Uninvited Write In Guests

What should happen when grooms father does not invite his siblings children on the guest list and when they respond they tell you that their children are coming. Only the bride`s family is contributing. Because of this, the grooms father states he is insulted and will not attend!

Are you saying the groom`s father neglected to add his nieces and nephews to the guest list, and is now insulted that they were not invited? He needs to read an etiquette book; his local library must have some.

If the count is already set with the reception caterer, father can pay the extra to include these people. If he doesn`t , you can tell the nieces and nephews you are so sorry , but you have a strict, small list and it is too late to change it (if it is too late).

Good luck. I don`t envy you having a twit for a father-in-law.
