    True. Our parents are contributing a portion to us, but we're paying the majority of it.

    True. My mom and dad set aside a little money for us and are helping with the big stuff (venue catering, photography)

    We would love to pay for it all ourselves, but are accepting some help from our parents who have generously offered to help! His parents have given us a specific number, my parents however haven’t said much. They’ve happily been involved in planning and have stated that they are saving to help pay, but not sure how to approach discussing a number? I don’t expect money from either but it sure is appreciated.

    True! We've had church members come forward and tell us they want to pay for our flowers and catering Smiley heart

    We went into this assuming we would pay for it ourselves, but my stepmom has surprised me when shopping by pushing me aside and paying for some decorations, she bought the wedding jewelry that I've already picked out as well as my wedding shoes, and she's picked up some decorations and flower pedals for me. My mother is paying for my hair/makeup

    True. My fiance and I will pay for 3/4 and my parents will pay for the other quarter. His parents are paying for the rehearsal dinner to my knowledge.

    False. FH and I are paying for everything. About 15k for everything with no more that 120 guests.

    False. We’re paying for almost everything. My mom bought my dress for me (it was a huge surprise and meant SO much)! His parents might pay for the rehearsal dinner but they have a different vision and I’d rather us pay and have what we want. So we’ll see

    True. Fiances parents are giving us some money and my mom is paying for my dress and accessories.. Not sure if we have to use that for the wedding or if we can use it for something else...?

    We are handling most of it but his parents are pitching in for florals and rehearsal dinner. my parents gave $500 to 'whatever is needed'. His grandparents might decide to help out but we aren't counting on it.

    False, we're taking care of our entire bill. However, both are sets of parents are excited and have participated in the planning.

    False. We are doing it on our own. The best thing we have going is that all of our vendors are letting us pay monthly. Love it!!
