So when my fiance's sister got married a year ago her father gave her $10,000 for the wedding plus a nice wedding gift. Now that me and her brother are getting married in Feb - we've gotten nothing. My fiance thinks his father will give us a generous gift since we are registered for our honeymoon. But my question is this - would it be terribly rude to bring up his father contributing towards a rehersal dinner? Etiquette says that "Father pays for the wedding (which he did for the sister) and that Father of the Groom pays for rehersal dinner.
Any thoughts? Since we are three months out and he hasn't offered to we just go ahead and foot the bill?
Both my FSIL and FI get along the same with their father. Its not like there is a favored child I just think that she had the guts to ask for help and we haven't. And he is very, very well off by the way.
I'm not trying to be greedy either its just that without some help, our rehersal dinner will literally have to be at our place home cooked or a local pizza joint.
