How much money should bride's parents give as a wedding gift?

  • Parents of the groom should only give the bride and groom what they can afford and not worry about how much the bride's parents give or other guests give them. It is foolish for parents to put themselves into financial difficulties over a gift. They can always give their daughter and new son in law an extension on a gift during Christmas, birthdays, etc. If you know whether they need a bedroom suite then give them money for that (if you can afford it) or, if you are pinched for finances then give them what you can afford and they can either put it towards their honeymoon or keep it to save up for something they want.

How di you get married to an inmate in California state prison?

first of all you shouldn't, did you know that lots of inmates are HIV / hepatitis positive?? Most women who do this, do it in order to qualify for welfare benefits. Get a job, even Min. Wage if necessary, and find a decent man to marry, one who you can trust any children that you currently have, or who may come along at a later date. You are their protector. Starting a relationship with someone in a prison isn't safe for you or your children. A Prison Counselor

What are the rules governing a Roman Catholic wedding ceremony when the groom is a confirmed non-practicing RC and the bride is Protestant?

This is a complicated matter which should be referred to one's pastor. If the wedding took place in the groom's church without a "dispensation from canonical form" coming from the bride's bishop (by way of her own pastor), then the wedding would be considered null and void in the eyes of the Church. Catholics are obliged to be married according to canonical form, that is 1) before their own pastor or a priest/deacon delegated by him, 2) according to the rite of the Church, and 3) before witnesses. This obligation can be dispensed by the bishop for good reason. If you have been working with a Catholic priest to prepare your wedding, then I would hope and presume the priest would have seen to having this done. To disregard this obligation to be married under 'canoncial form' or to fail to seek a dispensation from 'canonical form' risks an invalid marriage and is thus "serious matter" for the confessional. One who finds herself/himself in this condition should not be receiveing Holy Communion until it is resolved and one is given the 'all clear' from her/his confessor. Where would one go from here based on this scenario? More than likely, this marriage can be "convalidated" in the Church where one forms a new marriage covenant before a priest/deacon in proper (valid) form. Alternatively, it might be possible for this marriage to be declared sanated (that is, 'healed') by a declaration of Church authority, which would not require the new expression of consent. Again, your local Catholic pastor is the one who can and will lead you through this process. This would be the same procedure if a Catholic married in a courthouse without dispensation from form, or if one were married before a priest without jurisdiction (for example, a "Rent-a-Priest" who has left the priesthood or the jurisdiction of a diocese and claims to do "Catholic Weddings" on the side), or the case you present. All bets are off if there are previous marriages for either the bride or the groom. Previous marriages would need to be addressed before this marriage could be regularized in the Church. Obviously if both parties are not Catholic, they are not bound by Catholic law and can marry freely and validly (which, actually, makes it more difficult to declare these marriages 'null' if one of the parties would later want to contract marriage with a Catholic following a civil divorce). If a Catholic leaves the Church through a formal act, they are not bound by canoncial form and can enter this kind of marriage validly. (Of course, there would be great spiritual peril of leaving the Church altogether, but that's a whole other discussion.) Again, this is not the forum to receive proper pastoral care for these matters. Call your Catholic pastor and work with him. (And if you are unable to work with him or things don't seem to be getting done, find another priest you know and can trust to be your advocate in this important process.)

Who pays for guests to attend an out of state wedding?

These days there is no hard and fast rule about who is expected to pay for the hotel accommodations.

While it is wonderful if the bride & groom (or their families) can pay for the hotel, it is very common now that the guests themselves pay.

To help ease this burden, there are several ways to help the guests who may be coming from out of town.

-choose a hotel close to the venue to minimize transportation costs (some hotels are willing to shuttle the guests)

-many hotels will give you a discounted rate on a block of rooms for special events

-goodie bags waiting for them (tourist info, snacks, etc.) in the room are a special way to say thank you for the effort.

-having a brunch or other special meal with the bridal party and all out of town guests is also a great way to get a little extra quality time in with the people who had to make the extra effort to be at the wedding (a great time to catch up and let them feel extra special!)

What if mother of bride wears purple what color should mother of groom wear?

Who should host the rehearsal dinner for a wedding?

Does the groom pay for the bridal bouquet?

There are no particular rules regarding this, despite the list in the wedding books. You should discuss costs of the wedding with your intended.

Where as it is tradition of the brides parents to pay for the entire wedding (this includes wedding flowers) the grooms parents may offer to pay for something such as wedding flowers. It may seem rude to reject such a generous gift. With that said, there is no obligation for the grooms parents to pay for anything.

Answer

If either set of parents wishes to pay for any portion of wedding expenses, they will offer it to the couple. Unless/until that happens, the couple is on their own.

Do bridesmaids pay for hair and make up?
