Weddings - Who's dress is it anyway??


Expert: Weddings Etc LLC - 6/22/2009

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?
