Hey Everyone, my FMIL said she would pay for whatever the grooms' parents traditionally pay for, but I don't know what that is? Does anyone out there know?
Thanks so much!

my FMIL thught they were responsible for the photographer and my Mom told her she never heard that before, so now she's only paying for 1/3 of the day-after brunch (with 1/3 Mom and 1/3 Uncle) and she's paying for the rehersal dinner.

My DH's parents paid for their guests and the band.
With the cost of weddings, the tradition of the bride's parents' paying for the whole wedding is not realistic anymoe.

I think the grooms parents traditionally pay for Rehearsal Dinner, Hotel Accomadationsand I think some part of the honeymoon. But really in this day and age I think people are being less traditional. I would just sit down and show her your budget and how much thingsare costing and decide together where they can help. That's really nice they are helping you guys out.

The rehearsal dinner. That's what my FMIL is paying for.

My in-laws also read that they are traditionally responsible for the bride's bouquet and the groomsman's flowers. I've seen that on a few websites also. We didn't have them pay for those though because they're not from NY and would have been absolutely shocked at the cost of my bouquet. I wanted to avoid that discomfort!
my FMIL said this as well. she said it's their responsibility to pay for flowers (she didn't mention a break down so neither did we). i had never heard of this. not sure if we're taking her up on the offer yet. i kind of feel bad. but we'll see!
all of our parents and we are splitting the RH based on guests. FH and I are paying for everything else...minus the rehearsal, maybe the flowers and church stuff (FILs) and my dad might throw in the limos but im not expecting him to.

My FILs are paying for the band, the photographer, and the flowers. Mine are paying for the hall. It works out evenly (or close).
