originally i had the list of all the women that were invited to the wedding only because i didn't want to offend anyone...the list was over well 60 people, and everyone involved said it should just be my close friends and family, with his mom & sister (i had his grandmother too but she will try to come (she lives about 2 hours away) and will buy a gift (she's broke) so he thought it would be best to take her off the list so she wouldn't feel obligated (and she probably won't even notice)
so with only my family, the bridal party, and a few close friends it's about 30 people (still a lot for the few people that are paying for it to handle) i kept telling them to keep it simple and cheap but they are probably doing a bit more than that (my mom is involved & tends to go overboard)
so anyway, while cutting down the list i was freaking out that people on his side would be offended but i looked up the etiquette and he was right - i looked at 4 or 5 sites that said just my side...
so a few minutes ago my fiance got a call from his mom - she lives 9 hours away but got an invite to the shower 'cause she's important even though we know she can't come...i couldn't hear what she was saying but i could tell pretty quickly that someone on their side was upset about not being invited...so now i'm all upset...
turns out the people that were upset saw the invite on her table - meaning they are 9 hours away and couldn't make it either - they were some of the first cut and i didn't even feel that bad about them - i've only met one once and the other twice & again they're in TN we're in NY, it's not a day trip...
so would you have been offended if you were them?
should i have made them invite all of these people i'm not close with and/or barely know?
what would you do in my shoes?
he did tell his mom that these people were being silly, unfortunately his mom & sister won't budge on the idea that all the women are supposed to be invited...odd 'cause his mom is usually a very level headed woman...
i have taken a size 6-7 for quite a few years, now i noticed my shoes are so tight, so i measured them, i now need an 8+. is this normal, and why is it happening?

I'm getting married tommorow, and was planning to wear my grandmother's string of ivory pearls with my wedding dress. My mother-in-law gave me a beautiful sterling silver cross and said that she would be honored if I would wear it. My mother was a bit hurt when I told her of the gift, and said that she thought the pearls alone would be best. The pearls do go with my dress better. I am thinking of trying to wear them together, but they don't look all that great together. One option I was also considering was wearing the cross as an anklet, as it does look very nice alongside my shoes.
I'm not sure exactly how to handle this without hurting either one of them, and lately, my mother says she has felt sort of like my fiance's mother is trying to take care of everything that she had been wanting to help with.
You're correct. She had two boys, and no girls.
