YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOW THAT HE WOULD BE NO HELP!!! Im getting married in april and I knew my fiance wouldn’t be much help, so I gave him TWO things that I"m sure he could accomplish.
1. Get a touch to wear (cuz he likes to look excellent)
2. Hand me the cash, I’ll handle the rest.
Our wedding is going to be very simple and intimate. A best man and maid of honor, no groomsmen, no brides maids. Just a simple ceremony, food, cake champagne. Still the preparation is stressful, but i would have more stress wondering if he got this and that done.
That just means that you can do it your way without any line of reasoning from him! I know it would be nice to have him more caught up, but lets face it some guys are just not into the small details.
If its really bothering you, talk to him and try to get him caught up in 1 or 2 things. Have him choose what he will be in charge of- for example, choosing his tuxedo, choosing the music for the first dance, choosing the dessert (it doesnt have to be a habitual cake, it could be a favorite dessert of the bride or groom). These are just examples.
Tell me about it!!! Every time I question my fiance for an opinion on a touch he just says ‘whatever you want’ … I want an opinion! lol.
I finished up just giving my fiance a list of small things that would take some of the tasks off me.. I gave him all the info for the rehearsal dinner and left it up to him to set up everything with the caterers. I also left the budgeting up to him .. he is the keeper of receipts and deposit balances and making sure I don’t miss a touch.. it helps immensely!
Honestly I know it seems stressful to some brides but for me its not.
You just need to get yourself a huge binder and a lot of organization. Have tabbed sections for each aspect of your wedding. You can have a plastic holder for your thoughts and a page for receipts, etc. In the front of the binder glue down a very exact checklist of everything you reckon of. Write down a paid column so you can keep track of what you have what you need to pay for. Its really not too hard just remember to breath!
Preparation a wedding is stressful because it is vital and doubtless the largest party you will ever have, and its more like a show then a party, and you don’t do it often.
So having said that, it is simpler on guys because they just have to dress and show up.
Still, talk to him, question his opinion if you need it, question for help if you need it, but depend on your bridesmaid for most of it.
Congrats, excellent luck and delight in.

Hi,
Obviously I cannot comment on your particular situation but
I hired a professional wedding planner to plot and manage my wedding.
She was excellent to work with and I was pleased.
But after I read this guide I really felt that I paid too much for my wedding planner.
This guide contains everything I needed to know to plot my wedding from start to close.
