To feel overwhelmed at the influx of weddings coming my way?

In the last year or so my two sisters and my mum have all gotten engaged. There now seems to be rivalry between them as to who wants to get married first, all for valid reasons. They're all looking at getting married within 6-8 months of each other between 2020/2021. In between that theres Christmas, a few important birthdays and my own 30th which I had hoped to throw a big bash for as I've never felt confident enough to make a fuss of my own birthday and I'm quite looking forward to turning 30. At the moment me and my partner are both students, working part time and I have absolutely no guarantee that either of us will be in well paying jobs by then. AIBU to feel totally overwhelmed at the prospect of all this, and WIBU to ask them to space it out abit? I'll be a bridesmaid at each of them, with my two children in the wedding too, aswell as hen dos ect. The most expensive one planned (but not booked) is my mum who wants to have hers by the beach 4 hours away. We don't even drive! I feel sick :(

All you can be is very honest. Just say you won’t be able to afford it - you’d love it if you could, but you can’t. And that they need to expect you to take a back seat/have to keep costs down.

They’re your family, be straight with them.
