I have lurked the etiquette boards for a while and I feel completely lost. I am from Puerto Rico and it seems things get done a little differently around here. Here it is the norm that family pays for the wedding. We have already begun planning in order for us to pay for our own wedding completely. Both our families have mentioned before about contributing to the wedding. In order to set the final budget we need to know who is contributing and how much but it certainly is a very awkward conversation because you don't just ask people for money, especially in these times. so help on how to address this.

My other question is in general, what are things that etiquette should be maintained at all times and what are the rules?

I feel like I need a complete orientation in this matter
