Planning alone

Planning alone

Im getting married in september and i feel like im doing all the planning and comming up with ideas by myself, my MOH is my sister and she just says yes to everything. My parents wont tell me what the budget is and that makes it even more frustrating....I want to scream

Re: Planning alone

I did all my planning alone, too. I used LIW and other internet sources to do all my research. You can do it !!!!!

Re: Planning alone

I have my parents helping me, luckily, well, my mom really. My FH wont give me an answer on anything, he just keeps telling me whatever i want to do is fine, no input, so I just keep doing what i want

Re: Planning alone

i did most of the planning myself, too... my mom just isn't into the whole wedding thing ( her and my dad just eloped) so she didn't help much, and my sister is younger and in college, so she didn't care much either..... and of course, like all guys, DH just told me to do what i wanted
so, you can do it!! its possible! thats why sites like this exist- you hvae people who will listen to you talk about the wedding and stress over the tiny detals...
i do have to say though, you need to talk to you parents to find out how much they are giving you, if any at all... so that you know how much you and FI need to come up with on your own- i would definitely talk to them about that soon before you do too much planning....

Re: Planning alone

same problem here, but honestly all the girls on this site have provided me with such invaluable advice that I felt like i had a whole army helping me plan! Definitely use these boards as much as possible, everyone is so nice and helpful, I would have never been able to plan this wedding in 8 mos. without them!

Re: Planning alone

if it makes you feel any better...I LOVE CAPE MAY...have been there a ton of times...was def. my first pic for a wedding...just wasn't ideal for our family members...transportation etc...looking back now i wish i did...if you have any questions about places there, feel free to send me an fm!!

Re: Planning alone

I hear you as well!!my parents moved to Las Vegas last year...so i am doing most of the planning myself......FH doesnt really care about the wedding details....and I dont have a MOH....i actually chose my brother as a MAn of Honor.....i do have severaly bridesmaids but they are prob sick of me talking about the wedding which is like 15 months away....thats why i come to liweddings.com for advice and support...


I am here if u need me...and so are all the other girls!!!

Re: Planning alone

I hear ya! everyone tries to help but doesn't know exactly what to do- We'll just keep chugging through it all... everyone on the site seems really great when it comes to advice and stuff though.

Re: Planning alone

I did all of my planning alone. I mean I would come up with the ideas, vendor suggestions, etc and then FH would input what he thought. But I always take the initiative with the planning. My sister is also my MOH and she is graduating from college in May so I don't really want to bug her with the wedding stuff b/c I want her studying for finals. But I never consider myself alone...I have all the LIW girls to help me too!!!

Re: Planning alone

My FH pretty much agrees with everything I want, and my parents are doing what they can. Hopefully I can pull this off!!!

Re: Planning alone

Maybe your better off doing it on your own, Sometimes its better if noone gets involved.

Re: Planning alone

I think the grass is always greener -there is definatly toooo much help on my side, and it can really make deciding on anything nearly impossible. With that said, I think the best help you can find is right here on LIW!
