[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. First of all, I left cousin a message that we are disappointed but understand and if she changes her mind I suggested a place to stay away from downtown but don’t expect a change in heart.

For context this cousin was my maid of honor and godparent to DD. Yes it’s “just” a HS graduation but DD is an only child [b]so we don’t ask a lot from family. [/b]This is a party for family and close friends at our house. We decided to do it because we want DD to see the support she has and appreciate her accomplishment before moving forward to college. Not a “money grab.” Please, can’t we celebrate our children without questioning motives?[/quote]

Here is part of the problem - you are not asking your family to do something for you.  You are inviting them to a celebration.  It isn't a favor, or an obligation.  [/quote]

+1. An invitation is not a summons except apparently at your house. And judging by your posts, I get the distinct impression you ask plenty of your family. [/quote]
