Happy Monday Ladies.

Do you know when your bachelorette party is?

My MOH and I sat down and figured August 11 would be the best.  I am  getting married Sept 8, so it is 3 weeks before the wedding, but we will be out of town labor day weekend, then another weekend is my parents anniversory and my brothers brithday, so the 11th is the only Saturday that seemed reasonable.  Well my mom is upset that, that is the day because my brother and sister-in-law will be on vacation that weekend.  They have not booked anything yet, that is just the date they are looking at.  As I think that is great, becuase I could careless for my sister in law my mom is going crazy on me.  Saying I need to work it around her... sorry mom it is my party not hers!  Also, my other sister said it is probably best for her not to be there because if I get drunk I will go off on her... we get in arguments every time we are around one another.
Should I change the weekend just to make everyone happy and be able to be there.... we can do the 25th, but that is the last weekend for us to get any wedding related stuff done that needs to be done...

    No idea :) I know who is planning my bachelorette party and each of my showers, and they have asked me for what dates to avoid but that's as far as I know at this point :)

    Why does your mom feel that your SIL needs to be there? Its up to you and whoever is throwing it for you as to what date works. If one person can't attend, thats their own problem.

    I think my girls picked June but I am not 100% sure when in june.

    We are double date twins!  We are getting married September 8th and my bachelorette party is the weekend of August 11th too (all I know is the date, nothing else).  My MOH blocked a date with everyone because the summer is so busy.  We are a couple hours to the beach so people are always heading down there on weekends - including me.

    Anyways, just level with you Mom.  Getting a date on the calendar that works for everyone is extremely difficult if not impossible.  Tell her this was the weekend with least amount of conflicts and you are trying to set the date so far in advance so that people can arrange their other plans if they want to make it.

    I'd just go with the date as picked, leave it in your MOH's capable hands and back out of it.  If your Mom asks questions, tell her you don't know anything because MOH is planning it.  Tell MOH to ignore your Mom's attempts to control your bachelorette.

    I think this is the point when Moms start to go a bit nutty - mine's been great throughout the process, but she's starting to try to tell me how things 'have' to be (like what I can and can't wear to my rehearsal dinner and bridal shower).

    I'm a twin date as well. Getting married on Sept. 8th and doing the Bachelorette Party August 10th - 12th. My summer is crazy with all my work events so that was the only weekend I could do it. I gave the date to my girls and said they can plan everything else since I get my date. And if people can't make, they cant make it. I totally understand. I wouldn't worry about your SIL. Hopefully your mom will mellow down about that.

    This os YOUR party. I'm assuming someone else is planning it for you, correct? Tell your mom that the date is out of your control as so-and-so is doing the planning. No need to move YOUR date for someone you don't even like!

    I agree with PPs, tell your mom that if she doesn't like the date, she needs to take it up with the person who is planning it.

    Mine is Sept 22-23, which is the weekend before my wedding.

    I am getting married Sept 8th as well! My party is going to be August 18th but that's because that is the only home game the Brewers are playing in August!
