[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not your job to decide whether her second wedding is over the top, or whatever. That's not your call, or your business.

It IS your business to decide whether to attend; RSVP yes or no, promptly. It IS your business to tell her yes or no to being a bridesmaid; tell her yes or no, politely, promptly.

All of this!!!!!!!
Stop pissing on her parade !!![/quote]

Immediate PP here.  It's not about pissing on a parade.  It's about the fact that these kinds of events typically involve a year of feteing and expenses for the bridal party and close friends/families.  Never mind the fact that, even the first time around, etiquette is often conveniently ignored for the benefit of the bride...you see so many of these brides registering for engagement parties, and expecting their "girls" to go in on things like destination bachelortte parties, but I digress.

OP already did all that once.  She laid out a ton of dough and was polite about it.  Now, she's being asked to do it again and is going to receive family pressure to go along with it.

OP, I'd just decline.  Have your husband handle it with your MIL.  Save your money.  Second weddings have even higher divorce rates.[/quote]

Yes, yes, yes, WE KNOW. It's not that we don't understand and agree with it. But it's NOT OP'S call whether SIL should do this. OP's business is simply attend or don't, be in the party or don't. Face the family pressure, because if they get put out, so what?[/quote]
