Definitely my FI. I am usually able to narrow things down to a few choices, but can't go from there. He steps in and makes the final decision. He's also awesome at calling people for their addresses.

My fiance.

I crown him king of the wedding world.

His taste is impecable, he has the vision- which I don't see until he illustrates it for me, he is a master deal maker/ negotiator, and he actually can make a decision that I'm happy with - and I'm indecisive ... cannot make a decision to save my life.

I have to say my Mommy. She is definitely my #1 helper and has even sacrificed her finger tips in the name of DIY Who has been your biggest planning helper? : wedding Icon Razz . BTW - they are healing.

My next helper would be my best friend whom I recruited to be my wedding planner / DOC for the wedding. She has given me so many ideas and helped put my vision together. She's a trooper.

I am sad to say that I have had zero help from my sister, the MOH. It is disappointing but not really surprising. Oh well!

FI and I are planning together...I make decisions faster than he does so I usually do the reseach and then present three options and we go from there. But really, one of my BMs has gone above and beyond the call of duty from the second we were engaged.

My mom and older sister. Definately. My fiance has been supportive, but stays out of the way most the time. Which is probably best. :)

I'd have to say my biggest help is the on-line wedding community. I have had so much inspiration from weddingbee, project wedding, and wedding bloggers! Unfortunately, my FI is not much help... he is VERY encouraging of everything I do, but other than that, not so much! I am still waiting for addresses for a list of people I gave him months ago!

My sister and my mom were the best helpers a girl could ask for. I was so swamped with everything, but they helped with almost every aspect of the planning.

Yeah, Weddingbee.

My family and FI live far far away. Our wedding is my baby essentially, lol. My BM's did my invites and my mom finished my programs for me though!

Like sparkle, I did most of the research and presented the options to FI. My mom has also been a great source of help and she's really good company. I feel lucky to have their support.

Def Weddingbee!! :) My mom or FI havn't really helped in the process, their role has really only been to sit there and listen to my ideas haha! Both my mom & FI know I have great taste, so the planning is totally in my hands & I love it! Planning our wedding has been SO fun!!!

most definitely my Mom has helped me out the most. I always bounce my ideas off of her. My FH isn't really that interested in all the little details, but I think he's starting to get more interested as the date is getting closer.
