[quote=Anonymous]I agree that you should send a text at this point. I also think that when there are strained relationships that are sensitive abut stuff like this it is very difficult to go in on something like you have described. About the only way I would do it to avoid the potential blowouts is to say something like: I will need everyone's checks by x date so I can pay the deposit/downpayment or else this is a no go. Then I would set the date a week before it needs to be there so you can make deposit, let the funds clear etc. I run a business and this is how I handle clients that are going in on joint payments for events who dont know each other. I just did this last week and only had to remind one of them out of 5. I then deposited the funds and drew up a cashiers check to protect in case of bouncing. I have never had bouncing but it might happen at some point I guess. The cashiers check is the only way I am willing to protect the project from falling through and at my bank it is free. I feel like something bouncing for one of our events would reflect so badly on my business that I have taken this extra measure for this reason. I never offer to cover for anyone upfront EVER. It allows people to be lazy. So basically I would treat it as a business transaction. This way if one of your siblings needs some leeway for some unforeseen reason, they might write you and explain and ask for help rather than just TAKE it and annoy the crap out of you. [/quote]
