you do not need to follow any tradition the traditions are very outdated and were in effect when the bride’s parents were the hosts and paid for the wedding. Do your own thing.
Traditionally the brides parents pay for the wedding. In todays world, alot of brides and grooms have to save up for this, if it is not offered by the brides parents. Some families do not have the money, some do not agree with the choice of husband, some women have not been very failthful to the family so the family in turn does not feel that they need to provide this. A wedding reception can cost a hundred bucks at a park, a few thousand at a reception hall or many thousands at a nice hotel. My coworker saved for two years before getting married. My other coworker spent 25 thousand on her wedding, to me that was a waste. Most marriages are not lasting that long, and the wedding itself has nothing to do with happiness unless you saddle your selves with unnecassary bills and credit card debt.
There are many websites, that even have info and planners where you place down all your info to keep track of it. Your other questions, need to be discussed with his family, as far as what his mother want to do. Would she delight in helping you with invitations, would she like to help you look at what kinds of things to serve at your reception. You need to set a budget that is realistic. You need to only question people in your wedding party who can afford to buy thier own dress………some assume you will………..some grooms men do not realize they have to pay for their tux, so be realistic when selecting such things as to the budgets of what your friends can afford. It is tough on a friendship if you “invite” them to drop 150.00 to 500.00 on a dress or suit, so be kind here. The bride usually buys a thank you gift for her bridesmaids, and groomsmen, he can pay for his part of the groomsmen gifts.
Just because traditions say this goes this way, in todays world, it is not to be presumed anyone is doing anything for you. Plot what you want, mention things to people, but let them offer. Set up realistic bridal registries and let people know what you need for your household. Make sure you list lots of small items for those who dont have the money to buy something expensive too. Get a bridal registry at a store your family and friends can afford, and you may or may not get any items from it, but it is a excellent option to email friends.

First, do some reading at the Knot. Use their wedding checklist.
See traditions here:

Bride and/or groom do not host pre-wedding parties. Bridal showers and bachelorette parties can be hosted by bridesmaids, godmothers, aunts, cousins, coworkers, and other assorted friends and family. They are never hosted by bride, or groom, or their mothers.
Engagement parties are optional, not a necessity. They are usually hosted by parents, or grandparents, or aunts, or uncles, or older siblings.
If no one hosts a pre-wedding party for you? That is fine. Many brides do not have pre-wedding parties. They survive and go on to have perfectly lovely weddings.
Concentrate on plotting wedding and reception. And yes, those are just traditional guidelines above. If groom’s family wishes to help you, please allow them to do so. Your groom’s mother may delight in helping you a bit.
Traditionally, the bride’s family plotted and paid for most of the wedding. (This has changed dramatically over the years as many couples are financially established when they wed–it is not like the days when people married at 17 or 18.) Traditionally, the groom’s family plotted and paid for the rehearsal dinner. Again, many people do not feel tied to this tradition as the couple usually is in a financial situation to cover their own expenses. The bride typically has a pretty huge role in plotting the wedding and making decisions about the bridesmaids’ dresses, her own gown, etc. I’m not sure what the groom is usually responsible for. Really, there are so many different ways to have weddings. There is no one right way. Some have simple ceremonies in a park, on a beach, etc. Some have low key receptions. Some use a gorgeous church, an elaborate reception, use a wedding planner to orchestrate things for them, etc.
Traditionall the Bride’s family takes care of the wedding and reception, The Grooms takes care of the rehearsal dinner, the bride attends a bridal shower and an optional bachelorette party, the groom attends an optional bachelor party. the bridal party (bridesmaid, maid of honor, as well as the bride and groom, and occasionally bride and grooms mothers) plot the wedding and reception.
But, in my case, my man and I will be paying for and plotting our own rehearsal dinner, wedding, and reception without financial help from others. If someone wants there to be other parties they are in charge, but we don’t expect them.
talk to each family and see if they are interested in helping out financially. then set a budget. then go to theknot.com and start plotting.
