Who Pays For What Question

We're paying for our own wedding, but my parents paid everything for my two oldest sisters when they got married which was a looooong time ago. I think the grooms family hosted the rehearsal dinners.

DH and I paid for everything! MIL helped with their tuxes because it was FH and it his brothers. That was about it.

Gotcha! Thanks for your help ladies! I believe his mother did say she was taking care of the rehearsal dinner and his tux, but just wasn't sure about anything else.

We are paying for almost all of it. My father gave me a nice chunk of money for my bday last month (10x what he told me he would give me to help with my dress) and it will pay for most of the reception bill. His parents really have not offered jack and we are not asking for it. Don't want to hear about it for the next 20 years.

We paid for everything. Tradition with that is kind of fading away.

My family is very traditional. For our wedding in June my father will be paying for the venue, food, alcohol, flowers, cake & transportation.

My FMIL will be paying for rehearsal dinner & whatever else she would like to pay for. We are very fortunate that my future SIL/ BM is paying for our photographer as our gift.

My FH & I are in charge of paying for my dress/ his tux, photographer, favor, programs, invitations.

We paid for the wedding ourselves. DH's aunt hosted the rehearsal. Tradition with who pays what is fading quickly.

However, my parents chose to help with the venue. FH and I plan on paying everything ourselves. If anyone would like to pitch in and/or pay for it, we won't argue, but we're not expecting either side to automatically be responsible for something.

Yep, my parents literally paid for EVERYTHING and FHs parents are going to pay for the rehearsal dinner.

My parents are paying for everything with a few exceptions. My fh and I are paying for our rings, our honeymoon (some of it), and gifts. My FMIL and FFIL are paying for a modified version of a grooms dinner...pizza and beer after our Friday night events for those that want to join in.

Grooms (or their families) TRADITIONALLY have paid for the bride’s engagement & wedding rings, a wedding day gift, and her bouquet; the rehearsal dinner, gifts for your groomsmen presented at the rehearsal dinner; the marriage license and the officiant; wedding day transportation and the honeymoon.

But, sit down and figure out what works best for the two of you – every couple is unique.

We're not really being traditional about it...both sides are giving us equal amounts of money which totals to what we (mostly FH) is putting in.

My mom has paid for my dress and the flowers so far, just because she was with me and it was easiest to do that way and FILs will probably just give FH a check to cover their amount to let him dish out...they are also paying for the bar (not sure how we are working that one out) and the Rehearsal dinner. Jointly our mom's will be hosting a bridal shower and open house during the Gap Time of the wedding day.

FH has taken on most of the larger costs and deposits of the wedding, while I am covering the smaller ones, bridal party gifts, photo booth, stds, invitations, ect.

@Jess I've never heard of all THAT

I thought traditionally brides parents pay for everything except the rehearsal dinner and maybe honeymoon.

My parents paid a big portion, we paid a little portion, and in-laws paid for a rehearsal dinner.

@Jess B - wins with the list!

You can also google it I'm sure, Pinterest has some "cute" picture thing floating around that explains it.

Yes, every couple is unique but her in -laws want the traditional list and that was the question.....

My parents are paying for half, FH and I are paying the other half. His mom is on a fixed income so I wouldn't ask or expect anything. Yet seems his side has the bigger guest list...go figure.

That is a conversation you, your FH, your parents and FILs need to have.

I always thought the only thing the groom's parents were expected to pay for was the rehearsal dinner and the engagement ring the groom purchased obv. I'd take Harris's advice and hit Pinterest! Good luck!

If they are traditional then they should know whats tradition to divide up

or google works too.
