1. Groom's parents paying for the wedding

   

   Discussion by Knottie56142528 · August 2014 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Budget Weddings Forum

   I'm the mother of the groom and my husband and I are paying for the majority of the wedding. Everything I look up as far as etiquette is about the bride's parents (who aren't paying for a darn thing!). Do I just flip the etiquette around as far as tradition goes such as the dress I choose to wear? I would appreciate any…

   Discussion by rmfallen424 · February 2013 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Etiquette Forum

   So if the grooms parents are paying for the entire wedding, should just their names be including on the wedding invitation as hosts?? What is the proper etiquette on that?

3. Grooms parents paying for whole wedding

   

   Discussion by luckylauram · September 2011 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Etiquette Forum

   I have a dilemma. My fiance's parents have generously offered to pay for our entire wedding because they know that while my divorced parents are in my life, they will not contribute anything to our wedding. I am very close with his parents, more so than with my own so I do not want to offend them by sticking with…

4. Paying for the wedding - parents help question

   

   Discussion by rbtrumpet · March 2010 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Etiquette Forum

   So FI and I are paying for our wedding completely. We knew that even before we got engaged our parents would not be able to help us, financially. Now that things are starting to come together, my parents have said they would like to help. They originally suggested paying for the rehearsal dinner, but I KNOW they cannot…

6. Invitation wording - groom's parents paying for wedding

   

   Discussion by casey1207 · October 2012 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Etiquette Forum

   I am about to order my invitations and I have a question. This is not my first wedding. My father helped pay for my first wedding and won't be contributing to this one. My fiance's parents are actually paying for the entire thing. Should the wording on the invitation be "Mr. and Mrs. XXX request the honor of your presence…

   Oh my. Anything that ANY parent can contribute is a GIFT to you. There is not a single obligation to pay for ANYTHING for YOUR wedding. And it is his son's wedding, so he should be able to enjoy it and not feel guilty for not being able to contribute. My ILs paid for the RD, which was generous of them. They didn't pay for…

9. Wedding Announcement/ Invitation Etiquette when Bride's Parents are paying for 90% of the wedding

   

   Discussion by keats11 · November 2012 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Etiquette Forum

   I was wondering what sort of language/ phrasing to use on the wedding announcements/ invitations. My parents are paying for the reception mostly. My fiance's parents have stated that they will pay for the people beyond the 100 my parents are paying for because most of the guests will be from the groom's side as it will be…

10. Asking parents to help pay for wedding

    

    Discussion by Caitlinmmk · December 2010 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Wedding Etiquette Forum

    My parents are pretty well off, but they don't want to help pay for my wedding because, when they got married, they had to pay for their own(same reasoning for why they couldn't pay for my college). My FI and I aren't really upset about it or anything and are planning to do it ourselves, but we don't make a whole lot of…
