Question

the grooms parents, the dinner after rehearsal, who is responsible and the overall wedding

Answer 1

The Brides parents are financially responsible for the wedding. The Grooms parents are financially responsible for the rehearsal dinner and the honeymoon. This is according to traditional values and has changed depending on many different situations, such as the Bride and Groom flipping the bill themselves is really okay too.

Answer 2

Sometimes your just gonna have to work with which ever side of the family on money because all people cant afford it. But usually the brides parents will pay for the biggest part. The traditional was form the grooms parents are to pay for the bridal parties flowers and the rehersal dinner. In my wedding coming up my parents are paying for the whole reception. The grooms paretsa are paying for just the rehersal dinner casue thats all they can really afford. If they can there gonna pitch in on some flowers too. As for the rest my fiance and I are paying for honeymoon my dress (which my mom aslso helped me with) flowers for the ceremony, photographer, dj, church and favors and all the extra little things. Its really just what everybody can afford. BUt the brides parnet are usually the ones that are sappost to pay for the majority of the stuff. I hope this helped you . Congratulations

Answer 3

Technically, nothing.

Any financial contributions are gifts, not responsibilities.

Traditionally, the bride's parents pay for the bride's dress, wedding ceremony, and reception. In this same tradition, the groom's parents pay for the groom's tux, the rehearsal dinner, and potentially the honeymoon. The attendants would pay for their own outfits.

Answer 4

No one is "responsible" except the bride & groom.

Traditionally the bride's family pays for the wedding & reception and the groom's family pays for the rehearsal dinner.

Answer 5

In my honest opinion, the bride and groom are responsible for all of the costs and planning associated with the wedding. However, some say that past tradition implies the father of the bride is responsible for the cost for the wedding ceremony and reception, the mother of the groom is responsible for the cost and planning of the rehearsal dinner, and the groom is responsible for the cost and planning of the honeymoon. I would suggest that you and your finance prepare to plan and pay for your entire wedding unless your families offer to assist you with some of the costs. For example, my parents offered to pay for the invitations, my dress, and provide a lump sum of money to use towards wedding expenses as we saw fit and my husband's mother offered to give us a rehearsal dinner. Bear in mind that for some family members, accepting their financial assistance may also mean accepting their opinions on how they would like to see their money spent. If you want to have sole discretion on spending and planning, you may want to consider paying for it yourselves even if assistance is offered. But should know best on whether fincancial assistance is purely a gift or if it comes with conditions attached.

Answer 8

These days, the traditional "who pays for what" has really gone out of the window. Couples are usually working, so save and budget so they pay for their own wedding. Parents can throw something in the pot if they want, but there are just no requirements anymore.
