And more recently, they have also been bugging her to invite her stepfather’s family– which she is seriously opposed to. After all, she and her fiancé are footing the bill for the entire wedding– and they already decided who they did and did not want to invite to the ceremony.
Plus, she feels like she barely even knows her stepfather’s side of the family and does not want to spend extra money on people whose attendance she would not miss.
But, after she tried explaining this to her mother, stepfather, and step-siblings, they did not have it. Instead, they argued that they would be more comfortable if some of their family were present at the wedding. Still, though, she would not concede and rather told them what it would take to add her stepfamily to the guest list.
“After a lot of pressure, I said that they could not dictate our guest list unless they want to pay for the wedding,” she explained.
This did not go over well with her mother and stepfather, though, who claimed she had no right to “demand” they pay.
They also called her rude and entitled and even accused her of using her wedding as a weapon to hurt the family even more. So now, she is completely at a loss about what to do. She does not want to invite people she genuinely does not care about to the wedding, but she also does not want to be a jerk to her own nuclear family.
If you were in her shoes, how would you mediate this situation? Do you think wedding guest lists should always just be up to the partners getting married?
