. We can do this either for every invite or just for his family/friends. My parents would like to reorder the entire invitation and have offered to pay. However, this would take a couple of weeks, and our RSVP date is April 16. I don't want to push it too close to the RSVP date. What should we do? I don't want to hurt her feelings or deal with the drama of upsetting her.Do we update just the panel (place it on top of the old one) or get a new one?
