[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 690312, member: 12570"] My daughter and I have spoken at length about this. Her mother and I are giving them $5K each (the ex hinted that she is willing to go to $6K as am I). That is their budget and Megan and James understand that and know that they have to either work within that or the balance comes out of their pocket. They are also hoping to buy a house shortly thereafter so I have told her (after checking with the ex) that we will still give them the $10K ($12K?) and that perhaps they should cut back on some of the extras. They have everything that they need to set up their house as they have been living together for several years so they are hoping that the wedding guests will give them cash. My ex is spreading the word around on her side of the family and James' sister is doing the same on his side of the family that the kids want cash. Don't get me wrong, I don't want them to have a WalMart wedding, but I can assure you that Vera Wang will not be getting an invite either. [/QUOTE]
