Okay, so I appreciate my future mother in law taking an interest in my wedding but it's getting a little bit out of hand. How do I deal with this? Just the other night she tried to get all of my bridesmaids and groomsmen to buy a bottle of liquor to make up a basket to raffle off at our wedding social -- which they can't afford, because they are paying for - the bridesmaid dresses/tuxes - travelling expenses to our wedding as they don't all live in the same town - wedding gifts Then she asked me if I wanted to create a wedding "newsletter" that we'd hand out to our guests. She used it at her wedding. No offense to her it might have matched her wedding, which was a casual out-door one, but it doesn't match ours, which is a Church wedding and then a very classy reception. I told her it doesn't match our wedding but thanks for the idea anyway. I feel bad having to keep saying no to her ideas but they're just not plausible or don't fit with what my fiance and I want for our wedding. Is she going to get offended when I keep saying no? Don't get me wrong, if she has a good idea I'll take her up on it, but our tastes seem very different.
--------------------
I think she's trying to find ways to be involved and maybe even trying to re-live her own wedding through you. Unfortunately, it's not always the right way. It's one thing to approach you with suggestions, but it's another to try to convice your bridal party to do things. You seem like you've been polite about all of it so far, but I suggest that your fiance talk to her.
