[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 445815, member: 4264"] I'm sorry that it was assumed you'd all have the funds to spend on this type of reception. Perhaps you could send a very nice email back saying how grateful mother in law must be for his hard work in this difficult time etc etc. Tell him that the reception sounds lovely and that in different circumstances you'd be happy to chip in, however XYZ has been going on and your personal finances are currently at a all time low and the funds simply are not there to chip in. Don't make excuses nor apologize, just keep it as worded above, how you aren't in a position at this time. Its a tough thing. Yet if you don't have it, you don't have it. And no need for family drama around it, it isn't as if you and husband want to NOT help if you COULD help. The truth is at this point in time, the funds do not exist. [/QUOTE]
