Invite wording

jaimeb518

Months ago my fiance and I were at dinner with his parents and we were talking about invites.  They said their names shouldn't be one them.  Now that the invitations are here, my soon to be mother in law is beyond hurt that their name is not on them.

I am beyond angry.

What should I do?

I agree that this is FI's responsibility.

If his parents are paying for the wedding, their names should have been on the invites.  If they aren't, their names are not needed because they are not hosting the wedding.

I would definitely let your FI handle his mom.

Have your FI talk to his mother.  He should let her know that the two of you together were attempting to honor her wishes as you understood them (e.g., "Mom, we love you dearly and we would never attempt to leave you out of this important event! But when we discussed this over dinner two months ago, you and Dad said that you would prefer not to be listed as hosts on the invitation. We honestly thought this was what YOU wanted...").

Definitely let your FI handle this one, it's his parents. I think if you end up saying "but you said you didn't want to be on the invites..." it will only end in trouble.
