Poll- who is paying for your wedding

We paid for all the favors, bridal party gifts and our attire (tuxes, shoes, my dress, veil, shoes, etc.) We also paid for the entire honeymoon ourselves. My FI's parents paid for the rehearsal dinner and my shower, along with my bridesmaids. My father paid for the entire reception and all vendors.

My FI and I are paying the majority of it and our parents are paying about 10 to 20% of it. Which is a nice help

My husband and I paid 100%, but...

We were happy to do it! My mom bought my dress as my gift and gave us a generous check on our wedding day. Frankly, I wish she wouldn`t have! I know she can`t 'afford' it...meanwhile she wishes it could have been more!! We were proud to be able to do it ourselves even though we went 10K over our initial (bogus) budget! The most important thing was that we had a beautiful wedding and didn`t have to go into debt for it!! :)

We are paying for it all!

Including rehearsal dinner, shower (my younger sister is my MOH and she's in college, my Mom's gown, and all reception and related costs. It's hard to save (see recent post) but we're trying!

Kevgal

How are you paying for your own shower? Are you planning it too? This seems like an awful lot. I am not doing a rehersal dinner instead I am having everyone back to our condo for desert after the rehersal. You might want to consider it as an option to save costs.
