How has your planning been? Do you feel like your mom is involved? Just wondering how others' experience has been. Thanks in advance.
mine lives in florida. it was hard. i did dress shopping before she came up. once i was ready for her to buy something, that's when she came up. i didn't have her here for the fittings. my moh and sister came with me. i kept her up to date with the planning
I lived OOT-CT and mom lived on LI for the wedding planning! Wedding was on LI. so it was VERY helpful having her there. She never felt out of the loop because I did all of my vendors and meetings and shopping for everything on LI
i'm out of state and my mom's on LI - it's been hard for certain things like dress shopping but it ended up working out great b/c i did some shopping without her and called her to come visit when i found something i really liked. sometimes it's actually been hard to keep up with her since she can go look at vendors and stuff anytime she wants but she's so excited that it's way more cute than annoying.
I live in Ohio now and my parents live in Florida so it is hard at times to get wedding planning done. I was up in Long Island in Jan. getting a lot of things done and my Mom and sister flew up. There would be no way for me to go to a dress fitting without her there. When I am on Long Island I just try to get as much as I can done. We plan ahead to figure out when we are going. I am coming up for Memorial Day weekend to finalize a lot of things because I won't be back up again until the week before the wedding. My parents are planning to fly up as well to help out and to be apart of it as well as they should since they are helping us out big time!
my mom is in NY and im all the way on the other side of the country 3000 miles away lol in san francisco currently going to school here. She helps with all the wedding stuff and is very involved since my wedding is in NY its easy for her to get things done even when im not there.
mom lives in LAs Vegas....I dont feel that she is involved really at all. I am basically doing all the planning myself since FH doesnt want anything to do with the planning
My mom's in VA. I think it's been hard for her to feel involved. She wasn't with me when I got my dress, but when she came to visit I tried it on for her. I've tried to keep her in the loop as much as possible, but it's tough b/c she doesn't know how things are done in NY. She's expecting a southern wedding, and I've learned that NY weddings are very different! I had to explain the CH and why we're having an open bar, etc. Plus I'm close to my FMIL, so I think my mom's jealous.
My mother lives over 500 miles away, so her wedding planning involvement was somewhat limited. However, every time she made a visit down to LI, I had a project ready for her to be included in on - dress alterations, OOT bags, florist, photographer, etc.
I think it really depends on you....personally, my mom lives in FL. but I call her the moment I do just about anything wedding related. Plus...when she is here....we spend a lot of time craming wedding stuff into the week this way she gets her fill when she is here.... I try to keep her involved as much as possible!
