[quote=Anonymous]Another way to look at it is, if others were paying for your wedding beforehand, they also be giving you their opinions and wanting to do things their way.  So by doing all the work yourselves, you got exactly the wedding you wanted and were spared a lot of drama and angst.

I think a PP may be right in that your parents may have had no idea how much things really cost.  You may want to reminsice one day with her and ask about how much weddings cost when she was getting married and what kind of planning she did for her own wedding.  While she’s reminiscing, you can also recall some of the details about your wedding and let her in on at least some of what you did.

If you’ve hosted the previous showers at your home, tell your Mom that you can co-host with her help.  You’ll provide the space and help her with setting up but she’ll have to provide the food and all other party goods.  You should clearly spell out that you can’t do more than that this time, so if she can’t take on the responsibility for the the food, etc, you will not be able to.
