I've come to a road block in the planning of our wedding. My fiance and I live in Northern Michigan, where the wedding and reception are being held. However, his family lives in Southern Michigan and time is really not on our sides. I'm having trouble coming up with ideas and time lines for throwing the plethura of showers and parties that go along with wedding planning, Like the bridal shower, bachelor and bachelorette paries. Sure, they only live three to four hours away, but their work schedules and ours are really restricting. I was wondering if there are any other brides out there who've had a similar problem, and how the situation was dealt with. I am aware that my wedding is 14 months away, but it is important for all of us to figure this out so we can all plan accordingly with our jobs. Any and all suggestions are welcome! Thanks brides!!!
