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. 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 Usually,
the attendants will pay for their attire.
If not, the bride will assume the expense
of her attendants and the groom for his. |
