We always expect our closest friends to help during wedding planning but the bottom line is that while they may be excited no one is going to care as much as you do, nor is it in the forefront of their minds like it is for us.. I'm so sorry you are feeling this way and I'm sure you are not alone. i don't have much advice other than hang in there and you and FI can knock it out on your own.
I'm in NC! i'll come help! haha
Ps -you are getting married on my parents anniversary! they will celebrate 39 years that day.
I'm so sorry that you're going through this, and yes it is extremely frustrating. I for the most part have been planning this wedding by myself. FH's response to everything is 'whatever you want honey' which is sweet and annoying at the same time. And my girls are spread out as well..3 are in NC, 1 is in NY, and the other is in New Orleans. So trying to get them to help is kind of hard with everyone being so far away. And I'll be honest, there are some days where I'm just like screw everything, we're going to the courthouse, and then some days I really want a wedding. My only advice would be to just take a deep breath, try to relax and not get overwhelmed with everything. I even took a month long break from everything wedding. And when i got back into it, I was refreshed and excited all over again.
Stay positive girly!
I know how you feel and sorry you are feeling this way! I live in a different state to my family, MOH and BM and planned it all alone until they arrived a few days before the wedding. Had a few breakdowns and a few 'I want my mum' moments but got there in the end. Just take your time, don't let planning consume you and take a few breaths! Find a hobby or something to take a break with (eg. I went to the gym or for a walk) when you start feeling overwhelmed.
I'm right there with you but only cause i feel bad asking FSIL for help! I asked her today to make 242 backgrounds for my place cards. But i spent 12 hours yestrday making them ( a gift tag with a ribbon tied in a bow with a double heart charm hanging from it) I have 2 weeks vacay and am using it to finish my DIY stuff. i can totally comiserate with you. I am ok at crafty stuff but we have a HUGE guest list and i HAVE to DIY to save money! And I am saving a TON of it! hang in there! and if you need to vent, message me ;)!
Thanks everyone for the support. I am glad I am not alone...but in this case its a bummer that some of you all are in the same boat. @totheislnd I am in Fayetteville
I feel like I am not asking much of bridesmaids because I realize that this is my wedding and we all have our busy schedules, but sheesh save me a jar! I even send out a wedding newsletter through email once a month to keep them all updated. I ask their opinions on things I am pondering but mostly update them on things. The replies are typically "cool" or "awesome" :0(

My wedding is on June 23rd 2012. I have been planning for about a year now on my own. I have 4 bridesmaids and 3 live really quite far away one of which is my only sister (my other sister passed away 2 years ago). Only one lives in my same city. My mother constantly travels for work and my FMIL lives the furthest away. My FI is great and tries to be supportive but lets be honest, he's just not really into "wedding planning". I am starting to grow really weary of doing EVERYTHING myself. I am a DIY bride because I love being crafty and we are on a tight budget, so I have alot of projects I am working on. My wedding is small with a guest list of 80 people.
I have asked my bridesmaids to do simple things like, when you use a classico pasta sauce jar, save it for me please! In the entire year that I have asked them, they have saved ZERO! I am just overwhelmed right now and could use some words of encouragement maybe some advice? has anyone else ever felt this way during wedding planning?
