Footing the Bill: Modern or Traditional?

Modern my fiance and I are paying for most of it, my parents will pay for bridal shower, personal shower,and possibly DJ too,my fiance's parents will probably pay for photography/videography and rehearsal dinner.

Both our parents are very traditional in how the wedding is paid for. My parents are footing most of the bills, my FMIL is taking what bills the groom traditionally takes, and my FH and I are filling in where we can and taking care of all the tips, the wedding party, the honeymoon, and our parents gifts!

My mom is paying for most of our wedding. She’s covering the venue in full, along with a portion of my dress, invitations and photographer.

It's my second marriage so my fiance and I are paying for everything. His parents offered to loan us money if needed, which is greatly appreciated. They also want to pay for our honeymoon.

So far, we're paying. We're 31. If parents or grandparents choose to chip in, we will accept. But we wont ask.

Modern. We paid for our own wedding all except $200.

We will be paying for most of the wedding ourselves. My father has offered to help, which is very generous of him, but he isn't giving me an amount or any specifics about what he wants to help with so I'm focusing on planning something we can afford.

Our wedding was more modern. My Father provided some financial assistance for the reception and wedding dress (which helped greatly), all other expenses where paid by my now husband and I.

Definitely modern. We are paying for everything. Although my mom did gift my dress to me.

Modern. My fiance and I are paying for everything !

My fiance and i are paying for everything with the exception of my mom paying for our invitations. we are hoping that his parents will cover the honeymoon because they told us to let them know what we'd like their help with. we are getting married on our 10 year anniversary and we don't really need to register for gifts anywhere so we are going to ask for honeymoon contributions or cash gifts to help put some of that money back in our pockets.

A mix of both. Parents are chipping in, but FH and I are footing most of the bill.

Mostly traditional- my parents are giving us $10k and we’re putting in $7k of our own plus his parents will be footing the bill for the rehearsal dinner

Me and my fiance my future in-laws and my parents are all footing the bill

My dad is paying the majority of the bill. My fiance and I are the first of each of our siblings to be married. His parents also eloped, so they don't really know what they are traditionally supposed to do and we don't know how to hint things to them without feeling pushy lol

Modern we are paying for everything ourself because it is our marriage#2

My mother paid for my wedding dress, and FH's parents paid for the venue (it was $1300). My grandmother is a caterer so she is doing our wedding for free. We are paying for everything else DJ, flowers, photographer, honeymoon, decorations, cake, drinks.

Modern, we planned to pay for everything ourselves. Both of our parents had financial hardships recently due to health problems and moving out of state. So we didn’t want anyone to feel guilty and decided to save up ourselves.
FMIL did offer to pay for rehearsal dinner. My parents are trying to save up to pay for the venue. However , as of now everything is being paid by us.

My dad is 88, and has plenty of money to help.......but, with my mother gone he doesn't have a clue about wedding protocol. Lol. If my mother was still alive I know they would contribute, but I would never ask him outright. My sister keeps joking with him about his "contribution" to the wedding.......I just laugh it off. he's actually paid my 2 brothers and my sister to elope years ago. My fiance is retired and I'm still working (60 years old), and I've managed well enough that I am paying for everything myself. I have my dress already, fully paid for the venue and have just finished with me centerpieces and other decor. All that's left is the food and related items. If he contributes, wonderful, if not, I am just thrilled he will be there to walk me down the aisle...... That's what matters most to me.

A little of both. we are paying the majority of the bill but my parents are giving us a lump sum to put towards the wedding or honeymoon as well.
