We are on our own but I am pretty sure we will get a very generous gift

My parents are giving $20,000 & his parents are giving $10,000. We are on our own for the rest, which I think will be between $5,000 and $10,000. But I know my parents will end up helping us with our portion too.

we are on our own, my parents havent mentioned anything and im not asking either. Same goes for his family. Especially considering the fact that we both are the oldest siblings in our family.

My parents cant afford to help us since my dad is so sick and has been out of work since June. But they are paying for the 1000 deposit on the hall and our E-party.

Fh's parents havent mentioned anything about helping to pay for the wedding, and I dont think they will. FH has been married before, so i'm suprised they are being as supportive as they are about this. I'm not close with his family by any means. But they are very nice

Re: How much are FH's parents/family contributing? (Poll)

while i was still engaged, his dirtbag parents werent paying for anything...which, in retrospect, is probably part of the reason we're not engaged anymore. lol.

Re: How much are FH's parents/family contributing? (Poll)

be careful you might be waiting a long time, ive been engaged for almost 16 months and i STILL dont have an answer from either set of parents. So this whole time ive been paying everything myself, and our Rh payments are every 2 months and sometimes every 3 months not to mention we have all our vendors booked and already paying 2nd installments for some of them. It would be nice so i can be a little less stressed for the next 6 months. I would be ok paying it all myself but our guestlist wouldnt be at the current 300-350 so i need to know soon or im cutting down the list lol. Although FIL's have paid for photography installments, and recently told us they'll give money towards the RH in december(fh's family is WAY over 100 ppl) dont know how much money though. So far ive paid about $15,000 for the RH on my own and by next week it will be $20,000 thats not including vendors so ppl really need to let me know bc im just gonna stop soon lol. I know my parents will contribute some but again don't know how much.

I know FIL's are paying for rehearsal dinner and my parents for Bridal shower

that was a good comeback....she wants to be traditional about whats convenient for her....
that is such a cop out !!!!! that's why I don't want to hear anybody's mouth when we make the guestlist if they are not making any contributions

i told her my father doesnt have the $ to even pay for my wedding and offered to give us 10,000 from a loan he is taking out so she knows he doesnt have the $......she just gets me mad because she'll call me and tell me about things but cant even get me s***...like the other day she calls me and is like 'omg in this store they had the cutest toasting flutes, sooo many girls were buying them, you have to go and check then out!'....now why the hell couldnt you buy them for me if you saw they were going so fast? thats the thing that pisses me off,,,,she has opinions and ideas about EVERYTHING about my wedding but wont even buy me freakin toasting flutes
