Guest List Etiquette Question

agu101

I am having a maid & matron of honor, and I had origianlly intended to invite both of their parents to my wedding since we all grew up together.  However, shortly after I got engaged my matron got engaged and already had her wedding.  My parents were not invited to her wedding, and now my mom is insistant I can't invite her parents to my wedding.  Is that the rule?

That's not a rule.  You can invite them if you want.  Invites don't need to be tit for tat.

However, who is paying?  If your mom is paying then she does get input into the guest list.

Tell your mother to stop acting like a child.  Weddings are not tit for tat.  If you are close to them, then you should be able to invite them to your wedding, regardless of the fact that your mother was not invited to your friend's wedding.
