Family Issues

Wondering if anyone else is having issues like I am and would love to hear your thoughts! DS's barmitz is in November and already I am having issues with my MIL. (This isn't new, LOL). Basically's she's newly widowed and seeing someone for about 2 months. I'm happy for her. But now she's asking us to invite a large group of his friends plus several of his relatives! I've only met him once and we just don't have the resources. I hate to "engage" with her on sticky issues but how can I get out of this politely. DH is staying hands-off.

Seems to me it's DH's place

Seems to me it's DH's place to negotiate. It's HIS mom after all!!
How many people is she asking to bring and how many are you having overall? Maybe she's just trying to make sure shehas a full table.
