[quote=Anonymous]You sound very immature.  You singled out some family members and excluded other family members and then you feel affronted when the excluded family members felt slighted (which they were).   Hopefully you'll learn better before your children are school-aged when you have to deal with children who will not understand why you so clearly and openly favor some people over others.   While it was a nice gesture to thank the key family members who helped so much, that type of gratitude is best saved for directly to them or done in a way that isn't so pointed that you were NOT thanking those family members who didn't do so much.  If you don't get why this is so churlish, think of if you had a wedding and publicly, to all attendees, lavishly thanked those people who gave you cash gifts because you really, really needed it.  Think of how those people who didn't give a cash gift will now feel.

Grow up, apologize for being so sophomoric and tell MIL and husband that you are grateful for their love and support and did not mean to be so rude in the invitation.[/quote]
