Paying for the wedding...
Original post by StaceYums81
Just curious, are you paying for your own wedding, or is family helping you? My FH's family really has no money to help with. My dad offered that he could either pay for the wedding or give us our gift after the wedding. We opted to pay for the wedding ourselves since we are in a positon that we are able to and we'd like to get money after the wedding as gifts that we could put down on a house. What's everyone else doing?

My mom put down the initial 1k deposit on our RH. She will also be hosting our engagement party and my bridal shower. FH and I will be paying for the rest.
Re: Paying for the wedding...
FH is paying for most of it. Im not gonna lie. My job pays me nothing and our parents dont have anything to give us really. I will help where I can but I really cant afford much. He's deployed right now so the money from that is a huge huge help.
Re: Paying for the wedding...
i will be paying for it myself.. i think.. im sure my mom will help..but majority is all on me.
Re: Paying for the wedding...
My parents are paying for everything
Re: Paying for the wedding...
Just me and him for the most part.
Re: Paying for the wedding...
my parents are paying for the RH. FMIL is paying for all the flowers & the RD. my mom is also paying for my dress & other accessories. FH is paying for the ceremony & honeymoon. i am paying for everything else with help from FH if necessary.
Re: Paying for the wedding...
we are paying for 100% of everything ourselves. It is really hard but we are managing, i had to get a second job/ maybe a third to be able to pull this wedding off.
Re: Paying for the wedding...
My parents are paying for the RH...unless I go over 200 people...and then i likely have to kick some money in. They are also paying for my dress and invitations. FH and I are covering everything else. I dont think his family will help out.
Re: Paying for the wedding...
We are paying for all of it ourselves... we may get a gift from both sets of parents at the end to help with the downpayment on our co-op/condo/hosue.
