Who pays for the wedding in traditional African wedding?

The Groom's Family; traditionally, the groom's father. The groom's family pays for the knocking ceremony, dowries and all fees that result from the traditional ceremony (Ghanaian tradition). The brides family normally prepares the food, drinks, music, etc. for the reception. The "white wedding ceremony" normally follows the traditional ceremony; that's if the couple chooses to do this. In Ghana, the groom pays for this part of the ceremony also; as the saying goes "Who's marrying who" (translated from Twi). Nowadays however, the bride and her family can choose to contribute financially depending on their relationship with the groom. Most of the time, they don't; but some do, just to help their daughter out.

Should you have a wedding shower for a couple that is having a private ceremony?

It is proper etiquette to only invite people to the shower who will also be invited to the wedding. If the couple is having a private ceremony with only family, then only invite family to the shower. If they are eloping and not inviting anyone, it would be safest not to have a shower because those at the shower would be expecting a wedding invitation.
