Traditional Chinese is the groom's family pays for everything..... I was lucky I got my FIL to pay for everything up front and used the gift money to pay him back (we came out about $1000 ahead).

Asians and their fucking math.
Congrats!
I don't think the Bride's family pays for anything, at least those super traditional ones.
Not sure how traditional your gf's family is, I figure you 2 will try to pay for everything yourself. Chinese banquets are alot more affordable than even the shittiest "American" receptions.
Pay for your own fucking wedding, baller.
Ah, see you've become too American. Western brides families pay for everything and the bride does nothing. Eastern brides families pay for nothing and the bride does everything and stays two steps behind!
Lucky them. They are traditional but not super traditional that its followed by the T. But yes, we will try and pay for everything ourself considering we dont have a place of our own yet. So our money saved will go towards that and than a house.
Definitely Chinese banquet. I rather pay per table than per plate. We dont plan on going over board with stuff. Keep it nice but simple and cheap at the same time.
Congratulations! Post lots of pics!
