my fh has one older sister she is married and her parents helped with the wedding (my fils)...
now we got engaged in december and we have a house... so this wedding has really been a struggle.... my mom who has NO money... is working her butt off and is paying for our e-party, my dress, invitations and shower....
when i spoke to my fsil, she said that her parents (Fh's parents) will definately help out....
however, i find it odd that neither of them have said anything to us!!! his parents are divorced and both are remarried!!
do you think this is weird? am i overreacting? should we ask for help?

Re: AWKWARD QUESTION....
have HIM ask for help....I would definitely feel awkward asking anyone (other than my parents) for financial help.
They might be in the mindset though that the brides parents pay for the wedding.

Re: AWKWARD QUESTION....
I don't think there's anything wrong with FH asking his family if they are going to contribute funds to the wedding. The worst thing they can say is no, but they could say yes. It'll make planning a lot easier knowing one way or the other.

Re: AWKWARD QUESTION....
I am in a very similar situation my parents sat us down and told us they will help out as much as possible, (my mom is buying my dress) FH's family has not offered anything they are divorced also but neither have offered not one thing!!! It is very frustrating but I guess we cant expect them to help if they cant

Re: AWKWARD QUESTION....
I would have FH ask his parents for help...leave all matters in the family so to speak. But maybe they are not offering directly because they don't want to step on your moms shoes and make her feel bad.

Re: AWKWARD QUESTION....
I would have your FH ask his family if they plan on helping the wedding, don't assume on anything
I had a similar situation in the beginning of my planning as my FILS paid for both FH's brother and sisters weddings and for ours they are not helping with any of the costs, its all on us and my mom is helping with the little things that she can help with

I would make your FH ask his parents about the money... Thats how we did it. Its just easier.

Re: AWKWARD QUESTION....
HE needs to ask his own parents to help..... adn there is nothing wrong with asking for help....but some people act sooo funny
He didnt have to ask his parents tho...they asked me how much certain things would cost and they offered to pay

Re: AWKWARD QUESTION....
I'm lucky enough that my parents and grandparents are really helping out with everything... FH's mom has passed away and his father is much older and has told us that he will not be contributing to the wedding...\
but it cannot hurt to ask !!
