Advice

I think the thing to remember is that this is your event, and no one is going to be as excited as you are. The easiest way to get over it is to stop putting expectations on other people's feelings and reactions. There are things I though my mom would be really excited about that she didn't really care at all about, opinions I thought my MOH would have that she kind of brushed off. Ultimately this is my party that I am throwing, I can't expect other people to be as involved as I am.

View Quoted Comment I agree with this completely. The two people that will be most excited for the wedding are the bride and groom. Everyone else will likely still be very happy for you and excited about the wedding, but they also have their own life events going on that they are focused on. Elycia has an excellent suggestion on how to move past it: try not to have any expectations for how people will feel or react.

No-one will be as excited as you and your spouse, but that shouldn’t steal your joy! Have a great event!

Your wedding is still many months away and with the holiday season, many people can't even begin to think about events beyond. Again, no one will be as excited as you...

I haven't really encountered this too much, but it definitely sounds rattling. I guess I might feel a little disappointed, but I wouldn't want it to get me down too much. Just remember that it's your wedding day and if somebody has a tinge of jealousy, so what? Unless they are destroying your wedding or something, they aren't doing anything to you. Take a few deep breaths and try to ignore it.

I think it's important to remember you are entitled to feel however you wanna feel about the situation. If you're upset, that's totally valid! You just have to process your emotions and move on. Some people are going to be excited and some might not. When we got engaged, my fiancé's mom and sister weren't excited at all. They were more upset that they didn't know about it ahead of time and didn't express any joy about the engagement. You just gotta acknowledge your feelings, acknowledge their feelings, and keep moving on.
