I am having a hard time getting both my mother and his mother to purchase their outfits for the wedding. I AM SO FRUSTRATED! I don't know what to do. My mom is acting all picky like this is her wedding and his mom just doesn't seem interested in buying. The wedding is in 2 months and neither one has an outfit. I could cry.

Two months, relax - most people like doing things last minute. Suggest that they go shopping together.

Make sure to you are helping them to participate. Take your mom dress shopping first and then plan another trip to take both of them, on your shopping trip you can also get to know each other better since you will be family.
Dont worry about getting their dresses now, some people are able to find dresses at the last minute. You can give them until a week before the wedding before you turn bridezilla.
Maybe they are both undecided on what to wear, so every time you get a chance you can show them different styles of dresses. You can also go out to dinner once in a while, and on your way to the restaurant stop by a dress shop.
Goodluck!

Ms. Turtle, don't panic! Please calm down just a little. My daughter got married during the summer, and I didn't have my dress until about 2 weeks before the wedding. My daughter and I had spent 2 days looking for a dress, and I couldn't find anything that was suitable. Third trip was the charm.
Why not ask Mom if you could take her shopping for her dress? Make a day with her. Have a nice lunch, and spend some time just the two of you. She's losing her baby girl, and it's a emotional time for her. So, make a special day of it. This way too, you can make sure she gets something that you like. lol
Now, Mother in law to be-do the same thing. Ask her if she would like to spend the day with you, and go shopping for her dress and you again could have a nice lunch out. Tell her you would love to help her find just the right dress.
By asking them out for the day, you are being nice, but yet reminding "hey get off your butts" there's things to do. Also, the Mothers will feel like you are making time for them. It will make them feel special and loved. Don't cry, honey, things will work out. I promise you. That this women will have their dresses or outfits, they won't ruin your most happy day. If you don't have time to take them shopping, give them some catalogs. Mark some dresses that you think they would look great in, and give the ladies the "hint".
We old people don't move as fast you younger ones. But we do get the job done. So, please if you have time to take them shopping do so, it's a very special occassion for you and them, and it makes a nice way to get to know the Motherin-law. And as far as your Mom, it's was nice to have my daughter all to myself for the day. So, please dry those tears, and get to hinting...
God bless us all...........

Please dont worry. (I know...easy for ME to say)
Each of the mother's is dealing with this in their own way. One is likely putting it off because she cant believe her baby is marrying. The other is in a tither because her baby girl is going to look so beautiful, she doesnt want to let her down.
Both Mom's are more than aware of the wedding date. This is your day as a bride....don't worry about them. There will be enough coming up that will take your mind off it.
After the wedding you look back and know that it was stress in general affecting everyone. :)

My mother and my mother in law both bought their outfits only a week before the wedding and they both looked lovely. I wouldn't worry about it to much. Let them know what colors/formality are best - and let it be. They know they will be watched and photographed - they aren't going to show up in jeans.

Chill out, they are not going to walk down the isle naked. Tell them what colors they can choose from that will co-ordinate with the bridesmaid and the level of formality. If you want you can take them out together or separate and shop one week end. (Alterations cost big time if put in as a rush order)

If they don't get good outfits, then they are the ones that are looked upon poorly, not you. How they look should not be a worry for you. If nothing else, you will look even better next to them.

How about making a special trip of it with each of them separately? I bet it would make each of them feel special to have time with you and you'll have some say in their choice as a bonus? Go to lunch, visit the stores, ooh and aah over the best dresses....
