[quote=Anonymous]Haven’t read 12 pages of replies, but I was that future DIL. Grandparents overseas flew everyone in the family over every other year. After two years of dating, while we were still in college no less, I was invited on the trips. I didn’t get a say in the plans, but I was welcome and I still appreciate how welcoming and generous they were. It also gave me the chance to get to know them, and them me. I’m much closer to his extended family than I would be otherwise because those trips gave me 20+ years of shared history in the pre-kid years. So invite her and pay, OP. The benefits for your potential future relationship far outweigh the risk of money lost if they don’t end up marrying. Parent-adult child is for lunch dates and activities, not for “family” time where you’re cutting out what your grown child considers his family now.[/quote]
