We decided to have a destination wedding with our closest friends and family to avoid planning a large pricey in-town wedding in which we could not afford. My parents could pay for the destination wedding for us because it was much less with less guests. My MIL really wanted us to have a large wedding in town for all of their family(keep from people's feeling being hurt)...agreeing to pay for it that money was not the problem. My husband and I still really didn't want this so we compromised with her to have a celebration upon return with those people instead of having the large wedding. We were under the impression, she was still offering to finance such party (seeing as we didn't want it because we didn't have the money-party costs the same whether the ceremony was before it or not) Upon return from our fabulous wedding(now which she raves about what a wonderful idea it was to do it this way)...We had announcement made in which we stated we would be having a party this summer. Now after sending these out, we have been told that there will be no financial help but we are still expected to throw this party including all family members and friends whom weren't at the wedding. Please help! What should we do? I know it was rude to say we were having a party and then not do anything but should we go in debt to have a party just to please everyone else?
