Need help. The wedding I’m apart of for cousin is in less than 2 months and still have not completed decor, outfits for kids, no idea on timeline for day of or anything. I know all this will be put on myself and my 2 other cousins when she realizes she’s screwed. No one has answered our questions regarding budget for bachelorette party wen though they were supposed on Wednesday.
we ask to help and she says I don’t want to but we have so little time now. How do we motivate her to want to do things? It’s crunch time. Never been in a wedding like this and I have been in 8

Take some time away from wedding planning! Honestly, sometimes a break is all you need to feel rejuvenated and then you can get back at the planning! Here are my thoughts for what you have left to do:
For the bachelorette: Let everyone know the deadline has passed and since they did not respond, you can only assume they do not want to be included. Let them know they will be missed. Sometimes, you have to get tough in order to motivate them. Hopefully they will then respond, but if they don't, you can either change plans to something that won't cost as much (like an at-home spa day) or just have a small bachelorette with the people that did respond.
Timeline: This is pretty important, but doesn't have to be specific. We don't have times for our reception, just what we want to happen in the evening and our MC will be in charge of making sure it all gets done.
Decorations: Yes, there nice, but honestly, I have no idea what the decorations were like at any wedding I have been to. Centrepieces are rarely photographed. The only decor I've seen in pictures is the front of the ceremony space and behind the head table at the reception. Other than that, don't worry about decor if it is too stressful!
Outfits for kids: Can just be something they already own. we are putting our children in black and white, since they all own something that is black and something that is white. They will grow out of it in a couple months anyway, so no need to buy something brand new.

Don't stress! Perhaps your cousin is trying not to burden you too much, knowing that you have your own wedding to take care of as well. Maybe she has a planner or perhaps she found a venue that has no need for decor...but like the others said- it'll be her fault if it's not completed on time.

Do the best you can to help her as much as you can, but I wouldn't worry to much or stress about it. It's up to her to make sure her wedding goes according to how she wants it, and make sure everything is coordinated and getting done. If she has a wedding planner they might be handling all of the coordination, but if not, it is her responsibility and should be her worries not yours.

I wouldn’t stress about it. You have your own wedding to worry about. This is hers, if it turns out to be awful she has no one to blame but herself. It’s not your job to make her wedding awesome, it’s hers.
Just relax and let her deal with the consequences of her own actions.
