  Honestly, if the wording was the same for her other child's wedding then I don't think she has any room to complain.Unless of course she was upset and she bit her tongue.  Is it possible that she's getting a "Yet again, the mother of the groom just shuts up and wears beige," sort of vibe?   I'd just make the effort to include her.  I understand you on the tradition but just keep in mind that it can come across a wee bit as penalizing the parents for something they can't control (having boys).

  You keep repeating that you are old school, but IMHO you are just plain rude and egocentric. 

  
  

  I am not american, I am italian and live in London with my french husband. I got married last summer and in Europe it doesn't matter who pays how much towards the wedding. There are such things as basic manners and etiquette and treating your future family members with dignity and respect. 

  
  

  You have completely humiliated your future MIL (who gave birth to your husband!) and you have made yourself look dispicable, socially inept and like somebody who grew up in the gutter. 

  
  

  Your parents should have been wise enough to catch this appaling snub, but sadly I guess the apple does not fall far from the vulgar tree. 

  
  

  Petty, rude and utterly sad to treat somebody like this just because 'we are paying'. Does your family really need this pathetic recognition of payment this badly, to hurt a fellow mother this much?

  I am honestly completely revolted, thinking that people like this actually exist.
  

  
  

  Blah!

  I think 'SUSHIMONA' needs to practice what she preaches about being rude. I hate girls like that!

  Since it would seem that you also 'think', a bride excluding her fianceès mothers' name from an invite is acceptable, I'd like to suggest for you to keep your 'thinking' to a minimum. Nothing productive ever emerged from a 'thinking' vacuum.
