[quote=Anonymous]We split the wedding costs three ways. My (bride's) parents said we can give you $10k.  So my ILs said we will give you 10k and not a penny more. (Meanwhile DH and I paid the rest, which was like 40k.)  ILs have a huge family, my family is tiny.  We invited his entire enormous family but not many extra friends (to be fair, they don't have any close friends. We invited everyone they originally proposed.)

later, they got mad that my parents invited "so many" friends on top of their family guests.  It was only like 18 people on top of about 8 family members, but they were enraged.  They wanted to be allowed to invite an equal number of friends as my parents, despite the fact they already had incited over 100 family members.  His mom was trying to add people on the list who she couldn't even remember their last names. It was ridiculous.

For the RH dinner, we had a set guest limit due to the size of the place.  After subtracting the wedding party and parents, we divided the remaining guest slots equally.  It so happened that my parents were able to invite basically everyone they invited to the wedding to the RH with their alloted #.  His parents couldn't, obviously, as they had over 100 family members alone.  His parents were so mad....they wanted more spots. 
 
Also his parents were FURIOUS that my brother was in the wedding party but none of his relatives were.  Totally my DH's choice, I thought it was lovely but in now way instigated it.   [/quote]
