Anyone else having issues with rehearsal dinner?
First, dad suggested we have it at the house & invite all out of town guests
Then, mom reluctantly agreed, but wasn''t pleased about having to clean & host
So, we decide to get BBQ catered and keep it simple- GREAT! No cooking!
Next, FMIL suggests we have it at a restaurant so mom doesn''t have to clean & they''ll pay
Then, mom agrees that it would be a good idea but doesn''t want all OOT guests invited
So, I look up 5-10 different restaurants for suggestions
Eventually, FMIL gives us a budget to work with (but would make eating out difficult with only the wedding party)
Then, mom decides that eating out is a pain in the butt but that having it home is a pain the butt too (WTF?!?)
So, she talks to dad & finds out dad REALLY wants it at the house
Now, she and dad want to cook everything & invite as many people that want to come
I''m so confused...
So... I was fine with everything up to this point. Now, they want the menu to be bratwurst, fried chicken, rice, and cake (and they are really excited about it for some reason). I think the menu is totally lame. I would rather have it catered, but I''m so sick of the plans changing and being stuck in the middle.
Do you think their menu choice is lame? Should I just put up with it or should I try to push for catering?
