Would you rather... hand over complete planning control to your parents or your future in-laws?

Between you and your fiancé(e), there’s probably one set of your parents that you’d trust more to take the lead on your wedding planning! Whether they throw better backyard barbeques or simply know how to entertain a large crowd... Would you rather... hand over complete planning control to your...

Would you rather... hand over complete planning control to your parents or your future in-laws?

Next question: Would you rather... have a dress that looks amazing in person but so-so in pictures or vice versa?

    That's awesome! It's nice to have a similar taste in weddings as your parents! Are they currently involved in the planning process? Smiley smile

    Hi Kelsey Brielle! Is your mom involved in the planning process? Do you have similar style preferences?

    No she is not necessarily involved, even though she did offer to pay for either the DJ or florist, and we DO NOT have the same taste in styling but my in laws are worse. My FH sister just got married and they did not have ANY decorations in the ceremony space and barely any during the reception. At least with my mom if I told her what I wanted she would follow though with it.

    I’m not sure if I could hand over the reins to anyone but I have been very open minded and asked them for their input on many different things. It’s been a little complicated for us when it comes to family though. I have my mom and dad, but he has mom, stepdad, stepmom, and dad. Stepmom isn’t girly or crafty, she’s pretty quiet but I have tried to include her since they’re close. His mom is crafty but in a different way..she’s a little more superstitious about some things that none of the rest of us think about. My mom is very crafty but we have different “visions” when it comes to how we should do things. Everyone is still supportive of each other for the most part so that has made things earlier. There have been times where I’ve had to put my foot down and remind everyone that this is our day not their day so my other half and I have the final say. *that only happens every now and again though 😉

    My in-laws! My mother in law has taste really close to mine, and so does my sister in law! My mom's version of a wedding and mine are just different, but my mother in law's version more aligns with mine! I'm thankful to have in-laws who understand me & I get along with so well!

    I'd want to cheat and have MOG and my MOM do it. My father comes from matriarchal peoples, and would have asked it be more fancy and near all my family. Though I now get on well with FOG, having children changed all terms, initially I disliked him, and he was opposed to his son marrying me, not Catholic, not their ethnic group, a woman who worked... And mothers though different backgrounds in every way, sisters under the skin. Very focused on seeing we got what we wanted with no interference from anybody when we planned. If they had planned, it might have been a different location, but exactly what we wanted. Since my first husband's parents were a nightmare of interference when not paying or planning, 2nd time round I felt so lucky.

    Even though my mom is super flight and has questionable taste, I'd rather she and my dad do ANYTHING in comparison to his parents. His mom isn't invited and I'm not sure his dad even knows our wedding date, even though he lives with my fiance. His entire family has shown 0 interest in it. Trying not to take it personally as that's just the way they are, but sheesh!
