Who is contributing towards your wedding?

Neither of our families are contributing money towards our wedding. However, my FILs are allowing us to use one of their timeshare exchange weeks for our honeymoon, as well as letting us have our small reception on their backyard. Both of these were a major help without them having to provide actual money towards the wedding.

FH and I had planned on paying for it all ourselves. My mom surprised me dress shopping by saying she'd pay for that. And FH parents have given us a certain amount and want to pay for the rehearsal dinner. But even with the contributions, we are still planning what we would have originally.

My parents and my FW’s parents are both contributing. We are paying for the remainder.

My parents are paying for 95% of the wedding, and my FILs are paying for the "traditional groom expenses" (rehearsal dinner, groom's cake, bride's flowers, boutonnieres, wedding favors, etc). FH & I paid for some of the decorations and our chargers along with using my credit card miles for the flights to our honeymoon location, food, and excursions. Since my parents covered most of the wedding, my FILs are, also, paying for our ocean-front condo for the honeymoon. We feel very blessed that our parents wanted to pay for so much of the wedding!

You aren’t the only one! My FH and I aren’t paying everythingggg on our own. No one has helped us financially in our entire relationship so we don’t expect any different now. We do hope we at least get some cash as wedding gifts so we can kind of make up for it but yup everything on our own!

We paid for everything ourselves.

My FH and I are getting married next month and we have paid for EVERYTHING ourselves. Not a single dime from anyone else, which is completely fine. I think the final cost for the rehearsal dinner, wedding, and honeymoon will fall somewhere around $20,000 after I crunch all of the numbers. I'm not sure yet though.

My parents are paying for my dress, cake ingredients (I'm baking our cake), and they paid the deposit for the photographer. Everything else is on us.

My parents are paying for 75%, grandparents 25%, and his parents are paying for the rehearsal dinner. We only paid for our rings and honeymoon

We paid everything ourselves too

We are doing it all ourselves. We are a little older (39/41) and everyone is struggling financially we wouldn’t expect anyone to help.

We are paying it all ourselves. Nobody offered to help at all.. not even for my dress or offering/asking about a shower or anything🤷‍♀️ Nobody cares to help me plan but my mom and sis have negative comments to make about what I'm picking. Ugh!

We are paying for everything too!!! The only thing my parents are paying for is the rehearsal dinner and cake. My fiance's parents are throwing us a family reception in October though since we couldn't afford to invite many guests so we excluded all family except immediate. I told my mom if they aren't contributing to the bills she doesn't get to decide on things for us!!

My fiance and I are paying for almost everything. My sis and FSIL paid for a couple small items. I eloped on my first wedding and my fiance had a horrible experience with his first wedding (we have both been divorced). So when we got engaged, we both agreed we wanted a wedding, but one we will both enjoy.

My FH & I are paying for everything but my Mom, who is a seamstress, is doing the alterations for my dress as part of the gift from her & my Dad. We're making the veil together too!

We had begun budgeting and planning based on how much the two of us would want to put towards a wedding. Our parents (my dad and mom individually as they are divorced, and his parents) ended up each contributing however much they felt comfortable with, which allowed us to spend less as a couple.
