Annoyed with friends and family - Rant!

So I have a childhood friend who is soooo annoying. I asked her to be my maid of honor but she declined. I was annoyed but understood why. So now my wedding is in 2 and a half weeks and she is annoy the crap out of me. Did you do this and did you do that? I want to say leave me the f alone!!! But I can’t. I was venting to her that I underestimated the number of people and now have to come up with money for more centerpieces. She’s like why can’t you use candles. I wanted to say NO!! It’s a day wedding! But I said nothing. I think my issue is that at her wedding she had paper plates. So I am kinda like how does she know what I want or how I want things to look.
I’m annoyed at my mom for having 4 tables of guest and that’s why I’m over. I’m pissed that she can’t tell her friends it’s my daughter’s wedding. Her answer, they have money to give you good gifts. I don’t know if your friends can give you good gifts. REALLY!!!! I’m not expecting gifts like that!!!

Lastly, I’m annoyed that my FBIL wants to announce he got engaged. I’m happy for them. But I feel like why now!!! You had over a year and you wait until the month your brother gets married to propose!!!!

It's funny to hear that your mom was mentioning about the whole gift thing. My in laws said the same thing and in the end, I think everything cancelled out with the cost of having them come.

You're almost there! I felt like I was really starting to get annoyed with everything closer to the wedding. Pop a bottle of wine open and know you're going to have an awesome wedding

I would avoid talking to the friend if you don't want her input. Just let her know you're sooo busy and you can't talk.

Nothing you can really do about your mom inviting so many people now. Just make the best of it. Ask her if she can help pay for the extra centerpieces.

I would politely tell FH to let FBIL know that it is not appropriate to announce that at the wedding.

I got engaged a month before my sister's wedding. No announcement was made (wasn't even a thought) but our family was aware of my engagement. As I was talking to family I got congratulations and showed my ring. In no way did it affect or take-away from my sister's wedding.

I can totally sympathize with you on all of this. My FMIL is really giving me a run for my money with this wedding and everyone seems to have a lot to say about how we are doing things. Just stay calm and take deep breaths. Your day will be perfect and in the end the only two that matter are you and your FH!

I agree with this completely! FMIL is definitely giving me a run for my money as well and EVERYONE is giving their input. I mean I guess since they are helping pay for things, I have to listen to them but it's just so annoying. My wedding is next month and I cannot wait for all this planning to be over just because those facts. Otherwise I love every step of the process...

Hang in there. Just let people say what they have to say and thank them but ultimately it's your decision. And believe me I know about the other engagements as my fiancé and I were engaged for a year, his brother then got engaged and married 6 months before me. Now 2 months before my wedding his sister gets engaged and is now having her wedding 6 months after mine so all my thunder has been stripped away.
