Ladies
My bridal shower is coming up very soon and I'm not sure if I should invite one of my FH sisters. I don't really get alone with one of my soon to be sister-n-law (she full of drama). However, I don’t want to hurt my FH because he is very close to his sister. I'm really trying to be the bigger person in this situation, but she really gets on my nerves and I just don’t know if I can deal with her. ..... My MOH said, if I don’t invite her then I shouldn’t invite anyone from his side of the family because it might cause a problem at the wedding or cause a problem between me and my FH . ..... So what should a girl do?
Yeah I understand the all or nothing principal it makes complete sense!! But yeah - I understand you not wanting her to be there, I dont know I would say that she is now family- and thats one of those things you cant really choose- unlike friends, besides do you want the rest of the sisters losing out because of her. What if you just ignored her..or got someone close to you to watch her and keep her under control...I cant imagine the bitterness if I didnt invite my FH's sisters to my shower, yeah if they got wind of it it would be awful- especially if you just leave ONE out- yeah that would be more drama than just having her at the shower- dont stress do it with finesse

Unfortunately, we can't pick who our relatives should be when we decide to get married. As such, though your soon to be sister-in-law is full of drama as you said, you should be the classy person that you are and invite her. Now, nothing says that you have to be chummy with her, but be very polite and engage her in all types of games if you're having them, just so she wouldn't have anything negative to say, even if she wanted to.

Invite her....Never give someone more reasons to trip. I always leave it up to them to start something....That way I can always be on the defensive...So when it goes down: Me: "It was self-defense!"
queen, she probably won't leave the drama at home but she's your sister now so get used to it. My advice would be to have her around you as much as you can stand so she can get to know you and see that you ain't playin from the get.
