mortgage_gurl said:

“Don’t forget, if I got invited to an extended family member’s wedding that I’d met three times, I’d see it as a gift grab, it’s rude.”

NomNom83WasTaken commented:

“You and your fiancé should only invite the people you want to invite.”

PoisonPlushi remarked:

“Letting someone invite 20 guests to someone else's wedding is a massive concession. Tell your mother that due to her attitude, she gets zero extra invites, and the next complaint gets her uninvited.”
