None of them but her mom are really excitied about her buying her dress or even excitied about a real date....What should I do? Do I saying anything to them or mention that her feelings are hurt??? HELP! (ps. I Have known this family for over 10 years & close to them as well has her)

    I wouldn't say anything to the family even if you are close to them, its just not your place to say anything.  I would just be really supportive of her and be excited with her when she shares wedding news with you!

    Her mom is excited for her and really that is all she can expect.  She is still in the early stages of planning so no one is going to get over the top excited now, but as the date gets closer they will get more excited and want to be more involved. 

    What I have found is that besides your mom, no one else is going to be super excited over every detail of your wedding but you and your FI, so that is really who she should look to for the excitement and support.

    Ditto PP. Stay out of it with her family. You can help by being supportive, but don't get on to anyone for not being so. Some people are not into weddings.

    I definitely wouldn't say anything to the family. Maybe you as the MOH can set up a meet and greet informal BBQ for the familes to mingle, don't advertise it as a meet and greet, just advertise as a family get-together and let them get to know one another.
