[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes to hostess gift. If she's from a different region of the country from them, maybe a hometown favorite candy.  Flowers can also be nice assuming no allergies and a convenient place to buy them.  Another nice thought might be a boardgame that the parents and young couple can play together - if there's one the parents won't have.

Unless these people are incredibly rich, [b]I would not expect them to pay for lift tickets, rentals, and slopeside meals for a guest.

We invited my daughter's boyfriend on a family trip to Europe and paid for everything - his plane tickets, hotels, meals, etc.  And we are definitely not UMC.  I would never invite someone and then expect them to pay their way.  That's just rude.[/quote]

If you are taking a family trip to Europe, with or without a random boyfriend, you are definitely upper middle class. [/quote]
