Experience I''ve been a wedding coordinator for 16 years. I authored a WEDDING PLANNING GUIDE, a Bride''s Workbook, that is available in local bridal shops. Tattered Cover Bookstores in Denver, CO as well as local Borders Books and through my website. I''ve worked with weddings from just 2 people to 350 guests and all budget ranges. I've also written and teach The Art of Wedding Coordination to those who want to become wedding coordinators.
Question I bought my daughter a designer wedding dress ( $6,000+ on sale)& now she is selling it. I think I deserve at least half the money. She has already sold table runners that it took me 92 hours to make! I paid for 90% of the wedding for 300 people!
Answer Hi Karen,
This is a hard call, but the dress would probably be considered a gift, which would make it her's to keep or sell. If she's feeling generous then she might offer to split the money with you.
As for the table runners, these would probably have gone home with you, just as if you have rented them and they were returned. If you want those back, ask her for them.
Bottom line, is this an issue that needs to cause a rift between the two of you? It can cause bad feelings that can last for years. Is it worth it?
