Mother worries about communion exclusion
Because she is the child's godmother, this is an issue you should take to clergy. You and your husband should ask for a meeting and attend together.
In my view, you should invite her, and the couple should work out between themselves who will attend.
You and your former sister-in-law should work hard to maintain your friendship and relationship, regardless of what happens with this event.
Dear Amy: My niece recently got engaged.
I sent a card congratulating her and offered to host a bridal tea for her. She accepted my offer of hosting a shower. Soon after, I was informed, by her mother, that they are getting married ASAP with only his parents, her parents and siblings in attendance.
They want to spend funds that would be spent on a wedding on other things. Now, she and her mother seem to think they get to make all the decisions about the shower, and I am to show up with checkbook in hand to pay for the event.
I have been cussed, screamed at and hung up on.
Is it too late to call this off without causing a big (or should I say bigger) row in the family?
I was under the impression that the hostess organized the shower and the bride-to-be furnished the guest list. Am I that much of an old fogey? Have things changed that much?
