[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]No. Most brides AND grooms parents pay half[/b]. It’s sexist to only pay for a daughter’s wedding IMO. I’m 32 and that’s what most of my friends parents did. (My parents gave us a flat amount and in-laws gave nothing) [/quote] No, they don't. Bride's family pays for wedding. Groom's family pays for rehearsal dinner and sometimes contributes to honeymoon (ours didn't).[/quote] Not even close to being true.[/quote] Amongst my friends who are 30-35 right now, living in DC, the vast majority had parents and inlaws who paid half each. Most gave 20k to their son and 20k to their daughter. If you can't afford any money, that's fine to just show up to your kids wedding, but if you can afford to pay for your daughter's wedding, you should give the same amount to your son. We plan on giving the same amount to our daughters and son and will offer it as downpayment help or wedding help. [/quote]
