Groom’s side pays reversal dinner and wedding bar.

The bride's family pays for all costs of the wedding. The groom's family pays for the rehearsal dinner. Asking guests to pay for drinks at the reception is tacky.

I want your answer as to the custom and not what you did or your family did because the other side was poor or Baptist and refused to buy the alcohol. I don’t care that you had keystone and not Coors or Michelob or that you had taaka and not grey goose.

By the way, I’ve been married for 15 years and my wife’s side paid for the alcohol. There was never even a question about this.

When our daughter gets married, I see it as our responsibility.
When our son got t married, brides family paid for beer and wine.
Next son is getting married and she/him are paying for the wedding so they’re paying.
I do have friends who’ve been asked as the parents of the groom to pay for the alcohol. And they did. It was a lot a lot.

20 years ago when me and my friends were getting married, all reception items were paid by the bride and the rehearsal dinner was paid by the groom.
I have a young male cousin getting married in the spring and I was just informed that his parents had to pay for the alcohol at the reception. That's definitely something that has come up in the past 20 years as far as I know.

A reversal dinner sounds amazing.

Well, I don’t think anyone would argue that.

The people getting married.
Her side, or your side ... Pathetic.
Be adults, pay for your own shite.

How about this: the bride and the groom pay for everything.

Groom:
Bride wedding ring
Rehearsal dinner
Majority of honeymoon (by this I mean many use some gifts from wedding to supplement)
Bride:
Wedding
Wedding dress
Reception including alcohol
Grooms wedding band

is the bride’s side or the groom’s side customarily responsible to pay for the alcohol at the wedding reception?
Traditionally the groom’s family pays for alcohol for the reception. Been to weddings from Alabama to California and this was always the case.

Id rather just elope and get a generous dowry. Why don't we do dowries anymore? Us men should get something for taking on the financial burden of another man's daughter.

I’ve never heard of the grooms side paying for alcohol. Around here, the reception halls , etc are paid for by the brides family and alcohol is almost always included in the packages for the event.

Its is included but you have different tiers and its itemized. It isn't hard for the grooms family to put up the money for just the alcohol

it's the bride's side that pays, but the groom's side should provide a man to operate the keg tap.

Traditionally, the bride.

That said, my husband & I paid for our own wedding ....
That said we took all that money that would have been wasted in 3 hours and put a small down payment on our first house which a few years later we sold and put the appreciated gains on another house without PMI which eventually lead to a few more homes and after 25 years to having no mortgage which is 1000% better than some photos we might or might not ever look at!!
