    So like many my inlaws are paying for our rehersal dinner but I want to draw small little invites up for everyone going. I love to draw and I wanted something personal to represent the dinner. Would this be rude since we aren't paying for it???

    Invites should be sent out to let the involved folks know what is going on and when. However, since you are not hosting it, the invites are not something you have a part in since they come from the in-laws.

    I agree with ember in that you're not hosting, so you should not send invites. However, you could take the opportunity to express to your FILS how thankful you are that they're doing this and offer to draw up the invites for them to send out. You can tell them that being creative will help distract you from all the planning stress and that you'd love to contribute the invites since they're doing such a nice thing by hosting the rehearsal dinner.

    My in-laws were glad to get our suggestions for the rehearsal invite, which my sister and I came up with a cute idea for.  Just run it by them, I'm sure they'll be thrilled

    I'd say don't even ask them, but that's me. It's their deal; let them send the invitations that they choose.

    My in laws are/were (my father in law passed away about a week and a half ago so I guess its just my FMIL) hosting the rehearsal dinner and my mother in law gave us free reign to plan the dinner and also pick out the invitations. The invitations are going out in her name, of course. You can definitely send invites - but if your in laws are super into planning, just ask them if theyre cool with you picking them out and sending them in their name.

    @emersynsmommy35:  That's so cool!!

     

     

    @MissDiamond: if @emersynsmommy35: thinks her mom would appreciate it I say go for it!  (As long as it is still clear that your FILs are the ones doing the inviting/hosting)

    My parents are very easy going. As long as they are respected and at least included they wouldnt care about those kinds of details... :)

    I so need to get on here more. Thanks Kay for the advice. When I went over tonight she wasn't feeling the best so I didn't ask. I just don't want to think that it is something that she might have wanted to do and I am taking it over. I so don't want to be bridezilla.
