I know Today's topic is quite controversial; but it is a very popular issue among brides to be, so lets discuss!
You have been dreaming about this day since you were 12 years old and have mapped out every detail right down to the font that will be used to write the invitations 😄.
So now this day is so close to be becoming a reality and and everything seems set then suddenly...... Mummy comes home one day and ruffles your feathers with her own ideas and suggestions. Just as you are trying to digest her contributions.... The mother in law sends a Whatsapp message....it reads '' please call me asap; its about the Traditional Wedding, i have loads of ideas that we must implement''
I can imagine you right now....eyes rolling, teeth clenching and you are about to give an almighty scream!!!!
Just breathe, count to ten and read on.....
Here a few tips on how to handle the situation
First thing you need to remember is that is special day is just as important to you and your husband as it is to the whole family (yes that includes the mothers)
Remember that you are not marrying you Mother in law and your Mother is 'losing' you to another family. It would be ideal to think about that for a minute
Exercise some patience; i know this can be hard and their 'input may be frustrating you right now but just give it all a little more time
Effective communication is also very vital. Arrange a afternoon out with your 'mothers' and calming go through all ideas. Communicate calmly the reasons why you want things done a certain way and also be prepared to listen to their ideas too.
Get them involved in parts of the planning; like tasting the cake, meeting with vendors, seating plans (o.k maybe not seating plans lol).
I know the who thing can be overwhelming at times but trust me with a little patience and always having at the back of your mind the main reason for the Traditional Wedding - ALL WILL BE WELL!
