Wedding Forum - Who's paying?...

We are mostly paying for things ourselves, my mum and dad have bought 2 out of 4 bridesmaid dresses and my dress and they said they will offer some money later although we haven't expected anything
I like the fact we are paying for most of it ourselves as it means I don't feel bad saying no and I'm quite happy to put my foot down as it's our money lol

Me and oh are mainly paying for it ourselves we paid 500 of our venue package and I am beyond greatful that my oh parents paid 2000 of it as it has made things so much easier we could have done it ourselves but that package has just made it so much more comfortable. Oh uncle so far doing photographer for free so I count that as him paying for that as without his amazing skills that would have been a good £1000!! Oh parents also paying for two bridesmaids dress and two little boy suits. My sister paid for her two little bridesmaids dresses. My mum and dad was going to give 700 but long story they booked a holiday couldn't go so gave it us so we had a pre moon in march! ! was so nice to escape for a bit. They said they will also treat us nearer time.

We didn't expect any help but can't deny I have been overwhelmed with the generosity because neither side are particularly wealthy so it's just been so lovely and can't deny it's made it all a little more easier.

Also we have his dad's amazing woodwork skills to make us a letter box and a few other bits which will save a few ££

My parents and hubby's dad (his mum passed away before I even met hubby) gave us £10k each so we had £20k from parents and then we paid for the rest.

We're paying for most of ours; my late granddad paid for my dress and the bridesmaid dresses and my parents wedding gift to us is £2000 for the honeymoon :)

My parents, my soon to be in laws and ourselves are paying for our wedding! So far it seems to be working well :)

We are paying for it all ourselves. I prefer it this way as there is no interference from others and I don't have to justify our choice to anyone else. Most people will give us cash gift though. But we can't afford a honeymoon just now so any cash we get will go towards that.

All of the above for us too.

We're paying around 30% (honeymoon; rings; cake; OH's outfit; bridesmaid and groomsmen's gifts; marriage notices; and a couple of other bits), and my parents are paying for the rest.

My father is paying for mine and my sisters dresses, shoe and accessories, my h2b's mother is paying for our cake, my mother and h2b's father is going to pick one thing each to pay for and our bridesmaids & flowergirls are paying for their shoes and dresses and everything else me and my h2b are paying ourselves.

We were going to pay for our wedding, but my dad has given me some money to help out which has taken alot of stress off os us. But now fmil wants long lost family, ones that my h2b hasn't seen for over 10 years to attend the day and not just the evening as we budjected for, so have had to tell her if she wants them there she will have to pay for them

All of the above for me too! My parents have paid the most, with us next and then h2b's parents have paid for the band and evening buffet xx
