Wedding now much to give DS and DDIL to be?

[JellyNo15]

They are just starting to plan wedding. It is going to be an average budget and we want to help them financially. How much does an "average wedding" cost and how much is it "usually" for the groom's parents to chip in?

Internet tells me 16k including engagement ring and honeymoon.

I don’t think there is an average. Pay for whatever you can afford to offer all your children.

There will be a huge variation, so just decide a sum you're happy with (and can comfortably afford for any other children as well) and go with it. Some pay for a particular item, but personally I think it's easier to give them the cash and then they don't need to figure out your budget when they're picking!
