Hi--
So I'm planning some pre-wedding activities, like a ladies luncheon and mani's/pedi's. My fiance would like his grandmother to be included, but i really just wanted it to be mom's and bridemaid's. Am I being a jerk? What do y'all think???

    No, I don't automatically think you're a jerk.  I can understand just wanting it to be the moms and bridesmaids. 

    I also think it depends on the grandma.  And if she'd even want to be invited along.  My grandma is painfully shy and she didn't want to be included in even the wedding-day styling.  Is it just FI that wants his grandma involved, or does FMIL or Grandma herself have an opinion?

    If it would make your fiance happy, then why not do it?

    I also think that plurals don't need apostrophes and one question mark will suffice.

    It all depends on your (and your FI's) family dynamics.  If grandma usually participates in all events, she'd probably be hurt not to be invited.  But if she usually avoids the non-necessary stuff, you don't need to include her.  H's grandmother came to a tea thrown by MIL, then I didn't see her again for wedding-related stuff until the RD.

    If I tried to include my grandma she would tell me that I am wasting money and it's all ridiculous...

    What's his grandma like? 

    I can totally understand you keeping it to moms and maids.  I'm just doing manis/pedis with my girls.
