Bringing fiancé to look at venues

I think it's a good idea.... it's not just your wedding, it's yours and your fiance's wedding

ETA: I realize some fiances/fiancees don't care much about certain elements of wedding planning; however, I think a couple should be on the same page and consider all options together, especially big decisions.

FH and I have different work schedules so I went alone. But then I took him to my top 3 picks and he helped me decide. If we had the same schedule though he would've come to them all with me.

I went with my mom and sister to look at about 10 venues. Once I had picked the final 3 just FH and I went and looked at those together and made a decision from there. I didn't feel like he needed to be completely overwhelmed with it.

ETA: Also, he agreed with that decision. He had no interest in looking at venues that weren't going to be in the final "cut". So it wasn't like I was leaving him out of it, he just didn't want to go until I had picked out the final 3.

Not sure why it wouldn't be a good idea or be strange? It's both of your wedding. FH happened to not come with me because he was working that day, and it was really one of the only days in the near future we could check out the venues. We both had a vision in mind, and I showed him pictures. If he hadn't had to work, he would've come with.

My FH came with me to all of them but one, because he was working and wanted me to just go and see if it was an option. We actually picked our place because my FH loved it and it was his top choice.

We looked at them all together, my FH was more opinionated than I thought he'd be and asked questions I hadn't thought of. If we couldn't I'd definitely want to bring him before making a final decision.

I did a ton of internet research, we narrowed it down to 3 options, and we both (and my parents and his mom) went to look at them. I can't imagine not having his input on the venue for OUR wedding.

Absolutely! We looked at all of them together! This is a really big decision in the planning process, so I definitely wanted to make it together. However - if work or schedules prohibited one of us from bring able to tour the venues we would have looked at them individually and talked it through together!

We did 6 venue tours and FH came with me to all of them! Then we brought both of our families to our top to get their opinion.

It is definitely not strange and is a good idea. Mine didn't want to go. He told me to pick whatever I wanted so I went with my mom and sister-in-law and then showed him the photos after.

My fiance works 2nd shift so he couldnt attend with me so i took my mom and moh's but basically i took a video of the venues home and asked him what he thought and we decided

I think its a good idea. FH & I went to look at venues together; we were told by a few staff members that the men usually don't come, but FH wouldn't have it any other way.

I went by myself and took pics it wasn't enough so we are going to view it again today together.. he should be apart of all the important steps

My FH didn't want to come, he was just going to stay home with the kids. His sister told him absolutely not he would enjoy it, she actually showed up an hour before I was going to leave with pizza for the kids and told FH to shower and get ready he was going and she was watching the kids. He actually had alot of fun with me and was happy he got to weigh his inputs on what he liked and didn't like. I say bring him!

I don't understand this.

Just ask him. Mine came to some- but we both went to several venues alone- because of scheduling and what not.

Fh came with me because I'm really bad at special perception so I tend to think you can fit a dance floor and ten tables in a closet, so he was helpful in reigning me in when my visions weren't realistic and we needed a bigger space.

I don't think it's strange to have your fiancé with you when looking at venues? He's also getting married? And assuming you're both contributing financially to the wedding, he should be involved in planning so you're both up to date on the budget.

I did. We are planning this together.

Um it's his wedding too?

I sincerely don't understand why this is even a question. Why would it be weird for him to be as minimally involved as going to visit a venue?

If it's an issue of scheduling, it's totally fine for either of you to go alone.

We did a lot of research and looked online, but we only went to one venue and knew we wanted it. It was the first venue I looked at online and we both knew it was what we wanted but we appeased people by "researching" other ones. This is important to do together.
