The Rehearsal Dinner and the Wedding night. Are up to the Groom, his family or friends, typically the Groom pays for the Honeymoon, but sometimes his family will help with that. They pay for their own attire and the grooms, He pays the minister.
Typically the Grooms side pays for all their own expenses and guest expenses, (hotels etc) If over 25 The Bride and Groom often will pay for it themselves or split the costs, and sometimes the Grooms family will offer to buy the cake or pay for the reception, It depends on each families tradition.

Solely based on "The Groom's Family" I assume you are not speaking of the groom alone.
Rehearsal dinner
boutineers for the groomsmen and the minister
corsage or small bouquets for the mothers and grandmothers
gifts for the groomsmen
gift for the bride and groom
payment to the clergy
transportation and lodging for any and all of the groom's family
and most of the time the limo or special transport for the newly married couple.

Traditionally, the guy shows up with the tux and the ring and possibly springs to take care of the honeymoon. However, in this day and age - everyone has a different opinion and some families don't help out with the wedding expenses at all. So, with that said - it's not something worth fighting about. I paid for the majority of my own wedding because my parents did not want to be involved financially. I don't hold it against them and I didn't expect my fiancee's family to take care of it all either. In this day and age, you just have to let the parents decide what they want to do for you and they'll step forward and take the initiative to tell you what they are willing to do once you're engaged. I don't think it's right to pressure family for this or that or tell them you need $10,000. Let them decide what they are willing to do - I mean a wedding is not something to fight over money about and you want everyone to show up and be happy on your wedding day right? Even if parents don't follow the traditions in regards to money. If you don't have alot of money - and they're not giving it - then you just have a cheaper wedding. I hope you have WONDERFUL family who does everything they are supposed to - but unless you're Beaver Cleaver - these days - it's not going to be just WONDERFUL in every way when it comes to $ and getting married!

usually the brides parent pay for the cost of the wedding and the grooms pay for the rehearsal dinner and alcohol. but times are changing. anything that is offered up is a gift. so if they were to do this dont expect anything besides that. and only if they can afford it.

Traditionally they pay for the following:
Rehearsal dinner
All flowers and decor (centerpieces for the reception, even if they aren't floral)
Ceremony (tips and location etc)
Transportation (limos, etc)
Honeymoon
A lot of the times now the couple will get money from both sets of parents and pay the difference themselves. It just depends what kind of wedding you want and how much it is going to cost.

no longer something because of the fact the bride and groom could have the skill to pay for their own wedding ceremony. If the two set of mothers and dads could choose for to help out, they are able to, even if it extremely is no longer an criminal accountability of the bride or groom's mothers and dads. in case you're sufficiently old to get married, you are going to be sufficiently old to take accountability and pay for the marriage your self. in case you won't be able to handle to pay for a great, formal wedding ceremony, don't have one.
