How to Avoid a Mother in Law Freak Out

[DanielleNDerek]

looks like you found a resolution. so what idea did fi tell his mom the other day? i know you had a couple of ideas.

He told her that we'd be having two different receptions following the ceremony. That it would pretty much only be parents, us, and the wedding party and the other reception would be the informal one that we'd drop by to say hello.

 

She has now written me an email telling me that she told her sisters that we'd rather they save their money to go to the AHR's when we get back to the states. We'll have one in MN where i'm from and one in NE where FI is from. She told her sisters to come to the MN one too so that they can meet my family. she is also going to suggest that to the members of her husband's family. She said that she hopes I will have the day that i've always dreamed of. I think she is trying really hard to help and make this day perfect. She has volunteered to alter my dress because she has actually made a couple of wedding dresses in the past. So all is well in Future family in law land

I also agree that you should perhaps invite at the least her twin (twins have a very close connection, that us non-twins cannot understand), but probably the other aunts and uncles as well. Chances are, some of them won't come.
