    Hi all, I've just got off the phone to my Grandma on my Dad's side of the family. A very difficult to please person...

    Anyway, she received her wedding invite yesterday, :) however it's more like :( cos apparently 'It should have been sent by my parents inviting people to the wedding of their daughter'... and 'how do I reply to it' (send back the RSVP page) and yes 'it's very obvious that they are home made (not in a good way)'.

    Why can't she be happy for me... everything about the wedding just gets criticised and now she's saying she might not be able to come as she lives in Bath and I'm in west Yorkshire. Even though my dad's partner lives in Bath and is also coming to the wedding - share transport maybe? I had to bite my tongue so I didn't say well don't come then because I'm just about PAST CARING!!!! Grrrrr.

    Sorry for the rant! :)

    That so sounds like my dads mum. Which is why she doesnt even know we are getting married.I think if she is making this much fuss over the wedding then she dont deserve to go. If there is transport to get her to you then she should make the effort to come and keep quite

    I know this sounds mean but I think I'd prefer it if she didn't come! But she has her invite now... ooppss. And I couldn't bear to imagine the grief if I 'forgot' to invite her!

    I agree with the other girls - it is however very hurtful and it's hard to understand why someone you have always looked up to and loved can be so mean - but there is nothing to understand because they are not getting their own way and see themselves as the most important person they dont see the bigger picture.

    Maybe ask your Dad to have a word in her ear and say you felt let down by her but you would never say this to her as you dont want to hurt her. Also get him to say that his partner his kindly offered to drive her to the venue etc and back again?

    Your invites are lovely - very personal - and so what if you made them, it makes them even more personal! Ignore your grandma, which I know is easier said! But old people are just like that sometimes - my mum's mum is exactly the same! I agree with raekim, ask your dad to have a quiet word about how she upset you - my aunt did that for me once when my nan upset me, and it worked wonders - she's been brilliant ever since lol

    dont worry about her nitpicking at things.... its your wedding to be done your way. If she doesnt come then so be it... she will be the one to miss out and have nothing to reply back to when all of your family are talking about how amazing your special day was. In terms of the invites, ettiquite dictates that if the bride and groom pay then the bride and groom send them out and if mum pays then mum sends them but it is up to you.

    If it makes you feel better I think we all have ppl second guessing our decisions but we are all different and if you listen to everyone and try to make them all happy you would never make progress and keep going around in circles.

    Sounds like she has too much time on her hands and doesn't have anything better to do. Did she offer to pay for everything? If not she can keep her neb out!
