[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it depends on if you want any kind of relationship with your son and his future children. It would be really hard to say that we paid for your sister and you get nothing and then expect him to be fine with that. [/quote] My ILs did this. My MiL was quite emphatic, "we already paid for your sister - that's how it works." This was an unsolicited comment. We didn't expect them to contribute - or that they would contribute - so we budgeted/planned accordingly. My parents made a very modest contribution as that's what they could afford. My MiL later made an offhand comment that the only people who should be listed on the invitation are the ones paying for the event. It was clear in her world that my parents' modest money didn't merit a mention. I also think this may be generational and that my ILs would've handled it differently 30 years later - maybe still not have contributed, but not have been so vocal about it. [/quote]
