FI's GM keep texting him and asking him when our wedding date is. Uhh scary yes but I chalk it up to them being men. FI is in a wedding in 2 weeks and I swear if I didn't remember the date and book our flights he would miss the whole dang thing. I guess his GM's wives aren't as on top of our wedding date as I am of his friends. Anyways FI asked yesterday if we could send the invites to his GM so they have it and stop asking. We weren't planning to send invites out until July 31 so it is about a month early. I wouldn't care so much but there are a few snags with that.
Both of our best men's parents are invited. And one of the best man's younger sister, in-laws and sister in-law are also invited since FI is close with him and his wife and their families. There are one or two couples in the same circle who are invited but who's husband isn't a GM. I feel like if we send the invite to the GM we have to send invites out to everyone in the circle or the month between could make it seem like we have a B list which is not at all the case.
Also, best man's wife who we are close with works with FI's parents so if she says she got an invite idk if FMIL will be all up in arms that we are waiting to send to FI's extended family (partly because it is so early, partly because it is a ploy in hopes all 50 of them can't make it if we wait). Maybe it won't be a problem but a possibility.
Should I just tell FI to suck it up and keep reminding them via text? Or send them since the GM are VIPs and just give FMIL a heads up of why we sent them and send to the rest of the circle too?
