[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - you need to decide what type of mother in law you're going to be. You are clearly not happy about this wedding. If I were you, I would invite my son's fiance to lunch or dinner and ask about the planning - GET INVOLVED. Be excited, ask about her memories vacationing at the location. I would develop a relationship with her directly because she will be family. 99% of the time the woman maintains family connections, not the man. Your son will likely never purchase you a gift or card again. He won't plan christmas with the grandkids. You don't want to be the woman who gets all huffy about your daughter in law being celebrated on Mother's Day when she's a young mom. You want to be the woman who says - "You and Susie have little ones - of course Mother's Day is about her now!! I'll see you all next week for lunch. I'm so happy you're making sure Susie has a day to be pampered!"

Your response here should be - "I've called a few places and read about XYZ online. What a beautiful location! Here are a few options that I found and would love your opinion before taking the next step. I'll see you for lunch tomorrow, Susie and we can hopefully chat about it then!"

If you don't live in the same town as them, start calling her just to chat, or make an overnight visit, etc. That effort likely pales in comparison to what the bride's family is doing.

Perfect advice.
I guarantee that this will work. [/quote][/quote]
