If you've never been around anyone who was planning a wedding before, you'd better be sitting down when you start to take a look at some of the costs you may encounter. But seriously, a wedding is one of the biggest financial responsibilities you will ever experience. And like any other major financial undertaking in life you will have to plan carefully and make certain compromises in order to insure that you don't break the bank. But that doesn't mean you can't have a beautiful and memorable wedding. You just have to do some research and be a little smarter. After all, that's what buffalobride is all about!! |

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 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. There are no longer any hard and fast rules as to "Who Pays for What", but a general guideline follows as to the traditional breakdown.
