So far my wedding planning has gone very well, except who I am going to invite to stay in the rental house. This might take awhile to explain. My fiance and I are renting a 7 bedroom event home to host the wedding and reception. It rents Monday to Monday. My fiance and I are paying for part of it, and then his parents are giving us money for it, and my parents are giving us money towards it. So naturally that takes up 3 bedrooms right there. He has a brother , sister-in-law and nephew, so we figured they would take a 4th room. I have a brother, his girlfriend, and my nephew, they they would take up the 5th room.
I have 2 extra bedrooms. I figured I would use them for the rest of our wedding party. My best friend (matron/maid of honor) are coming down for the entire week, so I figure they would take a 6th room. My other bride's maid can't come till midweek, but I figured she could take the 7th room or sleep on the couch. Owen's brother is in his party, so they have a room already. His best man is in school, so he can't come down till friday and will probably leave on Sunday. We figured the BM and his g/f could either take a couch, or use the 7th bedroom.
I talked to my mom today, and she told me that she had asked my grandparents to get there own place for the week. Well my mom thinks my granny is upset that we aren't getting married in town. My grandpa is excited about going to the outer banks, but granny, not so much. Granny is worried about the drive down there (it is a 7 hour drive from charlotte), and her feelings are hurt that we didn't invite them to stay in the house with us. On top of that, my dead-beat uncle lives in their house with them, so naturally if he comes to the wedding, he will have to stay with them, and I don't want him in the rental house with me for a week, b/c he will drive me crazy!!!
So what should I do? Should I invite my grandparents to stay with me or should I invite the rest of my wedding party to stay with me?
