Who is contributing towards your wedding?

My parents are contributing roughly 75% of our wedding expenses. They gave us an amount they were willing to help with and I tried my best to keep it as close to that amount as possible so we'd only have to pay a small amount out of pocket.

My FH and I were prepared to pay for our own wedding but my parents contributed about a quarter of the total cost. His parents are paying for the rehearsal dinner as far as I know. If it were up to me, I'd elope. My family is not really big into a production and when you're paying $18k out of pocket, it makes you think about what other things you could use that money for (down payment on a house???). If money weren't an object, of course I'd love a huge wedding, but it's stressful when you think about spending all of this money on one day. It is what it is, though! We're very grateful for the help.

We are paying for everything ourselves but we are older and this will be the second marriage for both of us.

My parents have paid for about 80% of our wedding & my FH's parents are paying 15%. We are paying the rest. We are very blessed to have them.

We were prepared to pay for everything ourselves, but my mom (using money her parents left her) is helping out a ton, and my dad also contributed some. FH's parents are covering the rehearsal dinner. We're still planning the wedding we want and realistically the wedding we'd have even if we were paying for it ourselves - nothing too extravagant, but still making sure we're getting what we want.

No one but he and I. The only thing we don't have to pay for is our honeymoon because his boss and the boss's wife have decided to pay for that for us. We're an older couple, i'm turning 50 two weeks before the wedding and he's 54 so it's just us

FH & I. It’s not uncommon.

We originally planned on paying for our wedding by ourselves, and we have. But there have been little upgrades here and there that my mom has contributed towards. His Mom says she wants to help but she's just not in the position to help.

We are paying for our wedding 100% on our own.

My parents and his parents are helping out with about 60%, so we will be paying the rest, but we have a long engagement so we have a lot of time to save

We are contributing a 100% to ours. My parents have made no indication in helping.. and FH's parents told us how much they would contribute, but we haven't asked for it or for them to pay for anything. We figured if they bring it up then we have a few items they can help with otherwise we are going to let it go..

Paying for it all ourselves. My parents be broke AF.

My 92 yo Maternal Grandmother is the only one that has offered any financial assistance.

FH and I are paying for everything ourselves. But my mom later on volunteered to pay for our bridal party flowers so that's the only thing. We only have a small bridal party though.

We are the only ones paying for our wedding, so you aren't alone. We are older (39 and 44) so I didn't really expect that parents were going to throw in money, but for a moment I did wonder if there would be any offers to help (there weren't). Honestly it is just fine since we can afford it. I love being able to pick out what I want without running quotes by anyone other than FH.

My Dad is insisting on paying for the rehearsal dinner. He set aside some money from his tax return and has proudly hung on to it so far.

FH’s parents were very clear that because my parents weren’t footing the whole bill, they would contribute nothing (I still haven’t made sense of that). Something about tradition and us not having to pay. We’re late 30s/early 40s-to think anyone else would foot the bill at this age is absurd.

My father paid for 80%, my mother & stepfather paid for 20%, and my husband's father paid for the rehearsal dinner. We paid for our honeymoon. I think if they didn't contribute, we would have had a very casual small wedding!

We are paying for the wedding 100% ourselves. But my sister gifted me $250 towards my dress!!

My parents paid for catering and our wedding DJ. We paid for everything else. My sister & mom also hosted my shower.

FH and I are paying for about 80% of this wedding ourselves. My parents paid for our venue deposit. And FFIL is paying for the rehearsal/welcome dinner.
