  What I am doing is having my seven bridesmaids and I stay with me in the suite at the hotel where are reception is at the night before.  My mom will be staying in a room, and my FMIL is also staying in a room.  They will both be getting their hair done with us, and will be getting ready with us.  I am super close to my mom (probably my best friend!)  but I thought it was really important to include my FMIL.
  
  I think it is really up to you!  I also would talk to your fiance about what he thinks and his important to him also.

  I would include her. my FMIL is doing a portion of our wedding photography before the ceremony starts so she will be with us all morning anyways. And the first part of us getting ready will be held at my house with small breakfast snacks and champagne, so my mom will be with is also. I would feel bad not including my FMIL if she wants to be there.

  I'm probably going to include my FMIL ... I think she would really enjoy being able to be there in the moments while getting ready and before walking down the aisle. She came with my mom and my sister when I tried on wedding dresses, so I feel it's only right for her to be there.

  I plan on having my bridesmaids and aunt helping me get ready. My FMIL will not be party of the happenings of us getting ready. I don't care for her at all and she would just add to the headaches and pressure of the day, so she won't be invited.

  I never really thought about including her before, but I think she'd rather be with FI.  I will probably be with bridal party, parents, and grandparents.

  you can ask, but i'd assume she'd want to be with her son and make sure he and the boys are set and ready and pinned their bouts on correctly, etc.
  
  she'd probably meet you at the back of the church for a few minutes before the ceremony.

  Im not including FMIL. She wants to be with her son, and I personally don't think its right for her to see the bride before anyone else. Thats special for my parents and my BMs. Lovely thought though. I'm sure she will be honoured.

  I'm inviting my FMIL to come get her hair and makeup done. The entire bridal party, including her daughter, and my mom are getting theirs done and I don't want her to feel left out of that fun girl time. If she wants to be with FI during that time instead she is not obligated to come but I would rather let the decision be hers.

  I wasn't going to ask my FMIL, but I wasn't going to ask my mother either.  Honestly would rather have FMIL than my own mother, as my mom would just make everything so stressful
