My mother-in-law want to invite everyone she knows...... My mother is taking people off the guest list because they didn't invite her to this or that. Its pretty comical sometimes but I never knew how hard it was to get a guest list together. We are paying to for whole wedding ourselves so I think it's pretty funny how both Mothers are being about the whole thing.....
Anyone else having any comical or interesting guest list drama going on???

Tell MIL to keep her hands off the guest list.
I've been ok with my guest list. We are trying to keep it down to about 50 or so guests, but we also want to invite our friends. I want to invite cousins and an aunt or two more than all of my aunts and uncles, and the groom wants to invite more aunts than cousins. We also want friends to go too.
SO we figured that our first bout of invitations will be to immediate family, aunts/uncles, and cousins. After we get back yes/no from them, we work on the friends list.
I hate the whole guest list drama, I swear I got ready to say "screw it lets elope" several times, and the fun is just beginning! haha!
Regarding your guest list, I hope you have one saved up somewhere where only you and your groom can get your hands on it, so you don't need to go rehunting for an address!!

It's your wedding, you should invite who YOU want. No reason to invite a bunch of people you don't even know that well. Especially when it's a good rule of thumb to only expect about half of your guests to RSVP.

OK, if you're paying for the wedding, then why is your mother in law and mother contributing names for the guest list? I'd tell them that any of "their" guests who RSVP, they can pay for thenselves, but you're not paying for "their" guests. Invite who you want to invite, and leave it at that.

i think its normal to have arguements and disagreements when it comes to the list, they forget about whos day this is. Try making the list without either one of them and do it with your soon to be husband. If you have any questions about someone than you should ask them, but for the main part just invite who you want.

Yes, I decided to just invite who I wanted and they could get over it.
