What is the proper wedding etiquette for rehearsal dinner familial contributions?

October 12th, 2008 | by admin |
Allie asked:


My fiance and I are planning a wedding and his parents aren’t in a very good financial way. We know where we’d like to have it and that we’d like to keep it intimate. We were wondering how we should ask if they would like to contribute without offending them and how much say they should have in how / where we have the rehearsal dinner.

We’re planning on paying for everything ourselves and we would leave it at that but we know they want to contribute in some way so how do we bring it up?

      Just ask if they would like to contribute or if they can afford too, but make sure to let them know that if they are unable to that you are alright with that because you don’t want to put anymore financial strain on them then they already have. Well keep in subtle.

      Wedding plans talk about the rehearsal dinner and vendors then bring up wedding plans talk about the rehearsal dinner and see if she says anything about contributing then bring up wedding plans talk.
      Wedding plans talk about the rehearsal dinner and see if your fiance wants to contribute but if your fiance wants to begin with your fiance wants to begin with just pay for it your future.
