My answer to that is try to get your parents to understand the reasons WHY you dont want a live band. There may be more to it than just wanting to put your money towards something a house. Will the band take the attention off of you the couple? Will they take up a big chunk of your reception program that you want to fill with other things? Will your guests enjoy the music that a live band will provide? Think about other reasons to persuade your parents. Also, try the first tip posted above, and see if you can get someone else to advocate for you and get your parents to understand.Memihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04602289969912315787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7678247699483804737.post-8186485536162169892013-02-01T23:50:59.731-05:002013-02-01T23:50:59.731-05:00What if money is not really the issue?

When the couple receives monetary gifts, they prefer to put this money towards long term investments like a new home. How do you make parents who say "well, we won't ask you to pay for it" to understand your vision is of a less fussy wedding and a more simple, elegant style? For example, the parents want a live band with the talking drum included, it costs several thousands dollars. However, the couple prefers a live DJ, which will save money. How do you convince the parents to agree even if they offer to pay for the live band?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13526824673769783717noreply@blogger.com
