My FILs have offered to pay for the rehearsal dinner. They dont live close by, so I am in charge of visiting places and setting it up, etc. So we found a place they agreed to and I met w/ the place today. The place charges per hour for beer/wine (or mixed drinks but they do not want to include those). Anyway, FMIL told me 2 hrs for alcohol was fine. Speaking to the lady at the venue today, she said that would really not work since people would be cut off 1/2 way thru the dinner buffet and it would look kinda rude/rushed. I agree. It is a few extra dollars per person (around $5) for about 25 people. Would it be rude of me to ask FILs if they would be willing to extend the extra hour or if they dont want to, wouldit be rush to say thats fine and FI & I will pay for the additional hour? I mean in the course of paying for everything, I dont think another $125 is gonna kill us, so we r fine paying for it. Oh, and I will be having FI discuss this w/ them not me so it should come off better I think that way
