Hey , I'm so sorry you r going thru this. Not seeing you on mother's day bc mother in law more important. Nonsense . Sounds like the gf is a chip off old block of mom. Sounds like sons gf is a well....brat. idk best advice other than talk to your soon about how you'd like to be with him more , or make plans to take walks, lunches , etc things that don't break the bank. Invite son and gf or if gf doesn't come just son. Start to do all you can to make effort to be with son away from this so he can make sure it's what he wants . You are his mother , you deserve to be held high

Re: Favors
I don't really know.. I am thinking about trying to make my own chocolates and buying candy molds in the shapes of starfish & sand dollars.. then putting one of each in a bag with personalized ribbon.. don't know if I want to take that much on though.. otherwise I have no idea..
I will be tieing our photoshare card with black ribbon around the box .
We just ordered some handmade (from Maine) clay moose ornaments from etsy that are adorable. They are holding a little heart that is hand painted with "Maine 2011" on it. Our wedding is Sept, but we're giving the ornaments as favors because my FI and I always get an ornament whenever we travel anywhere to remind us of that trip. So we're going to tell our story about how we collect ornaments and put a cute saying about the memories we made together over our wedding weekend. It's a little corny, but it's a personalized favor, it's something people can use, and it's a momento of Maine so we really liked the idea.
We went the food route. Our wedding was in September in the mountains...we narrowed the choices down to maple syrup or blueberry jam , both a nod to my Maine stomping grounds. In the end we went with the jam, Stonewall Kitchen makes mini sizes and we had a friend who was able to work a discount for us. There is a woman in NH who will also makes jams for a VERY reasonable price and make customzied lables. I saw her at the Mollyockette fair in Bethel over the summer....I believe her name was Zelda. Shouldnt be hard to find with a name like that for anyone who is interested.
We are doing mini jams and mustards from Stonewall Kitchen.

We are doing CD's as the favor and adding music from our wedding. I know it's been done but we LOVE music so it will be fun. We are having this dual as a place card as well.
