bride vs mother in law
So I'm just beginning to plan my wedding. I have no idea how many guests were having but I'm thinking the number will probably be 200 (the venue we're going with also only allows 200) with all of our close family and friends. I know the issue will come up and I just want to know how to go about it. My fiancés mom has LOTS of people (people that my fiancé or myself have either no clue who they are or don't talk to at all) that she is going to want to invite like all of her work friends, distant friends, etc. now I don't mind if they come if we don't even hit that mark of 200 however, if it goes over by a decent amount do I still have these people she wants to invite be on the list or not? Just want advice I'm not trying to be mean but I just know she likes to take charge of EVERYTHING and I just need to know if this is an instance I should put my foot down or not.
When my baby was born a few months ago (her first grandchild) she had EVERYONE bombard my house until all of her friends got to see her she even tried to make me go to her work so her delivery person could see her just at 2 weeks old. I don't mean to be rude but I really could care less if the lady that delivers to her work met my daughter or not and I'm sure she feels the same way but there she was upset that I told her no. When she had a baby she told me she didnt even get out of bed for 6 months she let her husband do everything for her but she can be upset because I told her at two weeks old I didn't feel comfortable letting her 110th friend come meet my baby. I'd also like to add I had to go back to work 2 1/2 weeks after she was born so I didn't even get any real time to bond with her as I should have with all of the people she had in and out of my house. Now she doesn't want anything to do with my daughter because she balls her eyes out every time she's given to her or anytime she wants to hold her. She's also one of those ladies where she has to be the center of attention of EVERYTHING. And with this being our wedding I'd rather have more of the focus on us than her. I love her I do, but sometimes she's just a little too much to handle. Sorry for the rant I just had to get that out 🙃
UPDATE: thank you guys so much for replying you have all helped out tremendously! I am now prepared with how to deal with the situation wish me luck ladies😂
