[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If her friend has no money to throw the party, how is a friend throwing a party and OP just being a co host who offered the venue? If I am reading this right, friend told OP what kind of food to get, and what beer FIL is to get, but I don't see any mention of this friend offering to pay for anything. Call me old fashioned, but throwing somebody a party means you pay for good chunk of that party. [/quote]

Agree. OP, your update explains that you are apparently expected to pay? You need to discuss with the friend what she's going to pay for, and you are entitled to have input into the food, drink, etc., if you're footing most of the bill. And friend can certainly do some of the shopping when she's here, or get the decorations in advance and bring them or have them sent to your house in advance. Figure out what you want to spend on this, and then keep things/the friend within that budget. [/quote]

Stop going through SIL, you are just muddying the waters. Call this friend directly and discuss what she can pay/be responsible for. If it's nothing, I don't see how she is a host at all...[/quote]
