This could be a tricky question. Yes the brides family knows she's getting married, is very supportive of this choice, likes her husband to be and his family. When getting married its a crazy time for the bride, should she have to call her mother and grandmother and ask them personally for assistance or to talk about the wedding? I would call my daughter/granddaughter. I think its a part of the excitement getting them excited, talking about wedding details, asking her what she is thinking or has figured out.

I think that the mother/grandmother should definitely call first to offer support, but it's not a big deal if they don't - they may assume that the bride has everything under control if she doesn't contact them about it first. They also might have had to deal with an overprotective mother at their own weddings and want it to be as easy as possible for her.
If this is about you and you haven't called yet, go do it now!
Good luck :)
Hi thank you for your response. Yes this is about me and it was a few months ago this happened...yet the hard feelings still linger. I did call them like always, to check on them and see how things were going. Mind you I have even checked my phone records, for 3 months leading up to the wedding I called them, there is not one phone call incoming from either of them. Which in my head supports why we were hurt about it. They never asked about any wedding details after they found out it was going to be a larger wedding. They were upset because they didn't feel and I quote "they didn't feel like they would stand out". Myself and my husband were very hurt about all of this. They caused scenes at the wedding, told everyone they didn't know what was going on, making drama never the less. Literally through a fit and caused a scene one because my father was there and two because he was walking me down the aisle.
I called weekly, they never asked how it was coming, what colors I was doing, what the catering was going to be, any details. My husband and myself did everything on our own, which we didn't mind. But now (months later) they are just throwing it in our face that we didn't tell them what was going on or ask them for help. We have gotten over it, it is what is it. Yet they are constantly wanting to come over and start bicker fights or call fighting about what happened. I am OVER it. Its done, is in the past and in all reality their actions really made leading up to and even at rehearsal made me miserable. I don't want to live in the past but they expect us to bow down and apologize to them and make things right. They say we are in the wrong...I am not sure at this point who is wrong, but what's more confusing is why we are even still talking about it.
