Hi Everyone, My in laws are very over powering italians! Was wondering if anyone has any advice of telling them how to back off without offending them! Obviously i appreciate the help but at the end of the day it is not them getting married!???? :s Thanks

i would smile sweetly when ever they say anything ....thank them for thier input.......then ignore them
I agree. Smile and say you'll think about it when you get time to discuss with h2b, then when you discuss it you can decide to ignore it!

There is no point in fighting and falling out with them so just listen to them and then book what YOU and your H2b want. At the end of the day they can say what they want about how they would do things but its not them who is getting married. Its hard but unless you stand your ground and do it your way you will not be happy and will look back in years to come with regret.
Try really hard to just listen, they will be almost as excited as you that their son is getting married. But don't act on all (or any) of their ideas as it could cause friction between you and h2b, the only time we have fallen out over the wedding is when somebody else has given us their opinion and tried to 'help' us!

Listen really hard, say that you'll talk with H2B about it but thanks very much, but in the end just ignore it. Thats what I ended up doing with my Aunty and Gran who kept saying that as I've got two kids already, I dont really need a big wedding, just registry office and thats it!!!

Everybody is saying the same thing pretty much but I agree, you don't have to fall out over it but do what you want :)

im having the same problem my nan wont accept that we HAVE to have a big wedding cos of all our close friends and family add up to a lot but we hav agreed not to talk about it anymore because she cant accept that weddings all cost a lot more than when my mum n dad got married (27 years ago) but because she helping out im just saying yes and doin whatever i want and then we have his mum trying to get us to have pink and butterflies etc because thats what she wants grrr i would say i agree with everyone else on here it is YOUR day (and other half lol) if they are interfering then just smile and nod and agree to think about it and if you dont want to do it then do what you want to do!
hope you get it sorted x
