So I'm getting married in May of 09 and am starting to make the arrangements for the reception and whatnot. Our families come from different backgrounds, my fiancee's family is definately more blue collar in comparison to my own which are mostly fairly successful doctors and professionals. The wedding will be about 90% her family and 10% mine. My family is from NY and hers from Philly where we will be getting married. Her parents have each been married 3x a piece so she has a very large family to invite; my family is small to begin with pus the fact that alot of elderly relatives wont be able to travel.
My question is: Is it still socially acceptable to expect attendees to cover their plate in terms of the gift they give? I don't ask to be a snob but I have always kept this rule in mind when attending others weddings and gauge my gift based what I expect the reception to be like. is this still considered appropriate practice?
