So my parents offered to put X amount towards the wedding. I did not expect them to do this and I am more than grateful. My dilemma is that I want to ask for some of that money to put down the deposit on our venue and I’m just not sure how to go about it. My current idea is to invite them to meet us at the venue and bring the money for the deposit. That way they can see what their money is going towards and feel apart of it. or if they don’t want to come I can just go get it. I guess i’m not sure how to properly phrase the question.
I’m also worried they will be upset about the final cost of the venue. They’ve said things like “the weddings only one day you’ll regret not having that money later” and “ “my dress was only $200 I got it used from a friend and it was perfect” ect..
I appreciate them helping out so much, and I don’t want them to feel like I don’t appreciate it. Or like I’m just wasting their money and ours on a big wedding that they somehow already know I’ll regret lol I’m worried that the money aspect will become a point of conflict when it’s not spent how they want it to be spent. This is the first time I’ll be requesting some of what they offered and I want it to start on a positive note.
