How to ask in-law to contribute?

Lizeth, today at 12:25 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 2

Hello,

I will be getting married in 2025 and have met with my mother in law once before to talk about services she was going to cover and didn't mention how much money she would actually contribute (my mistake, but also seemed rude of me to ask). One of the services she mentioned she would cover is the day of wedding coordinator. I don't want this to be expensive for her, but I also don't know how to bring up the conversation/ask of a price she would feel comfortable paying? I typically would ask her in person with my fiancé, but he is always busy and states he doesn't have time to pay her a visit. I have a good relationship and get a long with her, but I would hate bringing up the money conversation. Any suggestions would greatly help.

    Honestly it would come across extremely rude to ask her for money if she hasn't mentioned a budget or brought it up since your original conversation. I would plan on covering the cost yourselves.

    If she already offered to cover the cost of the wedding coordinator, I don't think it would be in poor taste to follow up with her on it. However, I would leave it up to my fiance to broach the subject. Typically when it comes to money, "blood handles blood". Just have him shoot her a text or a quick phone call if he's really busy.
