As we all know, more than half of couples have experienced the situation, which their parents pay majority of their wedding budget. However, it is not a easy thing to ask their parents for paying for the wedding without any questions. Perhaps you need to sit down, talk with them and ask for contributing funds. Of course, talking about the wedding budget is not a interesting dialogue. However, if you are positive and polite to handle the wedding budget, i think you don’t have to be too nervous. Actually, over one-third parents will formally talk with their children about the wedding budget after they are plan to be engaged.

Before the conversation

Because you would like to get a lot of money, it is very necessary for you to prepare for the approaching conversation. Get an idea of how much a normal wedding cost in the local area. Besides, you should know how much you and your parents can afford. If you can offer your parents with how much you expect them to pay for you. In my view, it will be easier for them to make their decision.

Find a quiet room and talk with your future spouse. Take some notes of what kind of wedding do you would like to hold. How many guests you both want to invite? Would you rather have a beach wedding, garden wedding or a destination wedding? If you choose a simple wedding to cut down your expense, simple wedding dresses will become your choice. So if you confirm it, you can tell your parents about the wedding style.

You and your future spouse will indicate how much you can afford for the wedding. Then your parents will seriously consider your advice and also impressed with what you both have done.

Prepare your parents

It is important for you to inform your parents in advance. For example, you can call them and simply describe the current situation. Don’t surprise your parents suddenly asking for wedding money. Then appoint a date for having a deeper discussion. Hi Dad, Tom and i have talked about our wedding, and we would like to know if you and mom can contribute. Is it has the possibility that we can have a talk on Sunday?
