So far I have been very lucky in terms of family drama.  For the most part there hasn't been any.  Well I was talking to my Mom last night and she was a liitle upset.  Apparently my step-sister was complaining to her dad (my step-dad) that she isn't invited to the rehearsal dinner.  She told him that my Mom specifically told her she wasn't invited.  So of course now my Mom is upset because she has never said anything to anyone about the rehearsal dinner.  My Mom doesn't even really know all the details of the RD because FI and I are the ones planning it and we are just getting to finalizing the plans.

The thing is I wasn't going to invite her.  The room where we are having the RD is small and does not hold a lot of people.  FI and I decided it would be the wedding party and their significant others and our parents.  Plus FI's Dad is paying for the RD so I don't feel comfortable adding anyone else.  So basically I am slightly ticked off right now!  I fell like if I add her that opens it up to having to invite others.

Ok, just had to get that out...

    I feel your pain! One of FI's relatives invited some random woman to our wedding and theres really no way of getting her out now ughhh. So frustrating.

    But for our RD we had to tell some ppl that they weren't invited, and they'll get over it. Just make sure you stress to her that its for people involved in the ceremony and parents ONLY. Its definitely okay to do that. Especially when there is limited room and someone else is paying for it.

    GL!!

    Thank you, I really appreciate it!!

    I kinda feel the same way that if she doesn't like it she can get over it.  We aren't even that close.  My Mom is just one of those people who doesn't want to upset anyone...

    I definitely think it's ok to let her know it's only wedding party and their significant others and parents.  We're having our rehearsal dinner on Thursday and the wedding on Saturday.  Most of the wedding guests are coming from out of town so they won't be in until Friday anyway, but some people are coming into town on Thursday.  I've been asked if my grandparents can come, if my aunt and uncle can come, if my cousin can come and I've always given the same answer....wedding party and parents only.  If you let her come, there will be probably be other people who will want to come.
