Wedding Planning - Paying for Your Wedding
Perhaps you are getting married soon but do you know who is going to pay for the wedding and reception?
If you are following a more traditional wedding most of the expenses of the wedding will usually be paid for by the brides family. However this tradition is dying a slow death. More and more frequently the couple themselves are paying for their wedding ceremony and reception and with total bills running well into 5 digits, this can put quite a squeeze on any budget.
Below is a more traditional list of the expenses that you will encounter before and after your wedding. Knowing up front who is paying for each of these and setting a clear budget in advance will make your wedding go far more smoothly.
This list is just examples of some of the expenses you will incur along with your wedding. You should use this as examples only because you will have a better idea of what will fit you and your families budget.
