    We were going to take our enagagement photos today in NYC and there was a threat of rain.. so we rescheduled, my idea.. now I look at weather channel .. and rain isn't supposed to start till after 6pm in NYC today.. now bright and sunny! ARGGHH so bummed now!! I couldn't wait!!!

     

    on another note, I got an IM from my FMIL. She made a list of invitees for the wedding now just in case we forgot anyone. Mind you, FI and I already made out our guest list and are determined not to have more than 100 people. My family is fairly large and we are close. I talk to all my cousins and aunts and uncles fairly often. SO they are on the list. FI doesn;t have a huge famil but FMIL has alot of extended cousins that she never sees but they are on her list. FI and I have spoken and we are good with our guest list. Our list includes his 2 cousins and a few aunts and uncles and some of his parents close friends. He is fine with not invited his mom's extended family (he never speaks to them!) I don't want to offend her but we don't want more than 100 people. We are at 110 people right now and we expect that 12 people will not come.

     

    I guess she'll just have to understand.. oh well.

    Just wanted to vent

    Explain your situation and ask her if you send these additional people wedding announcements once the wedding is over.  I did that with my MIL.

    If it helps you feel better, I'm looking out my Manhattan window, and it's not raining but it's definitely overcast... no good light for photos. I think you made the right call.

    Thank you worcesterbride!! I feel a somewhat better! Lana Jade, you'll have a new date asap!:0( .. bummed.. no photos today and FMIL has a list now!!! :  wedding enagagment photos venting guest list Icon Biggrin

    Chela, I explained that our budget really only allows for 100 guests. I did tell her I had a B List and that if there was anyone she really wanted to invite then I can add them to the B list and as we get a few regrets we can send them an invite. Hopefully she is ok with that.
