[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP- I didn’t read all the posts but this happened to me. My parents paid for the wedding. We had a number that DH and I agreed to with my parents. We can up with our guest list with family first. I have a very large extended family.  DH wanted to invite all his friends. His parents are not close with their family (though they were all invited) but are very tight with their friends. They offered to pay for their extra friends. Thankfully the venue could accommodate the number. My parents declined their offer to pay for the additional couples but DH and I took on some additional costs (flowers/ music) to even things out.

DH was likely the most irritated with his parents. My parents were fine for the most part. After a few years, I understood were my ILs were coming from. They really are closer than family.

I agree with one of the threads from earlier. Just ask DS and fiancée. Offer to pay and see how it goes. People just can’t handle conflict and get bent out of shape so easily. [/quote]

I think if you’re going to offer to pay it has to be half the wedding. Anything less is rude AF[/quote]
