[quote=Anonymous]I didn't expect my parents to pay for my wedding, but they did. They told me how much they could afford ($15K, IIRC). The trade off, such as it was, was that she wanted to invite some of her friends, which I was completely fine with. In my experience, this really varies by region, family wealth, and family customs. Some women I know had lavish spreads paid for by their parents, some had parents contribute a set amount, some had both sets of parents pay for/contribute to the wedding, and some paid for it themselves (usually couples who married later in life). So there's no wrong way. Personally, I think giving your daughter a set amount that you are willing and able to contribute and letting her decide how to manage that is the best plan. That way you're not negotiating over the cost of every thing. [/quote]
