Who does what?

Hello, how did you and your partner divide the wedding planning tasks? And how much input should we take from our parents?? Drawing the line is so hard!!

    Depends on the partner. How much they want to be involved or rather you handle it. For me it’s 95 for me and 5 percent for him. We talk with our parents but they don’t have much say

    Honestly am doing most of it myself, my parents have given their input but its all been my final decision, FH helped pick location and will pick his own attire, but the rest hes left to me, which I prefer

    Try and do as much together as you can (I've done about 75% alone). I agree though, if you don't think you need a lot of help, only get it when you ask for it otherwise the opinions get very very overwhelming (in my case anyways). try and set specific roles for your wedding party up front that way everyone knows what they need to help with.

    We plan everything together. Our parents aren't brought in until we want an outsiders opinion. Otherwise, we sit down every few nights and plan out all little details together. It's supposed to be about the two of you. Not anybody else.

    My FH and I did the majority of the planning together. The only things I'm taking care of by myself are the flowers and invitations because he thinks I'll do a better job picking stuff out lol. Of course I still ask him for his opinion though. As for parents it's tough. We have been lucky for the most part as our parents haven't been overly involved or had much of an opinion. His dad has been a little tough to deal with but that's about it. If they wanted to contribute to the wedding and help out we told them what we would appreciate help with.Basically just deposits like for the DJ or photographer. The less people get monetarily involved the better as that way you don't have to feel you owe them anything tbh. You kind of have to stick to your guns and do what you prefer as it's your special day!

    If I want input I ask for it. So my MOH has a floristry diploma (she doesn't have a shop or I would get her to do my flowers) do I have asked her for a lot of input on my florist choice, my other bridesmaid is my sister in law and she does wedding cakes (she lives 7 hours away so her doing my cake wasn't a viable option) so I have asked her opinion about the cake artists. I have asked my mom for a lot of input as well as my fiance. I have been making a lot of the final decisions but I have also gotten as much help as I have asked for. Smiley smile Smiley heart

    I kicked all parents out as we didn't need their money, so they had no say in anything lol it was easier for me. I wanted everything to be my way and my style, so I would try to find everything myself first. If I couldn't make a decision or find it, i asked my fiancé to do it. He picked the venue were getting married at which was the biggest part.. he picked the florist and the flower girls dress. My bridesmaid picked their dresses and accessories. It's working out.
