Great idea Mr. Babe has !!

I'd say forget about the $1 per year of marriage and send a check for $10.00 with the request note attached.

Before I did that, I'd call the daughter and find out exactly which B&B had been chosen and for what dates, for this celebration, and make the check out to that Inn, with the couple's name as a reference. If she replies she hadn't chosen one yet, tell her to let you know when she does and then you'd be happy to make a contribution.

That way, although I'm sure the daugter doesn't plan to keep any of the money made out to HER name, this is your way of sticking it to her and yet she can't say you didn't contribute to the celebration. She'll HAVE to include your name on the giftcard !

I know I said I wouldn't tell you what to do...but that $25 idea got me to thinking, so I couldn't resist adding my suggestions!!!

Keep us informed!!
