He is a pain in the A$% he doesn't offer any advice and when I bring invites for his opinion he doesn't like anything. I tell him then HE should look and bring it to me for my opinion. I will not be holding my breath. My MOH is paying for them, however I don't want them to be overly expensive because, by the time of the wedding NO ONE knows where the invite is. FH picks one that is like 120 per 100 and he thinks that that is all I explained that u still need the envelopes, etc. I will leave it up to him and I guess I will be sending invites on bounty paper towels. He gets on my nerves sometimes.

Re: FH is a pain in the A$#! anyone else?
Don't get too upset. A lot of FH's, including mine, are not into all the details and don't get as excited as we do. My suggestion, pick like five that you really like and then put them in front of him and tell him to pick his favorite out of those five. Don't give him too wide a range to look at, it will only drive you crazy!! Good Luck!!

Re: FH is a pain in the A$#! anyone else?
Mine is a pain in the A$$ is well. Esp. today.. hes complaing why im always on here and why I do wedding stuff every day why cant I only work on it a few days a week ( cuz its addicting duh!!) Anyway about the espensive invitations, why dont you tell your MOH they are half the price that they really are and you guys pay the other half.. if thats what you really want. You have a great MOH by the way.. no one has offered us a penny for anything in the year weve been engaged and planning this wedding!

Re: FH is a pain in the A$#! anyone else?
MY FH went in the complete other direction--he was way too involved and opinionated when it came to invites. We paid way too much for them!! But, they were what he wanted.

Re: FH is a pain in the A$#! anyone else?
My FH is totally uninvolved, he hasn't been much of a help and it's driving me crazy! He really only has one main responsibility, to plan the honeymoon, or at least get some info, but he hasn't even managed to do that! I've put pamphlets and everything in his hands and he looks at them and doesn't do anything. This is something he said he wanted to do to help me and I'm still doing all the legwork.

Re: FH is a pain in the A$#! anyone else?
I can't say I've had that problem. FH is very caring and involved about the whole thing. We don't always see eye to eye on every detail, but that's what compromise is about !!!

Re: FH is a pain in the A$#! anyone else?
well I have tried to give ideas/ I liked the STD magnets and he was like NO. Then when we said just the STD cards the ones I liked he was like NO. So I compromised and got what he wanted. The color ink in the sample was purple, I said lets change it to wine because my colors are champagne and wine he was like WhY? I changed the color anyway. He is just annoying. If the shoe was on the other foot he wouldn't want someone bringing some outrageous price to him, even if it is a gift.

Re: FH is a pain in the A$#! anyone else?
Sorry - I guess I lucked out... FH and I have planned everything together and we have agreed on almost everything. The whole process is going surprisingly smooth - although if anyone asks him, he won't admit to it - makes him feel like less of a man to enjoy planning a wedding!

Ditto! Ironically he is giving me a hard time with the invites, like Aug2104. He feels they are a waste of money because everyone throws them out anyway! UGH!!
...Aug 21 2004..what are you guys doing for your honeymoon? We are going on a cruise wouldn't it be funny if we went to the same place!?!?! My wedding date is 8/22/04
I feel for you, no comment about my FH's helpfulness.

Re: FH is a pain in the A$#! anyone else?
Bride2B93 we are going on a cruise as well I think that there are 2 ships that leave on the 22 at night and one on the 23. I think it is with princess cruises. I have never been on a cruise so it should be interested. Well ladies after a small argument HE finally helped to pick one and we are in agreeance.It is the one with the double hearts at the top.

Re: FH is a pain in the A$#! anyone else?
My FH has been a pain the A** lately! He is somewhat involved but rarely. I wanted to include him in on a lot of decisions. As for the invites, I chose 10 and shared them with him. He chose 1 of the 10.MY FH asked 'why do the invites have to look so plain looking....how about Royal Blue or Green?' He has got to be kidding? (don't get me wrong I love the solid invites that are out there but the invite he was considering at looked like a party invitation)
As for the bridal party gifts...he says ' Why do we have to buy gifts for them?' Scary, some of the things that come out of his mouth. I would love to see how a wedding would turn out if a man planned it. And I am not talking about the Fab 5......just an ordinary JOe planning a wedding.
Then he is pissing me off b/c FH is in the process of opening his business with other business partners and I feel like he is much more compassionate about that then our wedding plans.
Advice: same as the other bride....stop asking questions and just do what you want. But, you may want to include him on the main decisions....like the Cake. LOL

Honeslty, one of my friends let her husband plan theirs, and you could tell. No flowers in thw church, etc. It was fine, but no little details.
