need advice from other moms
let me first say hi me and my fiance are getting married in april and have most of our planning done
i have been trying to include my mom in just about everything i can from helping me with the my dress, the bm dresses, picking out my wedding band, flowers, shoes, you name it. my mom is paying for our reception but we are paying for everything else.
two weekends ago my fiance and I ordered our invitiations. my mom was upset to begin with that we put my fiances parents names on the invites because they havent given us any money though have helped us in other ways for the wedding. we simply put son of mr. and mrs. ...
for the responses we are having them sent back to a post office box that FH and I share. We did thsi for several reasons - one because we no longer are living with our paretns and two because we want the joy of opening our responses together, however we are not sure right now if we will still be in our apartment so we are having them go to our post office. Well the problem is that my mother took this as a sign of complete disrespect and that i stabbed her in the back, which was not our intentions at all. She feels as though she has had no involvement in the planning though i have brought her to above mentioned and also asked her opinion on many more matters. My issue is that there have been many ideas that i have had that she has not liked or even asked me to switch but its the way i wanted to be done so FH and i discussed it and decided on what was best for us.
my mother is now not talking to me at all and hasn't been since that day 2 weeks ago, wont pick up the phone wont call me, and when we went to a family dinner last weekend didnt say anything at all to me .. has also told me she doesnt want to come to the wedding, nor does she want me to get ready at her house like planned.
part of me wants to just change the responses just so that she will talk to me again but part of me doesnt because i ddint do it on purpose to hurt her i did it because that is where i wanted to have them sent ..
i'm just hurt right now because i have already apologized but that apparently isnt' good enough and i dont know what else to do ... its killing me to not be able to talk to her and i just simply dont know what to do..
**** please if any of you wind up knowing my mother by some chance do not tell her i asked for advice online becuase i dont want her to be embarrassed and i am not looking to start more trouble i am just looking for advice from other mothers as to how to make things better
