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...

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

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

    My in-laws. My parents are divorced so them planning anything together would be a treason wreck. My in-laws are fun and would probably plan a nice wedding.

    Really neither, but if I had to pick probably my future in-laws only because my future mother-in-law has a creative imagination and is very crafty she could probably make a lot of our decorations!

    Future in-laws! My FH's mom would be so involved if she were still alive, I'd have let her plan everything if I could. His dad is being wonderfully helpful with every aspect of planning too

    My parents for sure. Love my in-laws, buuut they've already been way too judgey and opinionated about every decision we make, wedding related or not. My mom and dad are like my best friends and I trust their decisions and them in general more.

    PARENTS! My mom knows my vision and though I love my future mother in law her style is more blingy to my minimalist style.

    Definitely my mom. She knows exactly what I like and don't like, and we're like the same person in many ways so I know she wouldn't do me wrong.

    Definitely my parents because I firmly believe that if my FMIL has it her way, nothing would be how I wanted it. She’d probably do everything I hate just to upset me. I’m convinced she doesn’t like me as much as she says she does.

    I feel like my parents would not do anything too bizarre and would keep my opinions n input in mind. My in-laws who knows?! Unlesss you know them really well I wouldn’t hand over the reins. Perhaps give them one piece of the planning. Like you all can plan my engagement party or you all can plan my bridal shower!

    If they were paying as well as planning, then definitely my In-laws (it would be extravagant)... If we were paying and they were just planning, then I would choose my family.
