    This ball hasn't really started rolling yet, but I think it will be friends. More from proximity than anything. The friends that have offered to help live here in the same city as me. Closest family members live a little over an hour outside the city.

    I'm sure once the DIY projects start my MPH will be there to help me out. I've pretty much figured out what I want and how the best way to get it will be by looking on Pinterest. My mom is going to be super helpful since she is going to help me with cake and cupcakes and said she'll come to wedding shows and dress shops with me. The FH likes to be included in the plans and is helpful too.

    So far it's been me and my FH but we really haven't started doing anything yet, just getting our ducks lined up, things are booked but once October comes then we'll be in the thick of it.

    No one really helped but I also didn't ask anyone to. I was perfectly ok with doing things on my own.

    A bit of both tbh. Everyone has been a good ear to lean on.

    My one sister who is my maid of honour is really helpful anything I ask for she does and she also pushes her way in as well when she knows I need help but won't ask.

    My fiancé & I are doing the planning pretty much 50/50, but my MoH has been an absolute godsend with keeping me sane throughout the process.

    Most of my friends and all of my family except for my brother live across the country from me. So, I've done 95% of the work myself (my FH is swamped at work and it's not really his thing anyways... and I'm slightly controlling). But it has hands down been my Mom that's helped the most. Even though she's across the country I consult with her regularly (maybe too much sometimes!) and she's been really helpful in the decision making process and planning/logistics. I'd say one of my bridesmaids who has been in a few weddings has been quite helpful too.

    I've done quite a bit, but my mom and some of our family friends have been the most helpful! Bridal party has helped out where they can, but I'm not making them drop their lives for my wedding lol

    No one has really helped us plan, we've done that ourselves. My mom has helped with getting prizes for our Jack and Jill and organizing what supplies we need for it. My best friend (MOH) has been the one who has helped me with my sanity the most lol.

    I’ve done most of the planning but family definitely ask the most about how it’s going and if I need any help.

    My sister and my step mom for sure. My sister got married a couple years ago so she’s been super helpful.

    I've done everything myself. My friends and family are all scattered across the world, so there is only so much they can do. Opinions - on everything, but no support. Even from the family that live where we are getting married.

    My Mom. She has always been my go-to person when it comes to planning. She has helped me so much with the wedding in terms of planning and DIYs. Both of my parents have also been an invaluable support financially. This wedding would be a lot more budget friendly without them.

    I’ve done the majority myself.
    From there i’d Have to say my bridesmaid (lol not the MOH she has done nothing) and my day of coordinator.
    Really should’nt have picked my sister as MOH retrospectively but oh well all is not lost.

    I have pretty much done a lot myself. My sister and step mom have been amazing in the planning, and being there for any crazy family drama rants

    I have been solo here, people have no issue with giving opinions yes but actually showing up to help with things- its just been me and my fh. My one MOH has helped at events but no one has really offered to help when need it.
