    I'm doing all the research and coming up with most of the ideas, but he has ideas too and all decisions are made together so it's not just me choosing everything

    I did 100% of the planning. The few jobs I did give him I eventually just did myself.

    I'm going to say I definitely did more, but in like a 60%/40% split. I'm including the honeymoon planning in that because he's taking care of that completely (with input from me, but all actual planning is his). I did more research and we've split a lot of the bigger things. I am taking point on anything more crafty or artistic (like designing our invitations) because he'll be the first to admit not being artsy.

    Unfortunately me. I’d say 80% me, 20% him so far. He’s helped book a few things but other than that not much else. Ironically he’s the one wanting the big wedding (around 120ppl), I wanted to elope or have a very small celebration with just family. He wants to try and help but is a ‘leave things until the last minute even when his bride reminds him too many times’ kind of guy and my anxiety and stress level can’t handle that. I think it’s just a man thing. Good luck! I’m counting down the days (less than 100) until this thing is over and done with! He’s lucky I love him so haha I think I didn’t realize how stressful and ridiculous the process would be and by the time I did it was too late to turn back and plan something smaller (deposits/ save the dates, etc.)

    If it isn't exactly 50/50, I would say it's about 60% me and 40% him! We're pretty committed on our wedding day to be a day that reflects both of us, not just my own or his own tastes. I've been doing a lot of the actual planning in terms of emailing out potential vendors, doing a lot of the actual research on venues and vendors, etc., but nothing is done without both of our OKs! I enjoy the research part and organization part of the wedding planning so I show him what I find and we look over it and think over things together.

    Most definitely me! I ask for him input and get the "whatever will make you happy" answer. Happy wife, happy life?

    Me! I did at least 80% of the planning. My husband isn't great at organizing

    Me! He hasn't really had the time. He's also not much of a planner or organizer - that's my thing

    I've done most of the 'figuring out how much everything costs beforehand' and we decide together, it's probably 60% 40% for me

    Absolutely me. He definitely contributed to wedding planning, but I would present him with 3 options and have him pick from those.

    I did. He had some ideas but for the most part I gave him the options after having done all of the research.

    Definitely me!

    It was tough to find a balance between asking for opinions and advice on the right things. Sometimes he would feel I wasn't asking his opinion on stuff, or including him on things that I didn't think were of importance to him. Then, when I thought it was safe to bring up something he would say he didn't really have an opinion on the matter and I could just pick. Oh boys..

    Me for sure. I'm very Type A so I'm happy to do all the researching and planning and just tell him if we have to meet with or pay anyone lol. He did contribute to the big decisions but from here on in it'll be mostly me.

    Me! But we discussed this beforehand and he said that he just wasn't interested in ALL the details but would be happy to answer questions I had or if I needed his opinion. I am an event planner at heart so I don't mind Smiley laugh

    100% me. He is not really the planning type. Every decision goes through him before it is final. He just cares about the food and the cake, so he is making those decisions!

    Definitely me. It comes down to him not caring much about the little details and me caring way too much. It's also because I'm a panicker so I just jump on tasks early. he has a final say in everything but I do most to all of the research and prep work.

    I was the same as Tori with the research and putting the vendor team together. My husband paid for a few things at the end with his thoughts input.

    My parents did help and gift us the centerpieces with floral ball rental (he paid for) as he gave some input and found a money box that was beautiful too from the same place. Also, they bought my wedding outfit too when they travelled to India.

    He had a say in all of the big things - but I was the one who did the research and reached out to the vendors.
