[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I are in our 50s. When we got married in our 30s, neither of our parents planned to pay for our wedding and we would not have asked them to do so. Ultimately, my parents ended up contributing certain things. We paid for a lot ourselves. His parents invited more than 250 people so he basically told them if that was the kind of list they wanted, they need to contribute (our guest list was 450 total). My guess is we paid 50% and each set of parents contributed about 25%. [b]We did cake and finger foods at the church for hundreds of people and then an actual party later that night that only about 85 people were invited to attend. [/b]The fact my in-laws wanted to invite their entire small town of 300 people is now hilarious, but was sort of annoying at the time.

I don’t even think about whether I will pay for my kid’s wedding. Fewer people are even bothering to get married. And we could be dead before she gets married. We will play it by ear.[/quote]

That's rude.[/quote]
