This is the general rule of thumb


The bride (and/or her family) pays for: 

  • Invitations and all wedding stationery for church and reception 
  • Bride's and bridesmaids' dresses and accessories 
  • Flowers for the church and reception 
  • Photographer/videographer 
  • All reception costs, music, etc. (excluding drinks, barmen and related expenses)
  • Wedding cake. 

The groom (and/or he's family) pay for: 


  • Legal expenses (e.g.: antenuptial contract) 
  • Ceremony expenses (marriage officer's fee, organist, soloist, tips, etc.) 
  • Bride's and bridesmaids' bouquets 
  • Buttonholes and corsages for the wedding party 
  • Hiring of clothes for himself and best man (if necessary) 
  • Gifts for the bridesmaids and best man 
  • Drinks at the reception and related expenses, i.e hiring of barmen, 
  • Hiring of glasses, etc. 
  • Transport for the bride to the church and reception 
  • Wedding night accommodation and the honeymoon
