Alright I know some of you don't agree with a gender reveal party but it was something I and my fiancé thought would be cute to bring our families together. Cute right?
Okay here's the problem. My fiancé and I have been together 3 years but my mother and father have lived in a different country the past 4 years so only some of our family have met. But the biggest problem is our mothers have yet to met. So anyways I thought this would be a cute ice breaker.
Alright getting to the point... My fiancé is arabic, he has ALOT of family. So I planned on the party being held at my parents house. Guest list SMALL- our grand parents, his parents and his aunt that lives with his grand parents. And my aunt and uncle. Well... It's like we're getting married and his mom wants to invite everyone. She says some other uncle and aunt need to come also her sister uncle and THIER kids. And and because it's two days after thanks giving his cousins will be in town, with thier husbands and children.
It's spiraling out of control and I'm about to call the whole thing off. It just sucks iv had my heart set on this. And I'm the most impatient person ever I just wanna know the sex already.
I give up... One I can't put a 30 person guest list of just his side on my mother.
And two.. I just ... That's its I give u

First off, make your fiance deal with his mom and his side of the family. That can be touchy. Have him remind her that this is not your wedding and all of his family can come to that, assuming you're not having a small wedding. Tell her that this is a SMALL affair and that the list needs to be kept to a minimum and stand firm on that. The same thing almost happened for my wedding shower because my husband's mom tried to invite some of her friends, people I didn't know from Adam, and I had him talk to her about how there was limited space at my parent's house and this was not our wedding. It's easy for people to get excited and think that everyone and their mom can come, but seeing as this is YOUR affair, your future in-laws should have no say in who you should invite.
Lol that's cute.
