Hi All,

I am visiting here after a long time..mainly new work kept me busy..I just had a week off. I wanted an opinion though on a rather delicate matter. I do not get along well with BIL and his wife, everything aside when they come to any party they really over over dress and some people end up thinking of them as host, it has happened not only at my parties but mostly at everyone's that they go to, now for that we can ignore them but they are so crazy that whoever is taking pictures, professional or friend they just ask them to take their pics in many many poses, last time I hired a pro and warned him not to take too many of their pics and told him that he will be asked, he agreed he will ignore/avoid but when the time came they said to him that they are close family and host and persuaded him to take their pics and I ended up having more than half of their pics only. Now I am looking forward to have another party and for many upsetting reason do not want to invite them. I have had a word with MIL about this and she says she knows and they also know about this and not only me but many other friends have said that to them but they just make fun of it and say that others are jealous etc. I really do not want to invite them but I know DH will. Is there a way to specially un-invite them and not make anyone feel bad about it?

Thanks,
Venus

That sounds incredibly frustrating! I personally just wouldnt invite them if their behavior bothers you that much. Its so hard when its family ((hugs))

Welcome back!

I agree with Bree, I would just not send them an invitation.

so .... when's the party??? lol... that has to be a pain, if they are going to try to be the center of attention I wouldnt invite them either.

I do not ever invite them they get involved in preparations themselves and also invite their own friends to keep them company at party then its only them you will see in pictures..DH don't see anything wrong with it he thinks they are just having fun, which I am sure they are but I don't like them at my party. But they are always there.

I would just not invite them. Feelings might get hurt, but they should be more respectful. That's horribly rude of them to be inviting other people to parties they are not even hosting!

I agree with Diana, that is so very rude of them to invite guests to a party they are not hosting, thats unacceptable IMO. I would not invite people like that to my party and if they tried to come i would flat out tell them they were not welcome

[sfarrow3]

I wouldn't invite them.

Wow, i can't imagine inviting people to a party thrown by someone else. I agree with everyone else, i would just not invite them.
