Who is with who before the Wedding?

View quoted message Not really! It’s absolutely my moms fault since she’s being so close-minded about my FMIL (while FMIL is open to anything). To me, I’m easy-going and kind of like “the more the merrier”, but my mom has been showing a side of her that I didn’t expect.

Ugh this was so relatable! Do your mom and FMIL get along?

We had a similar situation, my mother and father, and his mom and step-dad got ready with me and he got ready at his father's house with his step-mom and his groomsmen. it all worked out, noone felt left out!

I agree with everyone else, it's really up to you. We're having his mom getting ready with me and my mom, and his dad will get ready with him and his brothers.

You set the pace and decide what you want.

We'll decide that detail once we know exactly who's coming.

It's all about what you're comfortable with.

We're having my mom get ready with me and my MOH (my sister), FH is getting ready with his groomsmen, his parents probably will be getting ready in their hotel, and my dad is getting ready at his home (my parents are divorced). FMIL wanted to get ready with me but my mom said "no" to that. So beware of that since sometimes despite the best efforts, stuff won't work out (since I'm in the awkward position of telling FMIL that I don't want her to get ready with me versus the real reason).

I think it is whatever works best in your situation. For us, I'll sleep over at my Parents the night before our Wedding. FH will stay here at home. The hairdressers and makeup artists will be starting at my Parents house with my Mom & my FMIL at 8am. All the Girls will have a strict timeline to follow. There is a $25 fee for every 15 minutes either makeup artists chair is empty... Plus we had to pay $100 fee to bring in 2nd makeup artist. The Photographer will arrive at my Parents at 12:30 where we will get pics of us all in our robes, my Mom zipping up my dress & my Dads 1st look. The Limo will pick us up at 1:30. If the weather is nice, we'll stop at the water front for some pics. After the Limo drops us off at The Country Club, the photographer will get more pics of us. My Future In Laws will be getting ready with the Guys. Its a 15 minute round trip from FHs Parents to venue so once my Groom, future in laws & Wedding party arrive, the photographer will be doing their pics until 3:15. Guests begin arriving at 3:30. 30 days to go!!! Our Dads have been BFs since they were 7 Years old. The last time our Dads wore a Tuxedo together was almost 50 Years ago when our Dads were one another's Best Man at our Parents Wedding 👰🤴👰🤴

I think it depends on what you are most comfortable with.
I will be getting ready at my dads with my bridal party (sister and 3 sister in laws) and my FH will be getting ready at our house with his groomsman. It will be up to him if he has his parents there as well

My parents are divorced and both remarried too! But for us our parents will just get ready at home then drove to the venue. There really is no specific roles for them before the ceremony. Just really depends on what you and them want.

For me I was going to have my parents with me and his parents with him - but with that being said his Mom may want to get ready with the girls (and be as far away from his Dad as possible...), and my Dad may want to get ready with the guys as he would be the only dude with us.

I would just extend an open invitation to all 8 of them saying that you guys would love to have them with either one of you and also the option that if they don't want to get ready with either then that's okay too.

I think this is open to what you and your family are most comfortable with. My FH will have his dad around when he gets ready but his mom will get ready on her own (they are not very close). My parents are together and I know my dad has no interest in seeing me get ready but he will still be at the house with us.
