when to stop inviting grandparents to birthday parties

I don't want to invite MIL to my twins 9th birthday party this year. For several reasons-one being I don't like MIL and don't want to fucking deal with her. Two-I feel like her being there is pointless, My kids will be playing with their friends the entire time going down a waterslide over and over and swimming, I don't see MIl going down a water slide. And third reason she never knows anyone at the parties so she just follows DH around the whole time talking to him and taking up his attention so he can't help me or talk to the other guests like he needs to be. 


My mother comes to the parties but she helps the entire time. That is pretty much all she does. My father comes but he is the type to go down the water slide. But I am probably not inviting him this year either as I am on the outs with him right now. 


So I brought up to DH I don't want to invite MIL this year and he got all pissy about it. I told him we would probably be doing her a favor as she always looks uncomfortable at the parties and its not like she is going to be going down the water slide or anything. 


So anyone got any good ideas of ways to shut this down with him? I get irritated because MIL pays for her DD's grandkids birthday parties and has never offered a penny to me to help with my kids parties. She also does not help during the party. She just is there and its annoying. 


Any advice?
