How much does his opinion matter to you?

I’ve been very insistent about my fiancé participating in the planning of the wedding. His opinion matters, it’s both of our day! But I’ve tired him out where he’s kinda done. I feel little bad making decisions about the save the dates and invitations alone, since he’s lost interest🤷🏽‍♀️

    When we first started planning I asked my FH what he wanted a say in: food and music. Since then I would make decisions and run them by him so he was in the loop. So far he's been okay with everything I've picked from invitations, to décor, to attire. He knows that design is not his strong suit and let me take care of those details.

    He's come with me to tastings and had a blast. We're currently working on our playlists and has requested a few songs. Granted I may not like some of them, but it was part of our compromise.

    You still have some time, take a couple of weeks to pause on planning and have some fun. Guys can be like that, they get overwhelmed and shut down. He's not doing it to hurt you; he's just being a guy haha.

    What has helped me tremendously is to do all the research and find things I like. Then, I present my options to my FH and he tells me what options he likes. From there I make my decision from his answer. He will feel that he contributed by telling me what he likes from the options I chose. Men are not into details like women and even if this is our wedding, I know my FH does not care what I choose. The only thing I really have discussed with my fiance is the budget for each vendor. It doesn't hurt to communicate if you feel like he is not putting importance.

    Here's the sad truth -- most guys just aren't that into the fine details of wedding planning. And that's okay! My hubby-to-be is very aware that I make a thousand micro-decisions for every one big decision I ask his opinion on. A good idea might be to make a bi-weekly "wedding date" where you and your partner go over any new ideas or decisions that you have to make about the wedding. Also be aware that although they may seem to have "no opinion", they might actually be keeping it to themselves in fear of disappointing or stressing you out with conflictions. Encourage them to participate in everything that you want them involved in. This is a stressful time for couples but if you each make an effort to make things lighthearted then it can be so much fun!
