Hey all!
My FMIL and FFIL graciously offered to host our rehearsal dinner. The small town we are getting married in is notorious for weddings and venues have to be booked far in advance.
Since FMIL is far away from the wedding location, I found a few places that might work and sent her the info. She really appreciated that and booked/paid the deposit for the one I thought would work best.
FI, my mom and I had a few vendor meetings and took the 6 hour drive to wedding location. While we were there, we ate dinner at the rehearsal dinner place. It wasn't awful, there were some items that were really good, but overall no one would jump online to provide rave reviews. I have a big sweet tooth and there was only one dessert option, bread pudding. I LOVE bread pudding...but this just wasn't fabulous, which was disappointing.
Having said this, I still think this location is just fine and I would never dream of asking her to have it elsewhere, especially since she already paid the deposit. My question is, is it ok to ask FMIL if she can order a few pies from a local bakery for dessert? FI and I both love pie and this bakery has our favorite flavors, rhubarb and peanut butter. Two separate flavors...not rhubarb peanut butter. Lol. This way more people would be happy with dessert and may overlook the meal as a whole?
I just hate thinking of asking her to pay more money than necessary. There will be about 40 there. How many pies would we need? 6? 8? Would it be ok of me to bring the pies if it is inappropriate for me to ask this of FMIL? She really is wonderful and I feel like I hit the FMIL jackpot. I know she would do this for me, I just think it might be inappropriate?
