Question
My son is getting married out of town. Are we suppose to pay for the rooms for
the groomsmen?
Dear Sue,
No, you aren't responsible for their rooms. However, if you are in a position to help them out, I'm sure it would be appreciated.
Here's a list that should help you.
Groom/family pays for:
Brides engagement/wedding rings.
Marriage License.
Ceremony official's fee (many times the bride’s family will pay this as well.)
(Going-away corsage for the bride if leaving directly on their honeymoon.)
Wedding gift for bride.
Gifts for best man and ushers
Wedding night suite
Rehearsal dinner
Honeymoon
Blood tests
Gloves, ties, and ascots for men in wedding party.
Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
