ohhh 2 new ones:

• MIL2B is prob going to pull her face that SIL2B isnt going to be a BM OH warned me of this last time as my sister is being one so she will prob moan-even though we havent seen her in 4 yrs and when she last came to our house when we had ds she ignored us and went shopping (there from elsewhere so was first time to see ds and couldnt make the effort)
• that shes going to expect her bf to be invited even though we have never met him i can see it kicking off and OH will say oh invite him then!!:mad: but i dont see why we argued about this other week as i mentioned it and he said well why cant he come -erm we have never met him i dont want strangers at our wedding!
• ohh also they will prob expect to stay at our house which ive said a huge no no too as i dont like people to stay here without me

...Maybe I could ask her to get photos of all the major London landmarks with a newspaper with the wedding date on it in the photo. That would keep her running around London for a while!

That sounds like a really good idea, it will keep her occupied and give you a memento!

Im not taking sides - but i asked my friends and family to invite partners to the Reception - it is a perfect chance to meet & get to know you family & friends loved ones. Are you disagreeing out of principal due to cost of meal? or simply not want them there? I do understand your point of view to an extent, especially if its a cost issue for a meal. But some people get very offended if you refuse to invite their partners - its like theyre not good enough. Yes its your day, but its not going to be pleasant for you to alienate your guests.

we havent seen/heard off SIL2b for approx 2 1/2 yrs now she doesnt even acknowledge our kids anymroe and its peed me off but more OH tbh as they used to be quite close but when his dad kicked him out they drifted apart. we have never met her oh-he came to our house when we had ds but was only to meet SIL2b he didnt even have the courtesy to speak to us-in our home!! this really anoyed us. the cost doesnt bother me its the fact we have never met him, she doesnt even want to know us (so may not even come to the wedding) so why should we pay for smeone we dont know to come? we have said he can come to the reception but not the sit down meal but this will prob be not good enough
oh just realised to did say reception by this did u mean night time? also my friends who are coming are bringing partners/fiances as we know them but if my single friends (1 lol) gets a new partner she wouldnt expect me to invite him to the meal if we hadnt met him before

You're winning by lots atm! Just gone to fb to look at the page again and OH was logged in so I've liked you from him and just going to revive my acc now x

I didn't think I was too BZ until I realised I don't want anyone else organising my hen do as I'd already plannned it before consulting anyone and I don't want my mum to come dressed as the theme, it's my theme! mine mine mine!!!!!!!!
And I don't want OH going on a boys holiday unless he saves for it, if we're p!ssing away 100's I'd like to p!ss it away on fireworks.
I've shrunk the guest list so there won't be any arguments or sniping and just waiting for the fall out on it but no one is paying anything towards the wedding so I'm inviting who I want there *stamps foot*
Oh and I've only had 1 BM as the only other people I could think of weren't pretty enough to stand next to me and I didn't want my photos ruining.
I've also picked my photographer on how pretty people look, there were loads of sites were ugly people looked ugly and a few where decent lighting and effects made them look photogenic.
Like I said not too BZ yet

I just want to say thanks to everyone for not making me feel like I'm taking things out of proportion. I get so worried that I'll be seen as a !!!!! but MIL2B and SIL2B are not communicating with me and are taking it upon themselves to sort out stuff without my consent!

Just ignore what they are doing and do your own thing, then if they say they have sorted it ask why. This is the only time that you will get to do this and it is stressful but it's lots of fun too and they shouldn't take it away from you, maybe stop talking about it with them and only get in touch when it is things that they need to be involved in? Or swap SIL2b dress for a smaller one just before the wedding then call her fat :rotfl:
