[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Daughter just got engaged!!  How soon do we start the who will pay for what discussions. Do we start with our daughter or the couple together. Any suggestions? p.s. we have never met future inlaws and it would require a plane ride to meet in person.[/quote]

Groom pays for rehearsal dinner.

Bride pays for every thing else.

If both have been working for awhile, parents should not even have to pay for weddings.[/quote]

not anymore![/quote]

Spoken like someone with daughters.  Lol[/quote]

NP. I have daughters, and we are already saving for their weddings. My parents paid for my wedding and my sister’s wedding. But here’s what, just because we are following that tradition doesn’t mean I don’t fully see and understand that, yes, times are changing. I’ve received wedding invitations with the bride’s parents listed as the hosts, the groom’s parents listed as the hosts, both sets listed as the hosts, the engaged couple listed as the hosts, “together with our families,” etc., etc. I even attended a wedding that the groom’s brother hosted. So there are a million ways to do it, and just outright stating “bride’s family pays for the wedding” like it’s the only way and the law, is absurd. If you don’t see that, you really need to get with the times. I bet you $1,000 that if you wrote into an advice columnist and asked “who pays for the wedding,” she or he would say, “that depends entirely on the wishes and circumstances of each couple, and there are no set rules.”[/quote]
