Who's hosting? Who's paying for the wedding?

Traditionally, the bride's parents used to host the whole wedding and foot the bill. This tradition has gone by the wayside in recent years and more couples are paying for their own weddings. Who's paying for your wedding? Your parents? You and your fiancé(e)? Or are several people chipping in?...

    We are paying for most of it. Our parents have offered to chip in various amounts. My dad and step-mom offered to pay for my dress.

    My dad is paying for everything except the reception dress. My fiancé has signed up to buy the rings and my reception dress. I’m not sure who’s hosting anything but it will probably end up being my family

    My FH and I are paying for the wedding entirely. I don’t really believe in the old timey tradition of the father of the bride footing the bill for the wedding. My dad and family are already driving from California to Washington to celebrate the day with us and that’s all we really need ❤️

    My FH is paying for most of the wedding, all the big things really. I'm paying for the smaller things, like decor, invitations, etc.

    I am paying for 90% of the wedding myself! My dad and mom are pitching in on a few things because they refused to not help lol and my fiancé’s parents picked a few things to help with too because they also wouldn’t take no as an answer for helping. Love them all!

    We're paying for most of it, but his parents are helping to foot the bill and my mom bought my dress and wants to contribute what she can.

    Just the two of us. We wouldn't feel comfortable spending anyone else's money on our day.

    In terms of hosting though, we may get married at my FMIL's garden.

    My FH & Myself are paying for everything, which is why we're keeping things super low key and intimate.

    I'm paying for the majority of it, but some things are being donated like flowers, cake, food.
