Was the bride upset when she said she wasn't invited? </p> <p>I just can't imagine. I mean, I can picture having a "groom's side" or "bride's side" family get together *after* at a bar or something. (My family did that but I didn't go - beauty sleep!) But no one was excluded!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/and-i-thought-my-mil-was-bad#post-209095 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 15:46:39 +0000 Jumpingjacks 209095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe the MIL is under the impression/assumption that the bride and groom do not spend the evening together the night before the wedding. Is it just the groom's people who are invited to this event? The groom should really have a conversation with his mom about this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/and-i-thought-my-mil-was-bad#post-209082 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 15:32:35 +0000 Adira 209082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I were the bride, I would be PEEVED if my husband went to something like this without me! Even if his mother was the one throwing it! That is a TERRIBLE message to be sending!!! He needs to put his foot down and say "I'm not going to ANY events my fiancee and soon-to-be wife aren't invited to!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/and-i-thought-my-mil-was-bad#post-209070 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 15:23:02 +0000 Rescuemom10 209070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uhh thats still horrible. She may be paying for it but what message is that sending if she doesnt invite the BRIDE which is her soon to be Daughter in law. I can NOT believe the groom can justify this?</p> <p>Like you said, if it were me in this situation, DH would not be going either. So sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/and-i-thought-my-mil-was-bad#post-208742 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 11:41:59 +0000 oliviaoblivia 208742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This whole thing is just crazy. DH talked to his friend this morning and the friend thinks that because his mom is throwing it that she can invite whomever she wants.<br /> You can bet that if I were in this situation DH wouldn't be going either.<br /> I feel bad going knowing how shady the MIL is being to the bride. I don't want to have dinner with a woman who is so awful to her DIL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/and-i-thought-my-mil-was-bad#post-208720 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 11:29:37 +0000 banana 208720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HUH??

Poor bride! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/and-i-thought-my-mil-was-bad#post-208668 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 11:02:45 +0000 LuLu Mom 208668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ummm...if that were me I would tell my DH that is not acceptable and it's either we go as a pair or not at all! What an evil woman! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/and-i-thought-my-mil-was-bad#post-208524 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 09:59:21 +0000 Adira 208524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's messed up. Even if it wasn't a rehearsal dinner - why would you ever have a dinner where you DIDN'T invite the significant other??? That's just wrong! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/and-i-thought-my-mil-was-bad#post-208503 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 09:50:05 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 208503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's HORRIBLE! Are you serious? Who does that? Does the MIL have a major problem with the bride?<br /> That makes me sick even thinking about it. If I were her, I'd throw a wicked fit, because that's just not fair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/and-i-thought-my-mil-was-bad#post-208502 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 09:50:01 +0000 Mrsbells 208502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>wow... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/and-i-thought-my-mil-was-bad#post-208497 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 09:48:37 +0000 Alivoo01 208497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What in the world?! I've never heard of such a thing! I'm also baffled the groom is allowing this to happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/and-i-thought-my-mil-was-bad#post-208484 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 09:39:41 +0000 mrs. bird 208484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! That is insane! Has anyone mentioned it to the mother? Is she just an idiot or is she out right refusing to allow this poor girl to go?? </p> <p>My ILs hosted a party the day of our wedding that we weren't invited to and then showed up to our wedding 2 hours after they were supposed to be there. In laws are awesome!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/and-i-thought-my-mil-was-bad#post-208467 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 09:27:10 +0000 DillonLion 208467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>WHAT?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/and-i-thought-my-mil-was-bad#post-208460 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 09:24:25 +0000 oliviaoblivia 208460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: There were proper invitations and it's being held at a fairly expensive restaurant. I checked the restaurant's website and it looks like it'll be about $60 a person.<br /> I know the wedding is really laid back, backyard, DIY, BBQ kind of event. This is crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/and-i-thought-my-mil-was-bad#post-208454 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 09:20:25 +0000 rachiecakes 208454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's weird that there were invitations involved, were they actually mailed invitations? </p> <p>We didn't have a rehearsal dinner per se. My DH, FI at the time, had gone out to a hockey game with his best friend (we didn't have MOH/Best man), so I had a dinner with my family and bridesmaids and we went over the ceremony. There was nothing formal about it but it was a dinner the night before where we rehearsed what was going down the next day without DH/FI.<br /> Maybe it's like that? Not so formal? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/and-i-thought-my-mil-was-bad#post-208447 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 09:12:11 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 208447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What? That's crazy!!! That poor girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/and-i-thought-my-mil-was-bad#post-208445 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 09:11:47 +0000 mrsjyw 208445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>W T F....CRAZY MIL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/and-i-thought-my-mil-was-bad#post-208443 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 09:11:06 +0000 oliviaoblivia 208443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I told DH to tell his friend to intervene, that it's totally inappropriate. They are going out together in a few minutes, hopefully he says something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/and-i-thought-my-mil-was-bad#post-208438 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 09:08:59 +0000 autumnlove 208438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh jeez!!

Either the groom completely forgot to tell her or the MIL is crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/and-i-thought-my-mil-was-bad#post-208436 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 09:08:52 +0000 MamaMoose 208436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: UMMMMM.... WHAT? What I can't believe is that the groom actually let this happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/and-i-thought-my-mil-was-bad#post-208434 Mon, 02 Jul 2012 09:06:55 +0000 oliviaoblivia 208434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH's best man is getting married in a few weeks and we've received an invitation to a dinner the night before the wedding. We mentioned this dinner while out together the other day, I mistakenly called it a rehearsal dinner, and the fiancee she said she wasn't invited. Apparently his mom thinks the rehearsal dinner is a party just for the groom. AND THE BRIDE ISN'T INVITED.</p> <p>Has anyone else heard of this? I'm scandalized. </p>
