Re: Overwhelmed
In my experience, whoever is hosting the event pays for it. If the girl’s parents are sending out the invites listing themselves as hosts, if 99% of the guests are from the girl’s side, and the girl’s side is making all the major decisions (date, venue, food, music, time etc.)…then they pay.
But I’ve seen mehendi’s where costs are split BUT those also included both sets of parents names on the invite and there are guests from both sides of the family, and guy’s family had a say in choosing venue, food, decor etc.
