Who pays what?
Traditionally, there has been a set
division in expenses between the
bride's family and the groom's fami-
ly at a wedding.
The following is the traditional list
of who pays for what.
As long as it is mutually-agreed
upon by both families, there can be
modifications to the list. The
groom's family, for instance, may
want a larger guest list and offer to
take on some of the expenses of the
reception.
Modern brides and grooms may
also wish to pay for the entire wed-
ding, or the bulk of the wedding,
themselves. Even in these modern
times, though, the bride should pay
for her own wedding dress and the
groom should pay for the engage-
ment and wedding rings, along with
the cost of the marriage licence and
the clergyman's fees.
Expenses of the Bride's family
- The engagement photo.
- The party where the engagement
is formally announced.

Just foethe tut of it
Want an unplanned and unique
memory of your wedding?
Trying placing one of those inex-
pensive, disposable cameras on
every table at your reception. Then
invite your guests to use the cam-
eras to record the occasion as they
see it.
Have someone collect up all the
cameras at the end of the evening
and develop the film while you are
away on your honeymoon.
