Weddings - Who Pays For What?

All of Reception (music, food, wedding cake, decorations, flowers, etc... )

Wedding gown and accessories

Father's tuxedo and mother's outfit.

The Family of the Groom -

The rehearsal dinner

Groom's cake (if applicable)

Father's tuxedo and mother's outfit.

The Bride -

Groom's wedding ring and wedding gift

Gifts and luncheon for the bridesmaids

The Groom -

His own formal wear

Corsages for both the mothers and gifts for ushers

Gifts and luncheon for groomsmen

Other payments:

Formal wear for groomsmen and gowns for the bridesmaids should be paid for by themselves

Any formal clothing for children who are in the wedding ceremony should be paid for by their respective parents
