you're not crazy, you aren't supposed to have him help you get ready, it's for girls only. just tell him that. show him pictures of other weddings online and the getting ready pictures are always all girls. good luck!
I don't think you are crazy at all.
I think your plan is a very good one.
I think it's a little weird to get ready together. But it doesn't sound like you two have a bridal party and your FI doesn't have anyone to get ready with, so maybe he doesn't see why you need someone besides him to get ready with. Just explain to him that you want to be all put togehter when he sees you in your dress for the first time on your wedding day. It'll be more special that way and you two can build up some anticipation to see one another.
You're not crazy. The first time he sees you after you get ready, whether done in a first look or when you walk down the aisle, can be such a special moment as you both come together for the first time as a couple prepared to be married. It doesn't work so well if he's the one who zipped you into your dress! Your plan sounds like a good one.
Not crazy! Tell him girls only time! I totally understand wanting to be all put together before your FI sees you that day (besides when you wake up).
Maybe another option is that your friend helps your daughter get ready and your Mom is with you. Depends on how only your daughter is and her relationship with the friend I suppose.
Sounds like a good idea to me! I'm impressed that you're trusting your parents and his parents to get all the kiddos ready! I'm so detail-obsessed that it would drive me crazy not to be able to do it myself! Good planning, lady!
I think it's a fine idea, especially if your friend is happy to help you out!
You should absolutely get ready with a girl friend! No guy will know if you look like your want to look. We were together the night before and set up the morning of, but went our separate ways to get ready.

Sorry, there are no users yet.
Our wedding is very small, and mostly all DIY. We're having a small, outdoor ceremony, with dinner to follow at a restaurant in their banquet room.
On the night before, FI & I are staying in our own villa, his kids are staying w/his mom & stepdad, and my daughter is staying w/my parents.
This means, on the morning of, I'm going to be going to my hair appt & then getting ready. FI is going to get ready over at his mom's & should be helping to get his kiddos ready. My parents will handle my daughter. FMIL will also be taking care of making sure last minute decor & details are handled at both the ceremony site & the restaurant, FFIL will be making sure my family is able to get to the site (It's a very small town in the mountains).
This means, I'll be on my own to get ready & head over to the ceremony location. I really don't want FI there with me while I'm getting ready, but it's not feasible to expect my mom to be there either when she'll be getting my daughter ready & herself ready.
One of my friends just called to say that her husband is unable to come to the wedding, so she'll be on her own. I asked her if she might mind coming down the night before, so that I will have someone w/me the day of to help w/getting ready & getting from the villa to the ceremony site w/out having to drive myself in my dress, etc. She's more than happy to do it. She didn't book a room, because she was planning for her & her husband to drive down the morning of & then back after the reception. However, there are 2 extra beds in the cabin my parents are staying in, plus 2 extra rooms at FMIL & FFIL's house. Talked to my mom, she's also more than happy for my friend to stay w/them, since they know her.
FI thinks I'm crazy. Says he'll be able to go for hair & help me into my dress, etc. Ummm.....I'm not ok w/that!! I know we're not following tradition, but I still don't really want him hanging around while I'm trying to get ready. Plus, I think he needs to be over helping his mom w/his kids if she needs it, since she's got a full plate already.
Please tell me I'm not crazy ladies!
