| Who
Pays For What |
Historically, the bride and/or her family
have assumed the majority of the wedding related
expense. The more modern approach allows for
division of costs between the couple and/or
both sets of parents. The following are some
of the more traditional guidelines that you
can adopt or modify to suit your particular
needs. The itemization also provides a check
list of matters that may require attention
in your wedding preparations.
Note: Usually, the attendants will pay for
their attire. If not, the bride will assume
the expense of her attendants and the groom
for his.
