6 Ways To Involve Your Parents In Wedding Planning

Seeing someone you love getting married fills your heart with warmth and emotions. If you feel like that during your best friend’s wedding, imagine how any parent feels seeing their child on their wedding day. That’s why anyone who’s getting married should include their parents in wedding planning. The entire process is a complex feat, and you could use help from people you trust the most. By giving your parents a few tasks do deal with, you’ll also ensure some privacy to deal with other important wedding tasks. They won’t get a chance to meddle because they’ll be too preoccupied with doing the tasks from out list.

The wedding attire selection

Even if you’ve dreamed about your wedding day your entire life, you’ll find that trying to find that perfect attire is boring and stressful. It sounds like fun at first, but if you’re looking for a dress with an X factor you’ll need all the emotional support you can get. The same can be applied to grooms, especially those guys who’ve never worn a suit before. They’ll need the help of their fathers who know how to pick a suit, properly tie a tie, and color coordinate the essentials. Invite your moms to join you on your pursuit of that perfect dress. Guys should bring their dads along as well, for support and expert knowledge.

Something old, something new, borrowed and blue

It is believed that brides should wear something that has the qualities of being old, new, borrowed, and blue on their wedding day. It is said and believed that this will bring good luck. Both your mom and your mother-in-law can help you with this so ask them for help. This will save you all the trouble and they will also have something to keep them busy with.

Bring them along to cake tasting

When you have to try too many different cake flavors, why not turn it into a family gathering. This way you’ll eat less sugar which is important if you’re maintaining your figure before the big day. On the other hand, having someone contribute their opinion on something as important as the wedding cake will make your choice easier. Even if you know that you’ll choose a cake regardless of anybody’s opinion, having them present will make the entire tasting festive. Call your parents and let them know you’ll meet them at the patisserie.

Let them take responsibility for an important project

Each and every wedding task is as important as the next one. But, delegating tasks to both of your parents will give you time to focus on those you prioritize over others. Of course, you will have a final say in every decision, but that doesn’t mean your parents can do the research for you. If you do trust your parent’s opinion and want to give them an important project, let them handle wedding car transportation. If you make it clear what type of car you wish to have at your wedding, they will find just the right type. You can never go wrong with luxury wedding cars as these turn every wedding into a real-time fairytale. Give your parents a hint and they surely won’t disappoint you.

They should get a say in the seating chart

Nobody knows the family-like both of your parents. Pairing distant family members at the same table might be a recipe for disaster. So, you should invite your parents to contribute to your seating chart. Once you finish your first draft, forward your seating chart to your parents and ask their opinion. If they have some better suggestions regarding your family members and other guests, let them have a say in this. Also, ask them directly who they want to sit at the same table. Let them choose people who they feel comfortable with and close to.

Let them handle the invitations

If your parents are especially good at handling any aspect of communication, you can let them handle the invitations. You get to choose the design, but addressing the invitations, posting them, and managing RSVPs is something they can do in your name. You can prepare everything in advance and delegate this task to them.

All of these six tasks are of high importance and you can ask your parents to help you with handling them. You’ll have more on your plate and if you invite people to help you, the entire wedding process will be easier and stress-free. Your parents will handle these tasks with pride and genuine commitment.
