Who traditionally pays?
Hi All!
My FMIL has just asked what do the parents of the Groom traditionally pay for and FH and I are unsure. Does anyone know? What did your FIL's pay for if anything? Thanks

from what i have heard, the brides father pays for the wedding and the grooms family pays for the alcohol & rehearsal dinner... i'm sure there is more... I have heard that they also pay for transport too.

Just checking my Bride's Diary and it says:
Groom & Groom's family pay for: Bride's ring & wedding gift Gifts for Groom's party Tie's etc for Groom's party Bride's bouquet Bottonholes & Corsages Clergymans (celebrants) fee Rehersal dinner honeymoon Travelling expenses and hotel bills and going away outfits If I gave this to FMIL she'd have a stroke LOL!

Bride / Bride's Family Pay for:
Engagement Notice & Party All reception costs including room hire, food and beverages Bridesmaids bouquets and ceremony flowers Decorations for reception Musicians for both ceremony & reception Grooms ring & gift Photography stationery Brides wedding attire Transport & parking expenses for ceremony & reception I think the grooms transport costs relate to the honeymoon?

Tradtonally the grooms famly pay for the weddng cars, the alcohol the rehearsal dinner..
But thats traditionally and alot of people dont do ths now. normally they wll just contribute to the wedding and you put t towards whatever you need Thats the one i forgot they pay for the honeymoon also.

Yep I am sure it's alcohol and if American the rehersal dinner. Also the groom pays for the honeymoon.
But honestly who really sticks to tradition anymore?

this is how we've divided it:
parents (combined) are paying for : dj and reception fh and i are paying for: my dress, his suit, our rings, the honeymoon between all of us we are paying for: bridal and groom attendant presents, flowers, invitations and other stationary, photographer and transport - also may be splitting favours also depends on how much money we have left to play with.

We are paying for the whole kit and caboodle.... actually FMIL is buying grooms shirt & tie - we are paying the rest...and then some!
He gave his Dad a brand new suit he's never worn (which he looks spunky in) and FMIL wants to thank him in return

My MIL insisted on paying for the alcohol, flowers and cake. this was great except the cake turned into a nightmare. As she was paying she arranged for something other than what we wanted and involved a lot of heated phone calls
in the end the cake wasn't what we wanted at all (including design and flavours). So while i am thankfull they wanted to contribute i would have been happier being out of pocket and having what i wanted.
