"Tell everyone to bring monetary gifts only!"

Stop telling people the price of your wedding. It's no one else's business and your are just opening yourself up to unwanted commentary.

I agree 100%. It wasn't me though. When he said she asked how much it was a person, I asked him why she wanted to know? He said she was probably asking to help out. I told him THEN that it was none of her business. He proceeded to tell her anyway.

Don't discuss money with anyone.

Family!! whew!!! His Godmother sounds like some people in my family..... Money is a motivating factor in their lives....

I have so many stories.... but my sister.... i swear her comments to me are killing me slowly....

they've ranged from "you should just go to the courthouse " (because i said that we wouldn't be taking any trips anywhere after June).... to just yesterday asking me "where the money came from to order my gown".... A gown that I ordered Nov 4th.,... I looked at her with such awe and disdain.... i mean really we have SIX months till our wedding.... wth does she think we've been doing??!!! (and i do not share any wedding details with her unless she asks)

her problem is that she doesn't know my FH salary and it is driving her absolutely crazy not knowing how we are planning and paying for OUR wedding.... Her and my mother are Both waiting for us to fail at this.... and i am FED UP!!! Sick and tired of them and their comments and pure hatred of my happiness.... they dont even know how much our wedding is or our budget.... and they are not contributing a damn dime....

Sorry for the vent on your post but ive been holding this in a long time....

Lol TBMW, it's absolutely okay. Trust me I get the same thing. People ask me where I get money from to do certain things all the time, but it's absolutely no ones business whatsoever.

Thank you for being so reasonable and level headed! It's so nice to read a thread like this versus a thread where someone is ONCE AGAIN asking how to "politely ask for money."

Ugh.

@MrsWatson my sister literally Googled the price of a venue I was looking into and then proceeded to tell me "that's just way too expensive for you. Look somewhere else." No one told her anything, she just decided to Google it. I'm still not even sure how she knew where we were looking at, unless our dad told her (he went with us to look at it).

OP, I'd talk with FH about this. Finances are definitely no one's business but your own, unless she's helping to pay something.

The only person that knows the cost of wedding stuff is my mom. She is helping as much as she can (originally just 5k which is awesome but now she keeps saying well I will help pay this too). Unless the person is helping monetarily they have no need to know. You were right and maybe should explain that to your FH so he doesn't keep telling people. Congrats on getting your venue and locking your date in.
