I am doing a majority of the planning and I have a coordinator to work with as well. I don't live close to any of the Moms (mine/MIL/SMIL). I want them all to feel included without taking away from what we want.
They are all pitching in for catering. They have put people on the guest list, and I was only okay with that if they are covering those costs. I am not bothered by the extended family they invited coming.
I want them all to feel included so I gave them different things. The SMIL is handling the rehearsal dinner. I cannot afford to pay for it, and she said she would take it on. My mom is handling the favors. And MIL is helping with some miscellaneous stuff and helping fund the alcohol for the bar.
At first, I thought this would be upsetting (I don't like letting people pay for things). However, a lot of stress has been relieved because.
Anything similar?
