Well I'm so glad I found this site because I really need to vent...

Well, first off, if it wasn't for my mom, I probably wouldn't have even had a bridal shower. The girls helped her out and everything, but the bulk of the burden was plaed on her. One of my BM had a freak limbo accident and was sent to the ER during the party (she broke her nose), and suddenly the party became all about her. I know she feels bad, but that is all anyone ever talks about!!

Now, I am planning an out of town weekend for our "Jack & Jill" party (aka. joint Bachelor/Bachelorette Party) because no one ever stepped up. Everyone keeps asking me what we are going to do and I told them to research what is going on because I don't have tome to do it. All I really want to do is get away from all this wedding stress!!

My honest opinion is that if your so-called friends and family, (MOH AND BM's) cannot be bothered to plan anything for you or do anything to help plan anything for you...that you should just not include them in your plans. I mean...maybe you should just take the money that you were gonna spend on the Jack & Jill weekend and you and FH can just get away before the wedding and escape some of the stress. You could also just take the money and take your mother, who has been your only real support, and the two of you could go away to the spa and get pampered. IMHO if your bridal party cannot be bothered to do the things that they are supposed to do to support you, then you should spend the money and time on the JJ weekend with those that have.

I agree with Angel! Good advice!

i also agree. there's no reason why you (and your deserved mother) cannot enjoy the time to de-stress

Angel is absolutely right... do what you want to help you de-stress before the wedding and don't worry about what other's want, especially if they're not coming through for you the way that they should.

I am sorry things aren't so good right now. I suggest you tell all your friends about your plans and the real reason behind it. I am sure they would understand.. I hope everything will turn out good. Goodluck!!
