Help! Need Advise. Family Drama.

Lauren, on December 5, 2023 at 7:41 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 4
Help!! So I’m not going to explain the whole back story but here’s what’s going on. My fiancé and I sent out our wedding invites and invites to my bridal shower. My bridal shower is in February. My fiancé’s aunt (groom’s dad’s sister) have some sort of issue where his dad literally hates his sister and I never really knew why. My fiancé’s mom always says that his dad treated her like crap and she wishes they would be civil and that she was happy we are including them. My bridal shower is at my fiancé’s parents house and I invited his aunt. His mom seemed happy about it but his dad called my fiancé in rage basically saying that she’s not allowed at his house after I already sent the invite. He basically said I’m overstepping and I should basically stick my nose out of it. Weve been together for almost 9 years so I’m wondering if anyone has dealt with a situation like this or can offer some advise on what I should do.

    I would move the shower to a different location and keep the guest list as is.

    I agree with Cece. Moving the bridal shower to somewhere else (and keeping the guest list the same) would be a good solution.

    Are you and FI hosting or did you only help with the addresses? It's inappropriate to host a gift giving event in your own honor, so if that's the case moving it somewhere else is not the right answer. If it was your future in laws are hosting then they have discretion over the guest list, certainly in their own home. In that case, either accept the fact that FI's aunt is not invited or cancel altogether unless someone else offers to host.

    Find a new venue or uninvite the aunt. Those are really the two options short of cancelling the shower all together. And this isn't an issue for you to involve yourself in, other than which decision you want to make.


    It's their house, so it's their rules. Unless your finance's mom can convince him to allow his sister to attend, you may be out of luck, but again, that's not something you need to be involved in. All your fiancé can do, is talk to their parents, voice their wishes and accept the result.

    Some relationships aren't as black and white as just be civil.
