Hair

Lol I’m sorry but your MIL will not steal your spotlight by wearing a hairpiece. Let this one go, sounds like you’re going to have bigger battles to fight down the road.

Do your best to ignore her. Guests will see what she is up to and not give her the attention she wants

Will anyone else notice I'd she wears them (aside from you) and is it worth the fight to tell her not to?



If you think it is worth it, I would enlist your future spouse to help you navigate how is best to approach that conversation. Your spouse and your other inlaws knows your MIL best. Maybe one of them has had this issue with her before and can advise what either worked or didn't work before.

She won’t outshine you, really.
Consider it a time you can be gracious and just let it go. It’s a win - win. If she’s just excited and wants to dress up, she won’t have any hurt feelings. If she’s trying to get a rise out of you, by ignoring it, she has no fuel to start anything.

Pick your battles. No one is going to notice what hairpiece she ha.

Is this for real? Are you truly concerned about another woman with plastic gems in her hair stealing your spotlight?

What kind of hairpiece would this be? If it’s just a jeweled barrette or hair clip, I don’t think anyone will notice or care. People accessorize with a little bling in their hair all the time. I would let it go and focus on the other stuff. If this hairpiece is more of a tiara or crown, then maybe have your fiancé help you speak with her about it.

Do you know what piece she wants to wear?
Unless she’s wearing a massive crown it’s not going to be noticeable nor should it steal your spotlight. This doesn’t feel like it’s worth fighting about tbh

I have to echo the opinion of everyone else- let it go. It’s just a hair accessory. It is unlikely anyone will even take notice of it, let alone have it outshine the bride. This is definitely not worth starting an issue with FMIL over. If you start issues over tiny things like this, you will likely be seen as overly dramatic to FH’s family, and any real concerns you bring up in the future may get brushed aside as you just “being dramatic” again.

Let this go don’t give her the time of day she won’t outshine you

I agree- let this one go. There’s absolutely no way she’s going to take the spotlight!

I agree with others. I’d let it go. There may be other guests who will wear them as well, and I doubt you’d walk up to them and ask them to be removed.

The only requirement about guest attire & acessories is the fact that a femal guest shouldn't wear a white or off-whitte dress, skirt+top or shirt or pantsuit.
Plus: everyone will know you are the bride and she is not. Nobody will upstage you on your big day , even with a fancier dress than yours.

You dont' get any say in what your MIL wears. Just let it go.

I bought blingy (but tasteful) hair pieces for my mom and MIL for my wedding 🤷‍♀️. They're not going to outshine the bride. If it makes her feel prettier, I would let this go. She wants to look her best for her son's wedding. If she's hoping to wear a tiara, yeah...that's a bit much. But a jeweled hair comb is pretty common for MOB and MOG.

I would just leave it. Trust me when I say this, unless she's showing up in a wedding dress too, no one will steal your spotlight lol. Pick your battles, and this isn't one of them.

Don’t. She’s your MIL, let her be. You don’t get to dress your guests, so any attempt to will cause unnecessary drama, when really, her hair will not matter even a teeny tiny bit. It won’t impact your day at all, so it is something to just let go. She sounds like a person you have to pick your battles with, and this one just isn’t worth it.

My MIL literally wore a crown for our wedding. Everybody still only looked at the me and the hubs 😂 so no matter how much she bedazzles her hair, you'll still be the star❤

I agree that letting it go is probably best.

We had a female guest wear a white dress to our wedding. No one cared.

As long as its not a veil, I think you’re good!
