    My husband didn’t really want to do much of anything unless I specifically asked him to do something. I think it’s a guy thing for most. He really wanted me to do whatever I wanted.

    Not too much. I ask him his opinion on everything because i want him included and i want him to feel like he has a say... even when sometimes he doesn't LOL. But the few things he does have an opinion on I really let him pink. Like between Mauve and pink (for some reason he really cared about that haha ) and the flavor of the wedding cake. Smiley smile

    He was involved with the big decisions of hiring vendors, picking the menu, choosing cake design, etc. He didn't care about things like centerpieces and linen colors.

    I would ask FH for his opinion on most things and then instead of giving me a one word answer like most, he actually provided reasoning on why or why he didn't like something. That was nice. He was also a bit hands on when it came to our wedding stationery. He's a graphic designer so when I had issues on layout, he came to the rescue.

    Yes! So far my fiancé gathered addresses for his friends and family, selected the venue, our colors AND engagement photo location. He says I can never tell him that he wasn't involved. He'll also be very involved in his and his best man's attire, food selection and cake flavors.

    Most men do not care to be involved. My FH is just in charge of picking the dj and photographer, and he had some in put on the food. Everything else is up to me, which i don’t mind some i am a little type a with planning and organizing

    Oh my god. He was pickier about our invitations than I was, but it was kind of cute because he's clearly excited and wants things to be right. We also had a discussion on music, which he is handling, and he went with me to pick out the venue and the catering and the florist and the cake.

    He’s involved... but only if I involve him lol I’m sure he would be completely content for me to pick/plan everything & him just show up. But he also listens and expresses interest and gives input on every thing I show him/ask him about

    My fiancé is pretty involved! He’s super excited about finding the perfect outfits for him and his groomsmen and is also excited for the food and cake tasting. As for the smaller details such as decor and flowers, that’s more my part.

    He doesn't care but he wants his opinion lol. Good forbid I chose something without his opinion. He cares about budget.

    Mine just randomly bought favors for the wedding tonight. He normally doesn't seem too interested but I think he is excited on the down low. Haha

    My FH is the same way. If I ask for help, he'll help. Otherwise he would prefer I take the reigns.

    He met with almost all of our vendors with me and chose his and the groomsmen's attire. Aside from that, he's just been there for moral support Smiley smile

    My FH always says he doesn't care and just wants to marry me. But I still include him with everything and want his opinion. I went to book our florist by myself because he had work, told him about it afterwards and all he said was whatever you want. The only stuff he was involved with really was the food/cake tasting, venue picking, and when we go pick out his suit/tux.

    I made it clear to DH that if he didn't help, the wedding wasn't happening.

    There are two of us in this relationship, and there were two of us getting married.

    He didn't have to care about every little thing - but he needed to be involved. He agreed, and though sometimes I actually wanted to throw the planning book at him (because of his indecisiveness or his "I don't know what to do" - WITH THE BOOK RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM)... he helped a whole lot and it saved my sanity.

    My FH really wanted to be a part of picking the songs out for the ceremony/reception, but that was pretty much it. I did always ask him for his opinion on things before I would book or buy something, though! I've happily planned the entire wedding almost alone. My mom has been the one to "okay" everything, though, as my parents are paying for almost all of the wedding, and I wanted her to approve the costs.
