[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again, and wow, this thread got out of hand quick. Thanks to all for the valuable suggestions. Not sure they will be offended, but they will definitely want us to stay altogether. Unless we hit the lottery between now and then, that won't be happening and I am sure we won't be the only ones.

I don't plan to make a big deal out of it. They know our financial situation, in that they are aware that we make WAY less than them. I don't think they care; they are extreme narcissists. Anyways, they are wrapped up in their lives, as we are wrapped up in ours. I am going to assume they will offer several places to choose from to stay, but if they do not, I will be armed with that before I get the invite.

We are religious, but I would never throw that in their face. They waste plenty of money, but I wouldn't say that either. They are always buying new cars and gadgets and clothes and renovating their house and traveling the world (quite literally). I don't want to insult them; this whole trip is about the happy couple.

We will find something that works for us and do the best we can. We want to be there, so we will be there. But I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little miffed at spending what we'll be spending on a hotel, travel, etc. and then being expected to give an expensive gift too. We'll probably just do cash; they already have everything.

[/quote]Sounds like you have a good attitude, OP.  Good luck and have fun![/quote]
