Who pays for the bride’s bouquet?
The groom’s family pays for the bride’s bouquet; the boutonnieres for the groomsmen, fathers, and grandfathers; and the corsages for the mothers and grandmothers. Traditionally, the groom’s family also pays for the rehearsal dinner and would thus be expected to pay for any flower arrangements they decide to have there.

The average cost of wedding invitations sits between $400 and $650 for most couples.

What does the maid of honor pay for?
The maid of honor, along with the rest of the bridal party, is expected to cover all wedding attire costs. This includes the dress (plus any necessary alterations), shoes, and any jewelry you’ll be wearing the day of. Occasionally, the bride will gift her bridesmaids with whatever accessories she wants them to wear.
Who typically pays for the honeymoon?
Traditionally, the groom and his family are responsible for financing the honeymoon, but these days — especially with people marrying later in life — the task often falls to the groom himself (or to the couple). Your friend may be able to contribute a portion of the trip, but she is in no way obligated to do so.
How much money should the groom’s parents give?
Couples aren’t the only ones overspending on weddings. Parents of the bride and groom collectively contribute about $19,000 to the wedding, or about two-thirds of the total cost, according to WeddingWire. The bride’s parents give an average $12,000, and the groom’s, $7,000.

What does the M mean on an RSVP card?
It’s meant to begin the recipient’s response. The letter M is simply the beginning of the person’s title — Mr., Miss, Mrs. and Ms. — which would then be followed by the person’s name. Only the names of those attending should appear on this line.
