Hey there! So my fiance and I will be getting married this October but my parents are very wishy washy about the wedding planning. They keep sending us very mixed messages on what they feel about our wedding. They are paying for the majority of the wedding expenses so we value their opinion and take to heart what they say, but they will tell us that they want to cut costs, which is fine, but then when we bring the cost cutting plan (for example using a caterer that doesn't provide staff, or using plastic plates and utensils instead of renting) they don't approve and would rather just pay the price for the full service caterer and rent the dinnerware from a rental facility. This has been causing major stress on both me and my husband to be. We have tried to discuss this with them and express our feelings by telling them that it feels as though they are sending mixed messages and it is making it very difficult to not feel guilty about the decisions we make, but it seems to fall of deaf ears especially because my parent think it is a waste of money to have a wedding in the first place, but also don't want to look cheap.
Any advice??
