My parents, sisters, maid of honor, and other two bridesmaids live out of state. I have basically done all the planning and preparing for my wedding myself, with the help of my fiance,of course.
Who all is helping you for your wedding? Do you have a wedding planner, or a mom or MIL helping you? I’m personally glad that my mom lives out of state, because that way SHE doesn’t get too stressed when things go wrong (I’m much better at stress management due to my job) and I can choose the things I want without her being too overbearing or trying to sway my opinion.
I have a ton of family helping out the day of the wedding too, but they haven’t helped up to this point.

I have delegated some projects to my mother, but get almost no help from my fiance. My mother is embroidering custom linens, as she is a seamstress, and centerpieces. My fiance, a professional musician, has handled the music (which sort of scares me because he is sooooo clueless about weddings).
I have handled every other detail by myself.
Usually I am great with stress management and nothing really gets to me. Unfortunately, my bridesmaids have declared in the last week that they hate each other and their relationship is what’s stressing me out about this wedding! With 8 days left until my wedding, yes I am a little stressed!
Jackie, I also planned our wedding with just the input of my then fiance. My situation was like yours. Although I love her very much, I was also glad my mom was in another state because, honestly, she would have also been overbearing and trying to sway my opinion about different things such as my gown, colors, etc. I’m so glad we paid for it ourselves too.
Not only does my mom get stressed the same way, she also stresses ME out when she gets that way. It can be very upsetting for me. I had to pull all my strength together on my wedding day to just ask her to calm down and not stress me. I was trying to enjoy it and think about what things I had to do, and she was voicing her worries out loud to me even though I had done all of this to pull the day together myself. Maybe it’s a “mom” thing. I don’t know. Afterwards, she couldn’t stop remarking about how well-organized the wedding was!
Well most of my friends and family live out of state. When my sister is over she looks at wedding stuff online with me and has actually blurted out some really good ideas despite her age. My sister in law and a close friend look at stuff i find online and we email ideas and comments back and forth. For the most part I am totally on my own with the wedding planning and I kind of like it.
My mom and mother in-law are helping. I also have a maid and Matron of honor. My matron of honor is the best friend anyone could ever have. She had her big wedding so she knows all the important stuff I have to take care of. If i forget something she is always right there behind me fixing it. Her mom is doing all of the flowers too so that’s a big help. Hang in there…. It will all come together beautifully! Good luck and congrats
My fiance & I planned our wedding by our self my way of thinking is that the more people that there is the more stress more conflic there is more opinion & I think that the wedding is about u guys & not the rest of the people just know that everything will go just perfect & enjoy your day.
I’m planning my wedding (wedding will be 3/27/10) all on my own with suggestions from my fiance (which I love and hate because we have different ideas but we compromise…sometimes). I do wish I would have someone else to help i feel overwhelm sometimes.
I am planning my wedding myself. I have the help of my fiance, my sister, and my maid of honor, who is great. And the help of Yahoo Answers!
My oldest daughter is helping me plan my wedding and she is my MOH. This is my second marriage and we are having a blast doing everything together.
That’s about how I did it. We did the planning and then family members helped put the plain into action on the big day.
I didn’t have any help at all. I did it all on my own.
