Gifts are only gifts if they are given without clauses, otherwise they are manipulation

I was so lucky that my parents paid for mine but they let us decide everything. On the other hand my FIL said he’d pay for pictures but we had use someone he chose so we said no thanks and we paid for it ourselves

i had a conversation with my mom because my parents payed for my wedding. i told her “yes, you’ve done this before. and this is a party you’re throwing. but you’re throwing it FOR me and my fiancé. i will have to remember this day for the rest of my life.”

I have friends who told both sets of parents who thought about contributing that if they wanted to contribute money, they were welcome to, but a contribution to the wedding does not inherently imply that they have a say over how the wedding looks or feels.

I weaponized this against my mom when she wanted something bonkers, I told her she was WELCOME to pay for it. That’s why there wasn’t a hand bell choir at my wedding.

I'm not sure it matters about "should" or "should not". I know my parents, and I knew what would happen if I let them pay for my wedding. I knew what they would want to have an opinion on, what they would straight veto, and what they wouldn't care about. We decided that we would be okay with that, but I totally understand if other people wouldn't. I do wonder if some of these children are just hoping for the best, or if their parents act completely differently over their wedding than they have in the past?

I think if they’re funding the entire thing then they have a right to have opinions on things where one version costs 3k and the other costs 2k but I don’t think that they get to decide what flavour cake you have or what dress you buy. Financial, but not creative veto. And they can have opinions on the other things, but only in the same way that your friends might.

Yes but only for parents that respect what their kids want

Let’s just say even though they called it “our day” more of my mom’s friends were invited than mine. I’m not sure I would call it living vicariously, but more like using our wedding as some weird status show off. Wishing we had just eloped.

Why do we only talk to children like they have emotions that we can’t understand and need to respected. Why is it after puberty, we can’t talk to people like that?

when you offer to pay anything for someone, you shouldn't expect to have a say in it other than how much you're paying. If you pay for someone's dinner, you don't choose their food and expect them to have it even if they don't like it.

Parents probably feel this way because this was done to them as well - my Mom never got to plan her own wedding, and she expected to plan mine with me having little to no say. That didn’t work out very well for us. We’re okay now, but man that was a hard year.

Nope. It’s a gift. Money given with stipulations is manipulation.

I feel they have a say in what the budget should be and how much you can splurge on your wedding but having a say in how the entire wedding should look and what the bride,groom, food,etc. should be is wild

I think the only thing a parent should have a say in if they contribute is like one tradition. like the union candle or something like that.

Listen I had my wedding because my mom wanted me to have a wedding 😂 I wanted to elope. That woman came to every planning meeting. Tasted all the tastings except the cake 🤷🏽♀️which she could've done for me because neither of us eat cake 😂 I would've preferred to not be involved at all 😂

If they’re paying for the entire thing, they should get a say in things that affect the budget. But that’s really it.
