So I've been lurking here for a while, but never posted, however even i know this: if you wanted pleasant and for everyone to play nice, you posted on the wrong board! These ladies will give it to you straight, there' s no coddling here!

And Thank god for that! Because if I read one more post from another spoiled princess about their elaborate wedding, I would lose it without this board! Thanks for keeping everyone in line ladies!

Fine. I call skanky. Fits me to a tee.

Hey. Speaking of skanky, snarfy and snarkly, what ever came of the renaming the board thing?

I'm in the same boat. My FILs aren't contributing anything to our wedding. It sucks, because unfortunately my parents are getting the brunt of the bill. We're doing our best to help, but it's not easy. I feel your pain

If they are insisting on a larger wedding without contributing, tell them tough. If they want the extra family members then they can contribute. It's one of the reasons my FIL started to contribute. They wanted 2nd and 3rd cousins invited while they may not have been in the budget. Now that we have a larger budget, they can be invited.

This has probably been said a million times already, but how could you even think of asking them for more money? My FIL's have generously offered to pay for our rehersal dinner (my parents are paying for everything else: not because I expected them too but because they approached us after we got engaged and told us they would like to pay for it). I can't tell you how grateful I am that my FIL's offered to pay for the rehersal dinner. When you think about the guest list (often anyone involved in the ceremony and out of town guests who arrive early) you could wind up with quite a large list. In our case since most of our guests are OOT, my FIL's will probably end up hosting about 50 people.

If I were you I would be grateful that your loved ones have generously offered to pay for your wedding and rehersal dinner and not ask for a penny more.
