[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 192807, member: 1991"] MB, you said, "So, did you remind her that YOU don't send out the invites, the bride and groom do? Not your problem. Not your responsibility." Actually, the responsibility is even further away than that, traditionally. It's up to the bride's parents, traditionally. Although these days it's the bride and groom who have most say in who gets to come to the wedding. We're currently sending out invitations to difficult child 1's & girlfriend's wedding, and because both families are big, we're not getting to ask everyone we'd like to. We are restricted considerably by numbers. My nephew's second wedding was very small (his first one was an extravaganza). We weren't even told about it until afterwards. The only guests were both sets of parents, and siblings. Possibly even fewer than that. It really is not YOUR problems at all, it was stupid, childish, petulant and pointless for her to dump it all on you. As if you could even have a say in it! I mean, could you have said to GGG, "For pete's sake, don't invite your grandmother, I don't like her," and have him say, "Sure, I WAS going to invite her but I will do whatever you say." Not likely. Grrr. Stupid woman... she sounds as thick as a brick. Marg [/QUOTE]
