Wedding Etiquette - Who Pays for What
Author: Mrs. Party... Gail Leino

Money Money
There are no longer any hard and fast rules as to "Who Pays for What" for the wedding, but a general guideline follows as to the traditional breakdown.  Working out a budget for your wedding is one of the first things that should be done once the date is set. Will the ceremony be formal, semiformal or informal? A formal wedding, of course, will be the most expensive and the informal, the least. Nothing is set in concrete. Who pays for what? Unlike a decade ago, the lines are no longer so rigidly drawn. The burden of paying for the wedding has shifted in recent years from the shoulders of the father of the bride, to include the groom's family. Also, with many couples marrying later and having money of their own, they are sharing in the expenses.

Brides of yesteryear used to spend untold hours interviewing caterers, tasting cake samples, listening to wedding band auditions, struggling to find the perfect words and the right printer for the invitations, and so much more. Planning a wedding often turned from being a joyous occasion to just plain hard work. Not so with an all inclusive wedding package. So, just exactly what is an all inclusive wedding package? A one stop source for every conceivable wedding/reception need. The bride acquires a professional planner with her all inclusive wedding package who will coordinate every detail, from the moment the bride makes first contact until the last vestiges of the reception are cleared away from the hall. Even the honeymoon travel plans will be arranged with an all inclusive wedding package. All inclusive wedding packages often have other...
