Would you rather... hand over complete planning control to your parents or your future in-laws?

Between you and your fiancé(e), there’s probably one set of your parents that you’d trust more to take the lead on your wedding planning! Whether they throw better backyard barbeques or simply know how to entertain a large crowd... Would you rather... hand over complete planning control to your...

Next question: Would you rather... have a dress that looks amazing in person but so-so in pictures or vice versa?

    My parents. My mom mostly since I am having the wedding at their house. Also my mom is better at planning events and getting things done.

    Hands down, my parents. If his parents took control over the planning, it'd 1) never happen, 2) Be at the courthouse, or 3) Involve the backyard, which is not very scenic at all & pizza, maybe a BBQ... I'm good.

    Hi KatieLaine! Are your parents already involved in the planning process?

    They weren't originally, but my dad has taken an interest in this process. He isn't one to show affection, so this has been a nice experience to see what his thoughts are. And as he's offered to pitch in if we need it, I think he's a little entitled to have an opinion. I also thinks he realizes I am the only kid of three of us that'll get married. So it's been sweet to see him like this. As for FH's parents...someone asked if they were throwing us a bridal shower/Jack-N-Jill party and their response was "If they want one, they can tell us when and where and we'll be there." 😒 It says a lot to me.

    I’d for sure give the reigns over to my mom, she knows my Vision and I know I’d be in good hands!
