Is it FIL's job to plan the RD?

I am afraid FMIL is going to wait till the last minute!

Do I pick the place or let them do it?? (They are paying)

ETA: I almost forgot...TIA!

She told me to just send her the bill. I picked the place and negotiated with them.

Traditionally, yes, the ILs are to host the RD, however, things has changed quite a bit and I know many Brides and Grooms who hosted their own. Did you speak to them about it, or have they mentioned anything to you?

I would definately find out their plans. I decided on everything and my parents paid. My ILs helped with the wedding.

My MIL paid but was too busy with work to plan it. So I picked the place, mailed out invites with her return address and she paid for it. In the end, she was very happy and handled the flowers and favors for the RD herself last minute.

I think it is something that needs to be figured out. My FIL's are not able to afford the RD for us... so we are planning and paying for it ourselves.

My FIL offered to pay for the RD. We just left it up to them. They asked for a few suggestions on places and then checked them out and booked it on their own. Honestly, I'm happy to not have to plan another thing!

They should either plan it with you or give a $ range and let you do it.

My FILs are going to be paying for our RD, but they want to have it at a place they go (& FH and I sometimes go) every weekend. The problem is we dont really want it there because it would be nice to actually go somewhere else.....We still have some time so I am not gonna get my self stressed YET!!

how do you bring up this topic to FIL's that have not offered to pay or help with anything? FH & I are paying for it ALL..my mom is helping as much as she can but it's still no dent! Would you even bother?
