Historically, the bride's family paid for everything but the flowers for both wedding and reception, alcohol for the reception, bridal shower, and honeymoon which the grooms parents are responsible for. In modern times however the bride and groom usually pay for their own wedding and happily accept contributions from family if offered.
No ... or certainly shouldn't have to nor be expected to, unless of course, he specifically invited them and said he would pay for their expenses. Taking the bridal party out to dinner and possibly providing the tuxedo and gown rentals should be quite sufficient.
He does. All wedding guests including the bridal party are responsible for their own expenses. There are a few rare occasions where brides and grooms want to be generous and help their bridal party or other guests pay for certain things but it's not their responsibilty and should not be expected. It's already a gift and an honor to be invited to a wedding. The bride and groom should not have to beg or pay people to come.
According to the Bridal Association the average price of a bridal gown is just over 1500$. Top end dresses made of silk cost between 2000$ to 5000$ to have custom made by a seamstress.
No reason why not ! The whole point of a store card - is that you don't need to pay fro anything immediately. You'll simply be billed at a later date.
The answer to this? It depends. If you are looking for a cheaper shower caddy, you should expect to pay between $15 and $50, depending on where you purchase the caddy and the material from which it is constructed. For a bigger, fancier, or different type of caddy (perhaps one constructed of metal, versus plastic, for instance, or one that is heavier duty) you should expect to pay more.
Typically no. A bridal shower is usually given by friends and relatives well before the wedding to gift the new couple with things they can use for their home, and the couple usually registers together for these items. A bachelorette party is given closer to the wedding date (maybe the weekend before) and is much relaxed. The gifts are usually for the bride only and may be more suggestive in nature (lingerie, bath and shower products, etc).A bridal shower is a party where you invite female friends and family (that are invited to the wedding) to an afternoon party. You serve food, you have a cake, the bride to be opens her presents. The whole point of a shower is to shower the couple with gifts. Normally the attendants and possibly the MOB pay for the shower.A bachelorette party is where you invite female friends and family out to a bar or to Vegas for drinking and strippers and other debauchery. Normally you don't invite your Grandma or Mom, although I've seen both attend. Presents are involved but sometimes penis shaped straws are. Everyone pays for themselves at a bachelorette party, although the bride really shouldn't have to buy her own drinks.
Yes, unless someone else has offered to pay for them.
For different styles, price is much different. Sometimes, they can get it free.
