Re: My mom just called to tell me she 'hates my std's'

All that matters is that you and FH like them. You can't pls. everyone and no matter how hard you try you never will be able to. Remeber this is yours and FH's wedding and you make the decisions and do what you like best.

Seriously... your mom needs a nice kick in the ***! And pronto! Who is she to criticize anything you are doing when she will not help you in any way. I'm sorry, i know she's your mom, but if she was my mom... i would have had a few choice words with her already. And i hate to say it, but if she's doing this already about the save the dates... good luck because you're probably going to need it.

And yes, save the dates are supposed to be fun!

I love them! I think they're really cute. Mine are somewhat similar.

Re: My mom just called to tell me she 'hates my std's'

ummmm...i think they are adorable!!! where did you get them??? very cute!

sometimes moms harbor deeply routed jealousy and insecurity issues. don't take her issues to heart and let her ruin your planning

Re: My mom just called to tell me she 'hates my std's'

they are totally cute- i think they give off a fun, warm, upbeat impression.

Re: My mom just called to tell me she 'hates my std's'

I just want to tell you that your STD's are...ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE They are so cute and fun...just like they are supposed to be. I am sorry that your mom is being like this. If I can help you, please let me know. Even just to chat, FM me.
Again, I love the STD's

Re: My mom just called to tell me she 'hates my std's'

Your STDs are adorable!! They don't need to be formal AT ALL. FH and I sent magnets as our STDs. As long as you and your FH like everything that you pick out, then I wouldn't worry. If you mom isn't offering help, then she shouldn't get a say in the matter. I know it's hard when family members aren't enthusiastic about your wedding. But that shouldn't take away from YOUR excitement!! Enjoy your wedding planning; it's not every day you get to plan your dream wedding!!

Re: My mom just called to tell me she 'hates my std's'

I LOVE your save the date!!! No joke!

Is that a Something Different product? I thought I saw that one when we bought out Something Different invites


also, a big from me to you. I know exactly what its like to have an unsupportive mother while planning your wedding. some girls just get lucky with moms who are with them every step of the way.

but you will survive- for me, once she came to the wedding and saw how beautiful everything was, she couldnt stop complimenting me- after 2 years of fighting, screaming, and crying about $ and style.

hang in there sweetie!

Re: My mom just called to tell me she 'hates my std's'

Yeah it has not been fun thusfar. The day I got engaged I called her to tell her and she said, in her most depressed voice, 'if it makes you happy.' not congrats, nothing. She has more friends on my guest list than me and my FI and his family Combined... and she just does nothing. She has no idea the vendors get booked. Plus... my sister is due with her first child in March, so from that point on, my mom will be totally useless. I tried to do what I thought was best. I wanted the name of her best friend's daughters hair and makeup person. I asked her at least 10 times. She would not ask her. I had to email her friend directly and ask her for help. She still has not given me all her addresses, and I have had to personally email her friends. It is not like I am needy but it would be nice if my mom wanted to do wedding stuff with me, and if she doesn't want to, then she has no right to attack my choices.

They are really cute.....so much so that I have my own version on my computer. Someone on LIW posted a pic of them a while back and I copied the idea with purple dots and a photo

Re: My mom just called to tell me she 'hates my std's'

thanks ladies. I was filling with self doubt about my choice. Stressing that everyone getting them today was talking about how terrible they are. I feel a lot better. I was literally shaking. she was telling me they looked 'cheap' that the fact that I spent 60 cents on the stamp was 'ridiculous'. That they looked like 'garbage'.
I got them from a woman's house in oceanisde. I think they are Carson Something. I was considering a std magnet but, truth be told, I didn't want my parents friends kids (that I have no relationship) to actually stick on their fridge and remember the date. I want 'no's' from them
Oh, and to top it all off, I was on my way to my colleagues Wake today when she told me she hated the STDs. It was the last thing I needed to hear, I am barely functioning because of all this.
Hugs to all of you for your support. So glad you guys like them, your the best!

Re: My mom just called to tell me she 'hates my std's'

They are soo adorable!! I am sure your guests thought they were the cutest too!

Re: My mom just called to tell me she 'hates my std's'

They don't have to be formal, mine weren't. And if your mom is being so nasty to begin with why are you even listening to her? It seems like she's just trying to make you upset. It must be hard to have a relationship like that. They're adoreable!!!
