questions on who is fronting the bill

FH and I are both paying for everything ourselves. We need to each save $125/week to reach our budget by 1 year. We've started making payments on venue, DJ, and photographer. Our budget is around 15K but will probably end up costing more. FH makes more than I do, so on the weeks where I don't have the $125, he put in 250 to make up for it.

I'm forking over the most money, next is FMIL with $5k less than I'm putting forward, then my parents and him are both paying half of what FMIL contributed. That's only because I've been saving up since my first job for my future wedding, otherwise I'm sure he would be paying for most of it since he makes the most money. I'd say pay for what you can. Don't go into debt so only put forward what is right, whether it's 50/50, 70/30, 80/20, etc. Only pay for what each of your income allows.

Edit: My parents are also paying for our shower and his mother paid/is paying for our engagement party/rehearsal dinner separate from what they gave us.

I will never go into debt for the wedding, lol bonus of it being 3 yrs away more time to save. Also I will be using my tax returns for the major purchases of the wedding. He makes more but helps out when I can't, his tax return is nothing compared to mine. Other things I buy when I find them in sale, hence the two totes in my room with wedding stuff lol.

We are paying for the wedding ourselves and have separate bank accounts but have been depositing money into a shared smartypig account.

We are paying for our own wedding, but don't have joint accounts. He pays for some stuff, I pay for some. We split my dress, I paid for the venue, he is buying his suit...and so forth. We're only keeping our finances separate for now until we close on a house (he's technically buying it), so we're trying to have me pay for more stuff for now to keep cash in his account because it looks better for the bank.

I have money saved from when my dad passed away that I said I would put towards a house and my wedding. I used some of it for our down payment and the rest is waiting to be spent on all things wedding. My FH makes more than me so he covers most of our household bills so this will help balance things out. Even though we don't have a joint account yet, I look at it as our money and its just us paying for the wedding.

Becky b Ioso get that. We wanted to buy but he did not make enough for what we wanted since he is the one buying. Now he has a new job and wants a diff car and wants to wait on the house.

Me, FH and my dad are footing the bill...we picked things to pay for and did it like that

I'm paying for all of it. Love him to pieces, but he's not a saver. He's working on building his savings account so he can match my contribution when we buy a house. But it doesn't matter to me; it's all "our" money anyway.

We paid for everything equally. For a year we each put the same amount from every paycheck towards the wedding. We didn't specifically assign expenses like catering/photographer, etc. It worked great for us

We are paying for the entire wedding ourselves and since we have lived together for ages, we opted to simply go down to "living" on one income for approx. 70% of our daily needs and paying the $1000+ we needed per month out of the other income.

I did I had the money in savings when we got engaged. He spent almost as much on the ring as we did the wedding and I made more than double his salary. I had no problem with it though because I told him if I needed help with money is ask, my savings would become his when we got married anyways.

Honestly ladies I love hearing that more so of us are paying for the weddings ourselves. Like I told FH since I am the one that wants this I am willing to pay more. I also don't expect either set of paretns to pay for anything but they can help with looooottttssss lol. I think FH is willingto pay more then what I asked him but we will see lol.

My job is to cover the wedding cost. Any cost that will not be cover by my parents. As of now I'm looking at 100% on my own. What money my parents do agree to give will go towards finish savings for the wedding and honeymoon.

His job is to cover the down payment on a house.

Honeymoon??? Haven't discussed it yet.

50/50. We both work and have good stable jobs.

My FI and I are paying for it. We are living together and have combined finances.

We are dividing the cost half and half...even though he has more money than i do i want more thing that he just finds innecessary so we decided to divide it in half so it would be fair for both either way we are getting married and soon what is mine will be his and what is his will be mine

Our parents are paying 45% each of the catering costs, we are paying 10% of the deposit plus all the other extras. We started a joint account for all the deposits and personal stuff are on our own. FH parents are paying for rehearsal dinner. My parents paid for photobooth. We pretty much split the costs for everything our parents aren't helping with.

My mom is paying for the photographer, contributed to the kids attire, and picking up little things like ribbon and vases. FH is responsible for his and the groomsmen's attire. I'm paying for the rest.

Me and fh are paying for ours and i told him i will cover everything up to the day of excluding my ring. It comes out pretty even
