Wedding Budget Etiquette

Tradition states that the bride’s parents are responsible for fronting the bill for the wedding reception; these days, the bride’s parents, groom’s parents, and the couple themselves all contribute to the wedding pool. That said, it helps to come to the budgeting table prepped with the traditional list of which side pays for what. These conventional “rules” can then be adjusted according to your financial situations:

Wedding Costs Paid by the Bride and/or Bride’s Parents

* Ceremony rental fee
* Bride’s dress and accessories
* Ceremony flowers and décor
* Bouquets for bridesmaids and flower girl
* DJ, Photography, and videography
* Engagement party
* Bridesmaids’ luncheon
* All vendor services for reception, including food, beverages, and décor
* Groom’s ring
* Invitations and stationery
* Transportation for bridal party to and from ceremony and reception

Wedding Costs Paid by the Groom and/or Groom’s Parents

* Marriage license and officiant’s fee
* Groom’s attire
* Bride’s bouquet, boutonnieres for ushers, and corsages for mothers and    grandmothers

* Bachelors’ dinner
* Both of the bride’s rings

Costs Incurred by the Wedding Attendants

    I’ve been surfing online greater than three hours as
    of late, but I never found any attention-grabbing article like
    yours. It is lovely price sufficient for
    me. Personally, if all site
    owners and bloggers made good
    content material as you did, the internet might
    be much more helpful than ever before.
