Vent: My aunt ( Very Long)

Hi girls!

My aunt( mom's sister) is being difficult ever since I actively started planning the wedding. She has kept asking my mom " oh is so and so that knows so and so invited?" and my mom kept saying no, because we were not inviting very distant relatives, we also explained to her nicely that she couldn't bring her adult children because we had a lot of people of Fi's family to invite, she complained about that. Well long story short we sent out the invites that were not messed up by the calligrapher and had just enough.

So fast forward to now and some relatives from Brasil Rsvp NO, so we call my aunt and tell her to add her adult children to her RSVP since we had some openings and she says " well I don't know if they will come because they need their own formal invite"       I don't have anymore.....


My mom just told me that she called a week ago asking if I was having a Bridal Shower and what is the price range for gifts, she said that she could only bring a $25 gift....I don't care if she brings a gift or not, I just want her to just shut the eff up and stop complaining!  She had the nerve to ask my mom about personal wedding details and then tells my mom "well you are in the dark about your own daughters wedding and how sad that is".....My mom responded that she doesn't care because " My daughter and son in law hired wedding professionals to worry about the food , flowers and coordinating everything and I will be sipping mimosas with my daughter as I help her get ready!" This is not Puerto Rico 1968 when it was a Pot Luck wedding, and the brides mother was in the kitchen cooking for all the guests!!!

My mom says it's jealousy because her daughter is 6 months older than me and doesn't have a steady boyfriend and when she does all she brings is Hoodrats to family events.....


What do I do or say to this aunt of mine???


Thank you for reading I know it was long!

    I wouldn't even bother responding if I were you... about the formal invite, GET OUT OF HERE WITH THAT DUDE, you're opening up her invitation to add +++, thats like saying everyone in a household needs a seperate invitation for each.

    In the end, if they decide to come fine, and if they don't fine too... but I wouldn't stress about getting them their own invite so they feel special. Especially since your invites were pricey and if you try to send a different one she may take offense to that too.

    Don't bother telling her anything about being jealous since your mom's response was PERFECT!!!! :)

    Wow I am happy your mom said that to her! I would'nt know what to do I am bad with confrontation so I would probably just ignore it. So that would be my advice, ignore her until she says something to you otherwise let your mom handle it.

    I think your mom is doing a pretty good job of keeping her in her place, lol. Her responses to your aunts remarks were perfect. I say let her continue handling the aunt, and if it comes down to where you have to say something, then just tell her, you are out of invites and it is not in the budget for you to have more printed. And if they decide they don't want to come because you didn't send them a formal invite, then boo fricken hoo.

    Tell her your friend Becky did all her invites via email and none of her guests complained because they're NOT JERKS! Actually if I were you I'd ignore your aunt and go ahead and invite your cousins via email or handwritten letter or whatever. No one NEEDS a formal invite. That's ridiculous.
