I'm so sorry this is happening!! I would be so angry at her too if I were you, but from reading your post, I almost feel bad for her! It doesn't really sound like she's making very smart choices with her life... and maybe because she is jealous of you, which means she probably did it on purpose, not that it would excuse her from her behavior. You've already said some of the family has been harsh, its a totally different situation from your steady and good relationship. They probably see that difference so I think your day will still be yours and your marriage, a put together and thought out choice, will be seen differently from hers... a rather crazy whim. At least that what I gather from what you've said
Am I reading this correctly that your wedding is in November and you wanted your reply card back in June?
I agree. I know it's hard to be dealing with this but at least when you get married it won't be because you've HAD to. It will be a well planned, beautiful event.
Pinkshoes, I couldn't describe how annoyed I was when I found out about her wedding through Facebook and her pregnancy through text. I think I will feel bad for her after I get done being mad.
I'm thinking about sitting down with her and just telling her that I need to find a new MOH. I need someone who will be there and can focus on me. I don't want to stess her out more.
@Moose1209: I'm assuming she wanted it back early enough to make arrangements for the event. Hotel and reception...
Anyways, I'm sorry this happened. Just try to give her the benefit of the doubt regarding her family planning. I know it sucks but just remember you're being more wise about these things than she is and you're with a great guy!
I'm sorry, you're absolutely appalled and hurt that your sister is looking for churches to get married in? And you think she decided to have a child to one-up you? All I can say is, let it go. Her decisions have absolutely nothing to do with you, and it's not your job to decide when the right time is for her to do things. She can get married when she wants, she can have a baby when she wants. Maybe they're not the most responsible decisions for her to make, but they're her decisions to make and they probably have very little to do with you.
I think you need to get over whatever feelings you have against your sister living her life, and realize that a little baby is about to come into the world into what sounds like an unstable household. I think you should maintain your relationship with your sister as well as you can because that baby is going to need all the love and support it can get from more stable relatives - like yourself.
Although it really sucks that youre going through this, I agree with pinkshoes: your wedding, i believe will be seen in a very different light than hers. Especially if she's taking heat from the family. She is most likely jealous of what you have and because of that made some unwise decisions. Just focus on your day :) I'm sure it's going to be beautiful.
I'm sorry that you have to deal with all this drama though, maybe you can explain to her and how you are feeling. If she doesnt respond well or seem to care, maybe you can find someone else to be your MOH. It will probably make it a whole lot less stressful on you.
Tell her that shes not MOH anymore. Tell her that she should focus on herself-pregnancy & own wedding.
i wouldn't worry about the reply card..that seems silly to me to be mad about.
I would relieve your sister of her MOH duties, put it nicely and let her know you're excited about her upcoming wedding and baby, but you don't want to add the stress of your wedding on top of what she has going on. I know it'll be hard to get out nicely when you're upset, but you'll save yourself a lot of grief.
Just remember like @pinkshoes said, your wedding is going to have a totally different meaning to your family and that should make it feel extra special on your special day.
I think you're over-reacting. They've been together for 3 years...why is it so cruel that they decided to have a baby? Unless they decide they want to get married on your wedding day and put your entire family in a tough spot, odds are she's just living her life how she sees fit and not doing this to steal the spotlight from you.
I do agree with PP that you should tell her she doesn't have to be your MOH anymore since she hasn't been helping you out
I'm probably the odd one out, but I'd say Ziggletk was dead on about her sister. I've known A LOT of people like this who think they have to be the center of attention ALL the time and will do anything to keep it on them. Which is what it sounds like to me.
I do, however, agree with the others. Tell her she's out as your MOH (sorry, but I'd have been furious with HER deciding she'd be my MOH) and explain it the way you think best. Either so she can focus on the baby and her own wedding or because you're angry with how she's treating you. I just wouldn't do it when you're wanting to rip her throat out ;) (joking! just joking!!!)
As for the card, give her a set deadline: if she doesn't send the card back by then, she won't have a reservation waiting for her at YOUR wedding. Then, either ignore her or support her as you feel best.
good luck, and hope things calm down for you. :)
I say it's time to find a new MOH! It's not even because of the pregnancy, she just sounds like a brat!
Shey has too much going on to be your MOH! Just remember, though, if you replace her, she may FREAK and try to make things worse!
I don't understand people...grr.

I just need a place to vent and maybe get some advice! :)
I am 24 years old and have been engaged for 3 years, with my Fiance for 7 years. After I announced my engagement, my sister DECIDED she would be my MOH. I never asked her and after she decided it, I couldn't say no. I really didn't have a better prospective for this anyway.
My sister is 22 and has been with a guy off and on for the past 3 years. He's treated her pretty bad in the past. Everything minus the physical abuse, so it could be worse I suppose.
Here's where my anger and jealousy comes in. I decided to wait a little to start my wedding planning. There was no rush on things for me. I however, did start REALLY planning November of last year. I told my family and friends and everyone was really excited. I sent out the invites in March and asked people to RSVP my June 1st. I really want these reply cards back to keep. My MOH/sister will NOT send hers back no matter how many times I ask.
This is besides the point. About two weeks ago my sister announced she was pregnant. She says they have been planning it. I felt like she was trying to take away from my wedding when I heard this. It may be stupid to feel, but my weddings a destination wedding planned for November. It's just not practical to decide to get pregnant for this time. She always says how broke they are. The guy's a loser who is almost always on unemployment (no offense to those on unemployment, but he seems to SEEK it out and I've known him unemployed more then I've known him EMPLOYED). The only thing bigger than a wedding is a baby. I've never wanted to be or tried to be the center of attention except for this ONE time.
It took a day or two, but I got over it. I figured, I'll be an aunt and I can be happy about that.
Today, I found out that they are now actively searching for churches in the area to get married. Again, it sounds harsh, but I'm appaulled. I've never felt so hurt. I feel like she has now taken ALL the spot light from me as they are going to try to put this together very soon it seems. She doesn't even tell me this stuff. I have to read it on facebook.
The part that is really hurting me is the fact that SHE decided she was my MOH. Since that point she hasn't asked me ONCE about the wedding (she hasn't even sent the reply card back). I've asked her if we could get together to talk about things and she never gets back to me. I asked her to go out dress shopping with me one time and she complained about everything... the dresses I picked for her, the fact that it was taking a while and how she had to go do other things.
I don't expect her to wait until I'm ready to go about her life, but I wish she could have just planned this out better. It wasn't until I sent my invites out that she decided she wanted to get pregnant, married and that she wasn't going to help me out at all with my wedding, but instead plan her own.
I want to be supportive because she is my sister and some of the family has been harsh about her pregnancy, but I really don't even want to talk to her.
I don't know if I can talk to her. She's got "pregnancy hormones" going on and she is absolutely horrible at times.
