All said and done, the wedding cost....

GJMLucky · April 2011

A LOT! Did you fellow brides out there have various members of your family chip in for your wedding? What percent of the total cost did you, your parents, in-laws, other family members, etc pay for? My parents paid for 48%, we paid for 28%, and my husbands parents paid for 24%.

My parents are paying for everything but rings, rehearsal shenanigans, honeymoon, and a handful of DIYs that I wanna do (guest books, escort cards, etc.). FI and I are paying for gifts (obviously), my accessories, STDs, DIY things, FI's tux--basically all the "extras". FI's parents want to do the rehearsal and are covering the officiant since it's their minister.

We're paying 100% ourselves.

feelslikeadream · April 2011

Everything for the wedding day my Mom paid for 100%. FI paid for honeymoon, tuxes and rings.

All I know is I feel incredibly lucky and when we started out this whole wedding planning thing I assumed we would be paying for it (not my Mom). It felt really great that she did and I am very grateful and appreciative, and I never even asked for any of it.

FMIL is a florist/caterer, so she's doing the flowers and food for free. My mom used to be a cosmetologist, so she's doing my hair and make-up for free. My mom also "bought" two one-day tickets to Universal Studios with Coke Reward points and gave them to us for free since our honeymoon is in Orlando. FI and I are paying for everything else ourselves.

Lizdc · April 2011

100% ourselves.

We are paying for 100% ourselves.

cndycne2005 · April 2011

We are also paying for all 100% ourselves, including whatever we do for the honeymoon (undecided). While sometimes, I REALLY wish we did have someone to help us along the way, I do love that we have the executive decision over everything. That's just about the only good thing about it.

MrsH8611 · April 2011

My parents are paying for all my stuff (dress, accessories), the reception food & drink costs & all the ceremony rental costs.

My fiance's Mom is paying for the Rehersal dinner.....

&&&& Hopeuflly we will be able to have a honeymoon, but if not, not biggie

allanandjulie · April 2011

My parents paid for my dress and alterations, his parents paid for the rehearsal dinner, and we paid for everything else.

swttrish2004 · April 2011

Everything that has gone into the wedding has been 100% us. It would be great to have someone to help, but we take pride in knowing that we have done this by ourselves. It is nice that everything has been our decision. I can't imagine having to figure out how to not hurt someone's feelings by not agreeing with whatever they want because they are helping us pay for it....

doeie04 · April 2011

So far his parents are paying $2,500 towards the wedding. We are budgeted at $5,000. Looks like we will be about $5,500 if everyone comes. So we aren't doing too bad. We are also paying for our HM.

mparwulski · April 2011

100% us.

brittanyjterrell · April 2011

100% us

vexie · May 2011

We're paying 100% ourselves (although my MOH is paying for my hair and makeup as a wedding gift and my fiance's late-wife's parents have offered to host the rehearsal dinner - both completely unexpected surprises!)

jemmini6 · May 2011

We are paying for everything for the wedding (from my dress, to the venue to the honeymoon). However, about 38% is from inheritance that I got from my grandma when she passed away, so still technically my money, but it was helpful.
