After reading how much everyone is paying for their wedding, I'm wondering who is paying for your weddings? How did you split the costs between you, your FH, his parents and yours? Just curious (I'm nosey )

FH and I are paying for most of it, with my parents offering here and there to pay for some things (my parents are generously paying for my dress, and the bm dresses, hair/makeup for me and the bms)

My parents paid for engagement party, my dress, my upcoming bridal shower and gave me $$.

His parents gave us a nice engagement gift $$ and are paying for the rehersal dinner, will hopefully give us a nice wedding gift to cover the costs of a few things.

We are paying for the rest basically the majority of the wedding.

We're all sharing the expenses, but it breaks down to us paying 1/2, my parents and his parents splitting up the other half.

We're very lucky. We're paying for the little extras (BP gifts, some decorations, etc).

My parents are paying for the reception, my dress, etc. FILs are paying for the RD, honeymoon, and I think they want seafood at the CH so they are paying for that.

My mom and FMIL are splitting my shower, which I thought was very sweet of them.

Outside of my dress all of the bridal gear, STD's and invitations which my parents are paying for, FH and I are paying for everything.

Re: Who's paying for your wedding?

My FH and I are paying for our wedding. My parents have been through a lot and although they would want to give, I know that they can't, so basically it's us! My mom is buying my dress and the accessories, so that will help!

Re: Who's paying for your wedding?

My parents have given us a budget and if we go over it, we pay for the extra. His parents aren't really paying for anything, unless we decide to have a rehearsal dinner.
