    Were Having an I do Bbq so it's all very laid back and informal, so everyone is pretty relaxed. No room for overbearing family members here!

    I have definitely gotten snippy with my mother and the groom because the planning process is so stressful, but I try to remember that thia day is for the whole family.

    Innocent. My wedding, my choices. My dad couldn't care less and I don't have much of a relationship with my mom, and my sister got mad I couldn't fly home to wedding dress shop like we planned because my husband-to-be had to have major back surgery the day before I was supposed to fly out. My stepmom was mad I didn't invite them to my Bridal Shower because it was last minute (like literally decided to have one 5 days before the day we had it) and 2,000 miles away from them.

    I/m sorry to say that No, I have not argued with my mom. My mom passed away years ago but I would give anything to hear her input on everything.

    My mom is being so helpful. She has been amazing. (My parents are divorced) My dad has offered to help but I haven't taken it up yet since my mom, my fiance, and I are doing okay so far. However, my future in-laws refuse to do anything actually helpful.

    Innocent, since we are planning and paying for our own wedding they just go with the flow. But of course give advice and suggestions.

    Nope! My parents and FIL are super easy going so it's been pretty easy so far.

    Sadly, yes! My sister((which is a long back story to our issues, short version: my best friend was my MOH then we had a fallen out. I asked my sister((who prior to asking she was constantly helping me with everything)) then she only cared about the best man an her self, who was my MOH, due to hear sleeping with the best-man and only thing she has cared about this whole time was what her attire was going to be. Anytime I mentioned anything about the wedding she forgot. She recently saw my mother the other day((we haven't talked in 2 months)) and my mom pointed out a car asking if that was the color of the bridal party, her response was, "she never picked her colors" Funny statement considering before our blow-out she had bought her dress and I had told her a million times what the colors were. My mother, who has been a big help, is a constant arguement about my bio dad. She hates him, him an I don't really talk much but I wanted him to be there for my wedding((only going to happen once)) so it's been a constant fight about it. With my mom it's been hard cause she has helped money wise with it and in other ways but her an my bio-dad have a huge messed up history going on. My Fmil, who has been trying to change not only the attire, the food, and whole bunch of other things.. Which opinions would be okay but she has not helped with a single dime, I had to buy her attire that she convinced my FH to have us buy, everytime I have asked for help on looking for things she has blown me off.

    No, everyone has stayed out of it pretty well. There's still tons of time until the wedding though.

    Guilty. Everyone has an opinion on how they think our wedding should be. 🙄 Unfortunately, my FH’s family doesn’t have a good relationship with him or myself so we haven’t discussed any details with his dad’s side of the family!

    My mom and mother in law both did significant planning for our wedding and i'm grateful because it turned out great and we have so much fun. However, during the planning process they got their way with a lot of things I didn't want because my husband was helping me pick my battles. We had disagreements about the style, dj, food, all of that. My mom would always say "can you let me have this one thing". I've learned that when your parents are involved so much, it becomes less of what you want and more about letting your parents have their way on certain things just because. Definitely a lesson for the future.

    No they are just sitting back and waiting to pitch in when they can.

    Not at all. My FMIL is a wedding planner/decorator and has been an awesome support.

    I was reading this comment and how did you deal with this or smooth things over I should say? I'm having the same issue with my mom (who isn't paying for anything). I feel so overwhelmed and stress. In addition, she doesn't like one of my cousins and feels she shouldn't be my bridesmaid. Ugh!
