3 Simple Ways to Get Your Fiance Involved in the Wedding Planning
"Babe, put down the Call of Duty and Come Look at These Invitations!" It's an age old problem, you do all the work and your fiancé just wants to show up to the party.
You beg and you plead with him to get involved but all he wants to do is play video games.
The thing is we must understand that women and men will never think alike when it comes to wedding planning.
Some men will refuse but some might be somewhat open if you just make things a little bit easier.
If he does seem open and you want to get your fiancé involved, here are some tips that will help: *Time Management: One of the big factors to why men don't want to get involved in the planning is because they see you obsessing over it 24/7.
They think that if they get involved they will also have to be obsessed with it 24/7 and that's just not true.
Schedule a set time to go over wedding details.
Agree on 2-3 hours a week so that he knows it's coming and he doesn't feel like it takes up too much time.
*Reward him: This is simple as pie.
For every time he does take care of wedding stuff, offer him something that is not wedding related.
For example, if he goes to meet with wedding vendors with you, you will host a football party for his friends.
Or perhaps just offering one full day of no wedding talk will suffice.
*Let him make final decisions: Gasp! This may seem drastic but sometimes you can't choose between two wedding invitations and you need to make a decision.
Who better than to make that decision than your fiancé? You might be over thinking a minor detail like white or ivory while he will just chose one and not dwell over it.
In the long run this is a much bigger help because then you can move on to the next project.
So if your little heart is really set on getting your fiancé involved, try 1 or all of these things.
Just remember, don't force it.
If he rolls his eyes when you say "Just give me 2-3 hours a week," then you might just consider moving forward on your own.
And finally, be nice about it! Don't nag or complain.
That's just going to get you the "most annoying fiancé" title.
Happy Planning.
