[quote=Anonymous]Just noting here that one problem with the parents offering what money they can afford -- while making sure that it should cover all the guests that they might want to invite -- is that the parents will not be prioritizing the money in the same way as the kids will be. So they might think $20K is plenty to cover their 100 family members, but actually the kids think it's more important to have the wedding in a fancy location and get a special band to play the reception, which will cut down on the amount of money left to cover a large guest list. Just realize going in that your priorities will be different and you can't get what you necessarily expect. That might be something you want to discuss with the kids -- whether or not you can give the money with certain strings attached re guests. Not sure you can even really do this, but otherwise there is a lot of room not to get what you expected.[/quote]
