Most wedding etiquette books state very clearly what should be paid for by the groom's family and what should be paid for by the bride's family, and though the bride's family is expected to pay for some of the more expensive items (catering, venue, etc.), there are quite a few things the Groom's family is expected to pay for (honeymoon, rehearsal dinner, etc.). I can see where you're coming from though, in most of the situations I've come across, the Groom's family doesn't throw in their fair share, so I suppose I can see where someone might get that idea.
