[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]General thought: When I was a kid, many people had weddings where they invited lots of people. At the reception, they served punch, mints, tea sandwiches and wedding cake.  No DJs, no plated meals — just people happy to support the new couple.

I’m curious. Usually the bride’s family is more active in planning things than the groom’s, and, unless something has changed, you know that the groom’s family isn’t in a position to provide much financial assistance.  Given that this wedding would involve travel, would you be happier if your son had been included, along with maybe a dozen other kids close to the couple, and the reception was a short one, in the church hall, with platters of tea sandwiches and glasses of punch?

I’m asking this seriously. If that’s what their budget would allow them to provide for a larger guest list, would your next post be about how lovely this was and how pleased your son was to be included?  Would it be grumbles about how you paid for plane tickets, hotel rooms, a rental car and a nice gift — only to be served a few small sandwiches and nonalcoholic punch? Something else?
