    Thanks girls. She actually lives with us so its a little harder than that, although i will be standing my ground. I thought about the different dresses with the same materials and DF doesnt want that he thinks it will look 'tacky'... although i loved it. So did my bridesmaids. Oh well.
    Im just going to put my foot down and tell her, she can either walk or get over it. I wouldnt be crying if she didnt put me in her bridal party...

    oh i so feel for you, my FSIL did the same for me in my wedding, i only hd her in our wedding cause she caused such a scene for my brother when we didnt ask her to be our DS godmother. At this point i think i had meet her twice ah derr, but she carried on about it. I had her in my wedding party and she was a pain in the but, whinged about everything. I chose to ignore her complaints and would just keep doing what i wanted while she sooked about it.

    well, what does she absolutely NOT want? ie shoes, colour dress etc? Id be going with that! "Oh my dear, you dont like the 80's puffy style watermelon tizzy dress the girls are having? Oh, well dems da breaks!"

    N maybe she will quit of her own accord?

    LOl, sorry, not much help, im just feeling terribly vindictive myself ATM. Best of luck to ou hun, i am learning that in most cases in laws just... well..... suck

    Are you paying for the dresses? Cause if you are I say absolutely you can tell her what to wear. But if she is paying, that might be different BUT that said she has guilt-tripped her way in to the bridal party so it probably evens itself out.

    We are putting $100 towards the dresses, so we will be paying for most of it.
