[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Basic life rule, don't invite people unless your are prepared to pay for them.  I wouldn't even think of asking them to pay for anything.[/quote]

What planet are you from? This is not a “basic life rule” anywhere. [/quote]

We were raised differentially.   It is called hosting, if you are hosting you pay.  Especially when is a celebration for someone in YOUR family.

You pay the hotel bills of ALL the people visiting you? So if your child gets married, you will pay the hotel costs for all the guests? [/quote]

I said you should be prepared to pay for them.

And yes if I invite someone to something like a graduation for my kid.  I would pay their way.  If I couldn’t afford it.  I wouldn’t invite them.

If I invite people to dinner, I pay the bill.

So you would pay for all the guests—friends & family—that attend your child’s wedding. At the very least, you would foot their travel and lodging (“I would pay their way.”)

Like the other poster said, I don’t believe you. [/quote]

Again as I said prepared to pay the bill.

For our wedding we made sure there was real food available all of the time over a 3 day period.  The two hotels we had room blocks at we kept a tab open for guests to use.

Everyone that would be flying in we reached out to and told them that we would really like them to attend and would like to cover the cost of their flights.  One family or three took us up on that.

We reached out to everyone about accommodations and let them know about rooms blocks and told them that if they didn’t want to pay for rooms we had some extra rooms they could use.   We ended up covering be cost for 6 couples.  4 at hotel 2 in rooms at a house nearby we had rented for grandparents.[/quote]

This is dumb and nobody believes it, so just stop.[/quote]
