Most Drama vs Most Helpful

I have 3 bridesmaids and 1 maid of honour. I would say my MOH and then one of my bridesmaids have brought the most drama as they both have gone through break ups and kept not getting things done or got mad at me when I said I didn't feel much support from them when we were planning our social. Then one of my bridesmaids is my fiances sister and is always really busy with her work and her kids schedules, so she hasn't really helped with the planning or anything.

But my final bridesmaid has been super helpful. I'm glad because I can bounce all of my ideas off of her and she comes up with really good ideas that I wouldn't think of. So I am happy I can count on her.

I'm in early days of planning. No drama yet.... I can see it coming. My side of the family is laid back and will offer advice when I need it. FH side are more opinionated so I can see some issues closer to the event. FH stepmother has already told me I should just have a justice of the peace wedding without guests. Asked why I would get a wedding dress. I'm sure everything I do will be against what she thinks i should do.

We've had zero drama.

Most helpful have been our kids who are so excited!

Most drama: almost everyone in FH's family has been responsible for some level of headache. FH's grandma has been bummed since day one about us not having a Greek wedding and is vocal about it. FMIL took it upon herself to invite FSIL/BM to dress shopping without telling me until the night before. Now FSIL doesn't want to look at bridesmaid dresses anywhere other than David's Bridal. And FFIL made a stink about how a groom should wear a tux (not a suit) and I'm confident it's only because he wants to wear one himself.

Most helpful: my sister and mom have been great at listening to ideas and giving feedback and FH has been surprisingly decent in that department as well.

I feel like my mom has brought the most drama, yet is the most helpful lol.

We're both strong personalities so there's been a few times where we'd clash heads on certain things (guest list was a big struggle) and she's insisting we let guests clink glasses at the reception (since we're not planning on having any games/kissing menus). I'm also planning on asking someone to be a reader - and according to my mom there are easily 5 candidates - 4 out of 5 are already involved with decorating.

However, I would not be able to do the long-distance planning without her. Even with all our arguments, she's been helpful with buying DIY supplies, suggesting ideas when I was stumped, getting her side of the family to RSVP and general venting. She also planned my shower, which was a great time!

Most drama is my sister.

Most helpful, literally my fiance and his parents actually. I'm so glad I have their support right now because I would be a mess without it!

Most Drama, Future in laws side who made it a huge deal that we weren’t having kids at our wedding and one child was “ really looking forward to it”
Most Helpful: my sister and step mom. Both of them have been super amazing helping me organize and plan everything

My mother in law has added quite a few issues. We have 4 days to go, and she added in her brother’s new girlfriend’s 4 kids. There have been many other occasions where she just does what she wants. But 4 kids is half a table, and there isn’t room. That means that my friends will likely be left without. She has also been very helpful, she comes with me to get a lot of my stuff and watches my daughter when I need to get stuff done. By BMs have been amazing! They have driven hours to get here to help stuff envelopes and make decorations. I lucked out.

Most drama is my FMIL hands down. She caused some tension in the family because she was upset I bought my wedding dress without her (it was my first time out and I had no expectation of finding the one!) Shortly thereafter she cancelled the engagement party she was hosting for us with two weeks' notice. And then... She bought wedding day outfits for her and my FFIL that are EXACTLY our wedding party colours, even though I told her specifically not to get that...

Most helpful has been my Mom and MOH. They have helped with so many decisions and planning, shopping, putting up with me. I honestly couldn't do this without them!

Most Drama - probably my FMIL and Future Nana In Law... maybe also my FFIL... My FH changed his name to his father's last name as his Mom had given him her last name at birth as his parents weren't together and that caused quite the drama. Then at our wedding social my FFIL was going to drive drunk and was causing a whole fuss and had no remorse after the fact so we have stopped talking to him all together...

Most Helpful - Probably my Mom, Dad & Sister/MOH. Both financially and planning wise they have really been there for me and my FH

Most drama- two bridesmaids and most helpful I would say are the two MOH. Physically the one MOH has been the most helpful and has helped with a lot of venting and other things. The other MOH has been helpful when came to planning bach.
