[quote=Anonymous]After seeing a huge big fat wedding recently, we know that for our DD's wedding we will only pay for our guests, guests of our children + the nuclear family of the groom/bride(if needed). The groom and his family can pay for their side of guests. Else, you will have resentment for everything you spend on. Same goes for my DS. We get the guests, we pay. Culturally, different families value different things. The trick is to have a frank conversation at the onset and work out the numbers with both sets of parents and bride and groom. Frankly, if the couple would rather spend their money on the honeymoon and want a backyard ceremony, I am all for it. If one set of parents want events and ceremonies they care about, then they should pay for it. And they are not obligated to invite guests from the other side. I will pay the same for both my DS and DD. Same goes for giving help for down-payment or for looking after their children. [/quote]
