letting FI plan the entire hm

my fi just goes with what i say as far as wedding plans go so i gave him complete responsibility for the entire honey moon was that a good idea?

I tried to pawn this task off on to DH but he's not a planner so I ended up being involved. 

There is no downside.  For me it was a 1st exercise in relinquishing control.

I read this and had to laugh to myself a bit....  I left FI in charge of the cake 100% (the one thing he wanted to really have an input in).  I also said that since his parents were gaciously paying for the honeymoon, that he could also be in charge of it.  When some unexpected things came up (nothing bad, actually it was a good thing that happened) , FI and I decided to pay for the honeymoon on our own... When he told me what he had thought up so far, I ended up having to have a "it's a great VACATION idea, but not such a great honeymoon idea" discussion with him.

Back to you:
If you're confident that whatever he chooses, you'll be happy with, then yes, it's a great thing to let him plan.  If not, I suggest making EVERY decision more of a team thing, and try not to take complete control over everything. Good luck!

My FI is in charge of planning and booking the honeymoon. We're about 4 months out and nothing has been booked yet...normally my Type A self would be freaking out, but I'm considering this a lesson in chilling out and letting him handle stuff. So I say it'll be totally fine, he'll do a great job.
