[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So OP - are you convinced?  Or are you like my MIL who insists that she's right on everything even if everyone around her disagrees?[/quote]

DH and I are still hurt. If everyone is saying though, that this is proper then it must be so. For us, to give $1500 is a lot. Also please keep in mind that we are spending a lot more than that on [b][u]passports, outfits, our other child, flights, hotels, etc[/u][/b]. This is not simply pulling out the dress I wear to each local wedding and spending one weekend day attending festivities. [/quote]

These are just part and parcel of what it costs to [u]attend[/u] a long-distance wedding.  These are your costs as a [u]guest[/u].  If you are saying that these costs therefore entitle you to be named as [u]hosts[/u] of this affair, then every single guest would therefore be counted as a host or hostess of the wedding? See how this is kind of silly and ridiculous?

On a related note, if you think that a contribution of $1500 matters in the grand scheme of things in hosting a wedding, you likely have not planned a wedding in a long time.  This is probably less than 10% of their total costs.  Therefore, it still does not count you as one of the hosts.  Therefore, you are not named on the wedding invitation.

On a final note, you are the one who asked them to do this in the first place!  Therefore, it comes across as a bit "rich" to then complain about all this!  [/quote]
