[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Different people have different traditions - for some the person whose birthday it is pays, in others they should never pay. All of these are fine.

What isn't fine is being a pain in the neck and making a big fuss about the bill. Either go and go graciously, paying whatever is needed, or, if money is really an issue, make an excuse and opt out. Don't complicate people's lives.[/quote]
Asking the organizer who is a family member how the bill will be paid is not being a pain in the neck or making a big fuss or complicating people’s lives. It. Is. A. Question.[/quote]

It’s more than that because she is putting a restriction on what she will contribute for the guest who has the birthday.[/quote]
No, it’s not more than that. Once OP understands how the bill will be paid then OP can decide whether the evening fits in with her budget and can accept or decline based on that.[/quote]

It’s literally more than that.  She 1) wants a separate bill and 2) is only willing to commit a certain dollar amount to the guest with the birthday.[/quote]
