@sassypants: very werid.. Isn't that the whole point of having the engagement party getting both families together?... :/
So strange!! That's the point of an engagement party, for the two sides of the family to meet, mingle, and congratulate one another.
Okay, that's what I thought... future BIL/SIL are hosting for us- we've never really been close been maybe this is them trying but everyone I've mentioned this to thinks it's bizarre, so I'm not sure what their intentions are. I havent mentioned to my fam because I dont want them to be upset. Anyways, I don't know if I should mentioned something to future fam that I am hurt by it or just let it go...?
@sassypants: FI should give contact information for your side of the family that you wish to invite. That way theres pointing fingers just a "hey, heres Mary Sue's list of family that should be added to the guest list." Thats what I would have FI do...
I would definitely ask FI to bring it up to his family. Is it possible there is a miscommunication and they didn't realize your family would want to attend?
It's next weekend so it's too late to ask my fam, no miscommunication issues- I just dont think they thought to include them! I feel like this is going to bug me for a while, maybe I will have him ask why they werent invited. I asked if I could invite 2 of my close friends hoping it would prompt them to ask for my fam's contact info but they didnt.
I cant help but feel uncomfortable about it.
That is quite strange. My FI's father has passed away and his mother is not very involved, but his cousin wants to give us a "engagement party" (really just a causal get together). But she asked me for a guest list.
What was the response when you asked if your two friends could come?
Oh, see I would've taken that and run with it. At least your parents should be there for sure! I would call and just ask her if we can add them. I doubt that they would shoot you down.

FI's family is hosting an engagement party for us but my friends or family weren't invited... is this weird or is it normal for each side to host their own party? I just thought this was all about families joining but I've never had one or even been to one... input please!
