Mother of the bride wants to attend bachelorette party.
I need some advice on how to handle an invitation list for a bachelorette party in Las Vegas. The Mother-of-the-bride has indicated that she would like to go to the Bachelorette Party. The Bride does not want her Mother to go, understandably. Please advise!

Dear MOB Problems,
It is unfortunate that the bride wants to have a party like this. There are so many things to do that she could have included her mother. Family members may be included. But, the guest list is the bride's choice as long as the budget is adhered to since the bride does not pay.
I suppose you or the bride will have to be honest with her mother and tell her why the bride doesn't want her to attend.

Hi,
Thanks for your response. I think I was looking for a tactful way of handling the situation. We, as attendants, wanted to handle this situation for the Bride and resolve the issue since we are planning her Bachelorette Party. The term bachelorette is, afterall, defined as "an unmarried woman."
We do have a Brunch scheduled more appropriate for family, As mentioned in previous posts, "mothers should not plan their childrens showers", we are trying to arrange and plan trouble-free events for all of the Brides guests.
