[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents gave both my brother and I $35k each for our weddings - no gender difference, which I think is the right thing to do. My husband’s parents gave us $15K but gave his sister substantially more for her wedding. [/quote] My parents and my husband's parents gave us $10k each for our wedding. I think we paid for our own "rehearsal" dinner - which was just pizza and drinks at my cousin's house. We weren't earning much - we were both journalists at the time, and I still had a sh** ton of student loans. No savings. So these gifts made our wedding possible, and we were very grateful for them. It was a VERY casual wedding, and we loved it. My dress was $400 from Nordstroms. I think like PPs are saying - if a set of parents feels very strongly that a wedding has to be bigger or fancier than what the couple/whoever is paying wants or can do, they are welcome to contribute more to get that.[/quote]
