My dad just said he won't attend my RD, if he's not coming I'm not sure my mom will either

This is partially my fault I guess, I procrastinated with figuring out what we were doing for us and the 10 ppl attending.  We briefly considered doing the dinner at my parents house but their dining area is a little small for 10.  I told them we were going out to dinner at a semi casual restaurant afterwards.  He flipped his lid and just said he isn't going at all and neither is my mom, even tho my IL's to be will be there, along with my infant son and my FI's nepew my dad is insisting that it's going to be some big party atmosphere that they will be out of place at.  We are paying for the dinner ourselves so it's not like I am asking him to pay for it.  My mom agrees with me that it is going to look strange for FI's parents to be there but not them but my dad is hearing none of it, so now the only solution my mom can come up with is to drive to the rehersal, then drive 20 mins out of her way to drop my dad off at the house so he can stay home and pout instead of going to dinner, which would then put everyone else way behind if we waited for her.  She said we can go ahead and eat and she will eat when she gets there, but I cannot imagine my mom missing my RD, which she will for sure miss a large portion of it.  He does this from time to time, anytime there is something big going on he seems to get in a huff and have a fit if he isn't the one making all the decisions.

I just don't even want to have a RD at this point.
