    You should never replace a member of your bridal party anyway.  There is nothing to do but wait and see what happens.

    Don't get into the middle of a mother/daughter or mother/DIL fight. Let them work it out on their own.
    The fight should not have anything to do with her being your BM.

    I wouldn't do anything unless she comes up to you and says something about not wanting to be in the wedding. Her argument with her parents has nothing to do with her being in the wedding ( I am assuming ) . If you think your future inlaws will cause a scene at your wedding then you should  slowly hint about not wanting issues at your wedding and all. Personal I wouldn't stress about it.

    Keep things as they are and let them work it out.  This fight is between them  so I would stay as far away from this as possible.

    Not seeing how a fight with her parents affects your wedding.

    You could just tell her you understand how difficult mother-daughter relationships are, and that you hope they work it out.  Then continue on with the wedding planning, and don't talk about FMIL with FSIL, and vice versa. 

    Don't get involved in their drama. If she wants to drop out of the wedding surely she will tell you?  If she does, there is nothing you can do but tell her you are disappointed, and will miss having her in the wedding, but you understand her dillemma.

    Stay out of it.  The worst thing you can do, as a FDIL, is to get in the middle of a family fight.

    A family that will behave like this with their daughter is not going to take what they will undoubtedly decide is "meddling" from a FUTURE DIL well at all.

    Stay above it all.  It doesn't impact your wedding day at all.  If your FSIL is there, she's there.  If she's not, it won't change the fact that at the end of the ceremony, you're still married.

    You're not considering finding an understudy for her are you?  Because there's not a single, solitary reason why you need a back up BM.
    "Trix, it's what they/our parents wanted. Why so judgemental? And why is your wedding date over a year and a half ago? And why do you not have a groom's name? And why have you posted over 12,000 posts? And why do you always say mean things to brides?" palegirl146

    Like Trix said...step AWAY from the In-Law drama.  Seriously, smile sweetly and keep your mouth closed.  I'm sure that your life has enough drama without getting involved in theirs  Sealed  There is no way it will go well for you if you do.
    My baby girl is a married woman...and now my baby girl HAS a baby girl. Time unfolds in such an amazing way. I've been blessed!

    Inserting yourself into this situation is only going to make things worse.

    1 - Why would this fight affect whether she will be a BM?
    2 - Don't insert yourself into the fight.
    3 - FFS, don't replace her.

    I also have to say, it comes across as very insensitive that she's had a horrible falling out with her parents and all you can think about is how this might impact your wedding.  This has nothing to do with you, so don't make it about you.
