Who normally pays for the RD?

FH says it's his parents? Is that usually the tradition. I know every situation is different, but, I am wondering where majority rules. TIA!

I've always heard it's the grooms parents.

This is what theknot.com had to say:

'Traditionally, the groom's family throws this fete, but these days it's up for grabs. You two might take matters into your own hands, or both sets of parents may choose to do the honors together.'

My FH and I are throwing it.

Traditionally the Grooms Parent's pay for it but I'm not sure if his will be taking care of that. I'm assuming myself and FH will be footing the bill since we're getting married in 3 months and everyone else has gotten an engagement present from them EXCEPT us...... woops, did I just say that out loud????

In my family, the groom's parents pay for the RD

One of my friends is getting married soon, and he told me he's paying for the RD dinner (both his parents have passed on)

Yes, traditionally the groom's parents pay for the RD.

And traditionally the bride's parents pay for the reception.

That said, these days it can be anyone. In our case, DH and I paid for everything (RH, RD, everything) on our own.
