That really is nothing compared to what the couples get now. I don't know what my sister got but she had 200 people at her reception so I know it was alot more than $10,000. That was why I was saying that people give the money to help out the couple. We used half for some of our downpayment on our house.
Dh's parents through us an engagement party - I'd never met any of his childhood friends, his extended family, nor his parents' friends b/c we grew up on opposite coasts. While I didn't necessarily want an engagement party, it was more for his parents than us.
Every wedding I've ever been to has been open bar for the entire reception. Maybe it's because my friends/family like to drink (and many of 'em are Irish LOL).
Really? My sister always gives out ziploc/glad containers at the end of the night and no one has ever said no. Maybe we are just a bunch of eaters-lol!!
