Reply:usually the brides parents
Reply:Traditionally, the bride's family pays for everything except the rehersal dinner, groom's cake, and possibly liquor at the reception.
Reply:With most couples being adults and working these days, they pay for their own wedding, and plan the type of wedding and number of guests they can afford.


Long gone are the days when the bride goes directly from her father's home to her husband's home, which was when the bride's family paid for the wedding.
Reply:This is changing very fast. In the past, the bride's family paid for the wedding and most of the reception. The groom's family paid for the liquor and the rehearsal dinner. However, this was when women didn't have jobs, and went from being their father's responsibility to becoming their husband's responsibility. In modern times, this no longer fits. Now, very often the parents will contribute money towards the wedding, along with the bride and groom. This split isn't always equal, and is often based on how much each party can afford to contribute. Very often the bride and groom pay for everything these days.
Reply:Your dad.
Reply:If your parents will pay, go for it, otherwise, you and ur future hubby are stuck.
Reply:The grooms family pays for the reception %26amp; rehearsal dinner, the rest falls on the brides family dear
Reply:But the grooms parents pay for the rehersal dinner and the groomsmen and bridesmaids pay for their attire and the bachelor/bachelorette party
Reply:We were blessed by my Dad´s generosity.

Reply:The tradition is the brides family pays. But these days it doesn't matter. Who ever wants to help take them up on it and be very grateful.
Reply:the brides parents pay for everything the grooms family pays for rehearsal dinner groom pays for brides wedding bouquet
Reply:Traditionally, the groom's parents pay for the rehearsal dinner and the honeymoon. The bride's parents usually pay for everything else. Attendants usually buy their own dress/tux and pay for the bachelor/ette party. However, traditions don't mean that you HAVE to do it that way. For example, many couples pay for their own honeymoon. This is just the "old school" way of doing things! Hope this helps!
