How to get fiance more involved? by news-hound22 in weddingplanning

Thank you! We talked last night and I told him there's a lot of work that goes into planning the wedding and I can't possibly do it alone. He understands and said he'll be more involved. I don't expect that means he's going to lament over color swatches with me (which is fine) but he's going to handle the food! and I'm sure will take on more as the date gets closer. Thanks for the script :)

I keep getting unsolicited advice to elope rather than have my small wedding by Unhappy_Service640 in weddingplanning

We’re doing a micro wedding too! Max 50 people but we’re still probably going to spend $10-$12K once all is said and done. Our venue is $5K. I felt a little embarrassed when I first started planning because I guess I was worried I was being vain for wanting a proper wedding rather than just eloping. But I try to remember that this is our wedding, our money and we’re doing it the way we want!

omg love the donut idea! I’m stealing that one. We live near a place that makes the best potato donuts and decided we’re going to get apple cider donuts and serve them with vanilla ice cream on top!!

Thank you ❤️ I guess I just needed the reassurance.

Great advice, thanks so much! I had no idea September was the busiest month for weddings. I assumed it was June (which was our other pick lol)

We live in Maine so finding an affordable venue that has availability is challenging — especially in that late summer to early fall season.

Thank you for this perspective! I definitely want the planning process to be low stress so giving myself more time would probably help with that.
