Oh girls - what a nightmare. just go with the flow as best you can. And remember it's your day, don't let anyone ruin it. If they show unannounced then they'll have to organise their own food and things. It's not your fault if they don't tell you these things!

Geez, this is annoying. I am sorry you are experiencing this.

 

To be fair, I don't think a lot of people understand how weddings work. I certainly didn't before starting to plan mine. No one really understands that weddings are not like house parties and you can't just decide to show up oh a whim. I would seriously let people know that if they don't tell you their intentions within the next couple of days you are not counting them. As for your sister in law, she messed up and so she will have to bear the brunt of it and pay the extra. If you are feeling charitable, you can offer to loan her the money and she pay you back. I wouldn't pay the whole thing because this is a result of her slacking off on booking.
