    Definitely mine! His parents hasn’t helped at all as far as our wedding goes. His mom did offer to host us a wedding Shower, but as far as the actual wedding just my parents.

    My mother is more involved, financially. As far as planning it was me with a little bit of help here and there from my fiance. We got what we want all planned out and now we just have to start making deposits. I'm super excited!!

    My parents DEFINITELY! Honestly I hate to say it but the only think my FH's family has been involved in is the rehearsal dinner and that is mainly because my FMIL is SO nosy and overbearing and wants to try and make decisions for us. So I have not included her on much.

    Definitely his mom since she lives in the same state as us whereas my family is mostly in California and my dad is not much of a detail planner 😂😂

    My mom is involved a lot. His biological mother is involved a lot too. His foster mom is a witch and hates me. That situation is a super long story, and she hates me for no reason. I was always nice to her until I told her I was pregnant with my youngest Sona and she basically demanded I get an abortion

    So many changes in such a short time. My mom has been active in looking for a new venue since there was a hiccup with the old one. She also showed up to the florist apponitment and helped narrowed down the caterer. His parents have offered financial help for the wedding. So both have been active in this now just in different ways,

    My family isn't involved too much in my life... his family is more family than my own most of the time

    My parents... well mom and sister. FH’s parents aren’t contributing so their options don’t matter

    My FH and I both come from divorced families... and we both have a set of parent/stepparents who stepped up for both of us. My dad and stepmom connected us with the hall we are using for the reception, gave us funds to pay vendors, and my dad built the arbor we are using at the ceremony (and my stepmom cohosted my bridal shower with my MOH). My FH's mom/stepdad are taking care of all of the decorations for the ceremony and reception.


    Our other parents have helped too but not in the same ways. My mother couldn't help monetarily so she would watch my son while I got my alterations done, checked out venues, met with vendors, etc. My FH's dad gave us some funds.

    Neither. My mom hasn't mentioned the wedding at all and his parents only asked a few questions when we were asking about who we should invite from his side of the family. My sister has told me she'd help in any way she can, just to let her know. I ask her opinion on things but it's mostly been us planning it...me, it's mostly been me lol he does help though

    Neither have been involved in anything thus far, and I don't see that changing as there's no need. It's a small event, and we're more than capable.
