Please can you help me, I am getting married in October, it is a big wedding with 120 guests. My mum who is quite well off but worked all her life for what she has is paying for majority of the wedding and has been so helpful and generous, yet left us to it. We are giving a substancial amount towards the wedding too, I am very close with my mum as my dad passed away 8 years ago, me and my fiancee spend alot of time with my side of the family which i know my MIL resents. She doesnt make that much effort yet loves to cause issues, can be very difficult in their side of the family she falls out with them alot. She has made no offer of donation to the wedding and doesnt expect to put a penny in as she blatenly sees my family as well off. She has tried to invite all her families partners to the evening do even though we havent met most of them nor should we have to as we are on a tight budget and have politely reminded her of there being no extra invites yet she still continues. Shes argued with us about that and hasnt been much help atall.
On my wedding day I would like to present my mum with a massive bouquet of flowers to say thank you for everything, yet I do not feel like I deserve to give my MIL anything. Is this acceptable please let me know?
