Mother-in-Law

My son and his chosen bride have made all the arrangements for their big day. They want to pay for most of the wedding and reception themselves although on a very limited budget. I am proud of them for choosing this method.

Mother of the Bride is putting on a bridal shower. Telephone invitations I presume. Shower has been mentioned to Mother of the Groom, although no actual invitation given. Mother of the Groom has just discovered that an individual has been invited that it has been made very clear since before the engagement that the Mother of the Groom cannot deal with this person.

What does the Mother of the Groom do? There is no doubt by others that this is a set-up by Mother of the Bride.

Also, there is apparently no time available for the Mother of the Groom to arrange a lovely Rehearsal Dinner. Every date suggestion is squashed. Suggestions here would also be appreciated on how the Mother of the Groom should deal with the Mother of the Bride.
