who is paying for what (with poll)

I know times have changed and so have the traditions of who pays for what. Just curious about who is paying for what regarding your wedding. In my case, my parents are paying for their guests at the reception, everything related to my dress, and they made the deposit for the flowers. FMIL is paying for the honeymoon (considered our wedding gift), the rehersal dinner, her guests at the reception, and the balance of the flowers. My mom, FMIL, and my sister (also my MOH) are paying for the shower from what I have heard. FH and I are paying for our guests at the reception and the rest of the vendors. Just curious how most of you worked things out.

We are paying for the whole thing. My parents are buying my veil and headpiece and one of our favors. FH's parents are doing the rehearsal dinner. But everything vendor related is all us. I plan on living in a card board box when this is all over.

We are paying for everything except my dress, rehearsal dinner and a coach bus for the relatives that live in Queens (my parents are paying for that). MY FH's dad gave us some money that will be used to pay for one of our vendors.

FH and I are paying for EVERYTHING ourselves, absolutely zero outside (family) help...hence my freak out posts!

We have to put the deposits down on everything and I think FIL are going to take care of the rest.

I chose other because my dad is paying for the church fees and the reception and I alone am paying for the rest.

I am paying for the price per person for the reception, attendants gifts, odds and ends, and future husbands wedding ring. My parents are paying for everything else (band, flowers, church fee, limos, etc), Future in laws are paying for the rehearsal dinner and my future husband is paying for our honeymoon and my wedding ring.

FH and I are paying for everything. It is hard, but at least we don't have to do what other people want.

Re: who is paying for what (with poll)

My parents are being generous enough to be forking most of the wedding bill. FI and I have paid the limo's, photographer, and all the favors (extras...programs, menus, ets).
