    Some of them I'm still lost on.... FMIL, future mother in law, STD, Save the Date, FI, Fiance?  I'm sure someone else can help you out with some others, I'm not sure.

    Which are giving you problems?

    SIL - sister in law, FSIL - future sister in law, same thing for a brother in law but with a B

    DH - dear husband

    e-ring - engagment ring

    RD - rehearsal dinner

    SO - significant other

    BF/GF - boyfriend/ girlfriend

    FI=future intended

    DH=darling/dear husband

    MIL=Mother in law

    FIL=Father in law

    SIL=Sister in law

    BIL=Brother in Law

    *Adding an F to anything pretty much always means "future" ex FMIL=Future MIL

    Ering=engagement ring

    MOH=Maid of Honor

    FI=Future Intended

    SO=Significant other

    STD=Save the Date

    TTC=Trying to Conceive

    Any others?

    I don't get FI.  I guess it's okay if I consider it "Fiance" but the "Future Intended" interpretation is just a grammatical clusterf*** and I'll get angry if I start to grammar-nazi about it.  Most of the other sites I've been on use FH for "Future Husband" instead.  I never saw FI before coming here.  Long story short, it bugs me.  I refuse to use any of the abbreviations - ever - ANYWHERE - because of it.  Everyone should switch.

    @NYE Gal:

    Yeah I thought it was just short for FIance but finally figured out it was short for Future Intended (which actually made more sense because all the other abbreviations were the first letter of multiple words...not the first two letters of words. ex husband was not HU)
