Hi everyone! We're having an engagement party this summer and my FI's mom is paying/planning for it. However, she wants to invite people to the engagement party that are not invited to the wedding. I told her that it's bad etiquette, but she insists its okay. I think the main point of the party is to introduce me to friends of his family that I have not met yet. I would invite them to the wedding, but we are capping our guest list at 100 mostly for financial reasons. I suggested to perhaps call it something different, not an "engagement party", but then I feel weird about asking my family and friends to drive 2 hours to his hometown for just a get together. In addition, I already went through planning it on a date that my MOH is free this summer. She works on the weekends ALOT in the summer, so I would feel bad blocking one of her only free weekends for a while longer until we get this sorted out. Any thoughts/solutions to this problem?
