Do you have to travel more than half an hour to this thing? If so, I would completely blow it off. If not, get a lame gift (regift if possible) and eat and drink 10x your share.
Everyone saying "b-liists are normal" and "you have to invite family" and "you have to do this or that" - that's BULLSHIT. If Groom would have rather had aephialumhubby than his bitchy 4th cousin he never talks to and who is probably being dragged to the thing, he needs to grow a pair and say so. Getting married is for grownups, not children. Be a grownup and tell people it's your wedding, not theirs. There was just an article in the paper today about how people's wedding costs kept going up because their parents forced them to invite ever more family and friends that they didn't know from Adam. Maybe the parents are giving them money, but the bride and groom are the ones with their names on the bills.
And from what I know about aephialum's mother in law, I doubt that this is about thinking that aephialum and hubby would be hurt, more that SHE is offended that HER offspring wasn't included.
