So FI brought up again sending the invites now to his GM and other people he really wants there. Over half of "his side" is his extended family that we are inviting only to appease his mother (he has a huge extended family) and he doesn't care if they show up or not. He said he's afraid people will make other plans if they don't have the invitation. I was wary and you all advised against sending invites at different times yesterday. But, I feel like him bringing it up everyday is him fearing that the few people he does want there won't come. I only talk to one of the GM's wives/girlfriends (and that GM is on point, go figure). The rest I'm not close with so aren't the constant reminders to their man that he is in a wedding on Sept 29.
I even said we should warn FMIL so she doesn't get fussy about why the family isn't getting invites yet. He shrugged and said all he cares about (from his side) are the people he wants there and is sick of people trying to control our wedding. I feel like for him to be worried about this it is a real concern of his and I should just give in to it. I think it is interesting how this wedding brings out a lot of vulnerability in my FI. Anyone else experiencing these kind of sensitivities with their FI?
