All the people in the wedding party pay for their own...after YOU pick it out.
The men rent their own Tuxes. And the women buy theires or pay to have it made.

the bridesmaids pay for their own dresses
the groomsmen pay for their own tuxedos
grooms parents for the rehearsal dinner
bride for the bridesmaids jewelry (usually given as a gift, but shouldn't be the only gift)
groom gets gifts for groomsmen
bride pays for grooms wedding band
groom pays for brides wedding band
brides parents pay for just about everything else

but if other people want to pay - or if some of these people can't pay - it's not a big deal if it changes

Depending on budget, it's most likely that the bridal party all pay for their own outfit.

the bride & family pays for: groom's ring, own wedding dress, accessories, photographer, flowers, programs, invitations/announcements, bridal party transportation, reception, alter decoration, rented goods, music and food. also buys gift for groom, and bride's maids and parents

the groom & family pays for: bride's ring, engagement ring, engagement party, rehearsal dinner, marriage licenses, groomsmen accessories and gifts, mother's corsages, honeymoon, fees of priest/rabbi, and groom's cake

hope this helps.

The bridal party pays for their own stuff...The people getting married for there own wedding unless the parents or whomever wants to help...it should not be expected.

http://www.drdaveanddee.com/weddinggroom.html
http://wedding.weddingchannel.com/articles/experts/beverly_clark/who_pays_for_what.asp

See the traditional breakdown of expenses at sites above. Attendants usually pay for their own attire. As one site says:
Attendants usually pay for
Wedding attire for themselves.
Any travel expenses.
Wedding gift for bride and groom.
Showers given by maid of honor or bridesmaids.
Bachelor party given by best man or ushers.

As for the rest? Nowadays, I think most folks agree that if bride and groom are mature enough to wed, then bride and groom are mature enough to pay for their own wedding.

Families may want to help. Then bride and groom have the option of gratefully accepting their aid or the option of graciously declining.

If one accepts financial assistance with wedding expenses, then one usually also has to accept input on decisions from the contributing family member.

Good luck.

Traditionally: The bride's family pays for the the wedding. This includes church, pastor, dress, etc etc & the reception

The groom's father pays for the rehearsal dinner

This applies to "well to do" families and is popular in movies and bridal magazines. However, 80 percent of the time the couple decides to have "their" wedding. Here they pick a place to get married in - either a church, park, even a school - some place personal to them. Dress becomes a matter of choice. An outdoor wedding might request quests to dress in Flannel shirts & jeans followed by a pig roast. Such personalized weddings are the most memorable and the most enjoyable

The couple pays for everything except for the attire for the wedding party. If their parents chip in for anything, that's a lovely and generous gift, but it is certainly not required. Anyone who is adult enough to be married is old enough to pay for their own wedding.

Traditionally the bridesmaids and groomsmen pay for their own attire. The grooms parents pay for the rehearsal dinner and the brides parents pay for the ceremony and reception.
