Whose parents are more involved in the planning? Your parents or your fiancé(e)'s?

Yeah she is. Now that she is retired she has become a DIY Queen...

Mine are definitely more involved. They are checking into venues just as much as I am at this point. Don't know how I could get everything accomplished without their help.

His parents were pretty hands-off, but in a helpful way!! My mom kept wanting to be involved, but only to disagree with my choices

Michael’s parents are deceased, so rather than bother my parents, we are in charge of our special day.

Just us. Our parents are not involved in our planning. I keep my parents in the loopas they are both walking me down the isle, however the planning is all my fiance and I.

Love it!! I feel like a lot of dads are that way, don't really care about the details but just about giving away their child!

My parents are, because they are covering the full cost of the wedding. They have been kept in the loop the whole time, they've met with some vendors with us, and will also be going with us for our tasting.

His... my parents are involved but more of the idea: It's your wedding, you should do and have what you want..."

I'm so sorry to hear that But so nice to hear that she was so interested and wanted to help! Some ideas I have to honor them could be a special reading, empty seats at the ceremony for them, or a table with some photos of them on it!

Yeah I'm sure, it's probably nice to have them where your wedding will be to talk with vendors and what not!

My parents are more involved in this process. Thank goodness! I need the help lol

Equal - we’re eloping and they don’t know about it So there’s none on either side! They know we’re engaged of course but we were just planning on a courthouse wedding so there was never any planning to be had even before we decided to fly away to do it.

My family is more involved but both sides have an opinion.

Mine for sure....since they’re paying lol. His try to be involved but honestly they are really frustrating to work with. All they talk about is how expensive it’s been. I think they want to be hands on and I love them to death but they are the least decisive and least organized people ever. The one thing they did do (plan rehearsal dinner) is now down to the wire and there isn’t even a venue nailed down. Yet they constantly want to help more and I’m like.... you couldn’t handle one task why would I give you another?

again love them to death....not involved much in planning because I’d lose my mind.

Definitely mine! His think we should have went to the courthouse I didn’t want that 🤷🏽‍♀️

We are at the beginning stage so it’s kind of just me and my MOH and BM. Once we get further along I’ll answer again.

His! Aunts and cousins wanted hotel block info about 9-10 months before the wedding and before we had a chance to look into it and his dad insisted some of his own friends and family be invited (my fiancé and his dad are not very close and his dad isn’t helping financially with the wedding). My parents have been very “do what you want, invite who you want” about it so it’s been a little frustration for me.
