Mom Fighting - Color Of Favors
I am wrapping my favors in beautiful silver rather than white. My mother has expressed anger with this, that all weddings must have white favors, any other color is unacceptable. There is also white and lavendar in them. They look great. My fiance and i paid for them. Our ribbon is white. Am I nuts, or is she!!??

It is acceptable to have the favors the color of the wedding colors, they do not HAVE to be white. Its your day, do what you want to do

If all weddings must have white favors, I and a whole bunch of other people are going to be arrested by the Wedding Police.
Our wedding colours are royal blue and silver, and those colours are going to be part of our favors. The weddings I`ve been to, the favors are rarely all white.
I know that moms can be difficult during this time and have their own ideas of how things should be - hang in there! :)

Im sorry to say this but SHE is nuts!!! i for one just got married and had my favors wraped in pink organza ribbon and pink tulle for bubbles!!
I think she needs to look into some "todays" magazines and see the style now.. And forget the "old styles"
But then again she might freak to see everything isnt white anymore.
Anyhow THIS IS YOUR WEDDING AND YOU PAID FOR IT!!
YOU AND YOUR FIANCEE HAVE TO SAY IN EVERYTHING.LIKE IT OR NOT.

I was having the same problem with my mother in law. She was always trying to tell me what I had to do for the wedding. Then I gave her something to help me with for the wedding, she`s making my invitations and she stopped. Maybe your mom just needs to feel involved? Try to find something she can do. Hope this helps!

You are both nuts! what adult person on earth is going to argue about something as silly as party favor colors??? Oh please !!!! Did you know about the war in Iraq, by the way? Or did this just pass you by when you trying to figure out the importance of white versus lavender versus silver??

I very rarely see white favors, they are mostly done in color, or at least thats what I thought!! Yours sound very nice!!!
What you need to say to her is " if you are buying them...then they can be as white as you want them to be, but it not, I dont want your opinion. " It sounds mean but seriously, mothers and mother in laws tend to voice their opinion way toooo much sometimes and my philosphy is if they are the ones forking out the dough, make their opinion count, if not, you have to be strong and say it will be the way you and your fiancee choose!!!! GOOD LUCK
