Whether the bride of a joint marriage should pay for the banquet depends mainly on local customs and discussions between the two families. Generally, it is divided into two parts: both parties share the cost, the groom pays or the bride pays. Both parties hold a banquet together, with the bride and groom each receiving half of the banquet fee, and each holding their own gift money. If the groom or bride has better economic conditions, one party can also bear the wedding banquet alone.
Precautions for hosting banquets
1. Booking time for hotels
For couples who hold banquets in hotels during the peak wedding season, it is necessary to book hotels in advance, especially for some well-known hotels in cities, which may require booking seats six months in advance. If you want to celebrate good days such as National Day, you may need to book it a year in advance.
2. Banquet requirements
When making reservations for a banquet, it is important to clearly state the requirements for the host's table, and there are no specific requirements for other tables.
3. Arrange guest positions
It is recommended to arrange seats for guests in advance on the day of the banquet. Some relatives and friends who do not have a very harmonious relationship should not be arranged to sit together, so as to avoid them getting drunk and causing trouble.
4. The dishes at the banquet
When choosing dishes, be sure not to choose some flashy dishes, such as Lucky Sea Fresh or Dragon Phoenix Hundred Year Reunion, because these are likely to be made with ordinary ingredients that look good but taste bad. Therefore, newcomers must look at the ingredients of the dishes.
5. Hotel service fee
Ask about the price of each service in the hotel, such as tea, beer, bottle opening fee, soda, Dim sum and all service fees, so as to avoid finding hidden consumption when making payment at that time, which may cause confusion with the hotel.
6. Sign the hotel contract
To protect one's rights and interests, all fees and service scope must be detailed in the hotel's reservation contract, without any evidence, to prevent the hotel from defaulting.
