My MOH birthday is at the end of the month. I am very close with her and she is my 1st cousin. She tells me that she wants to go to the v. expensive restaurant. Its going to be at least $200 a couple. I am having a hard time parting with this kind of $ for dinner when I am trying to save for a wedding. I want to say no but then I will hear 'you never have any money'.
What would you do?

If you really can't afford it right now, I would say that is going to be too much for me right now with the wedding. Can I meet you after dinner for a drink(s)?

Re: Little dilemma
I would go. I don't know if that is right or not, but sometimes you just have to say F*** it and eat the money

I would go. Think about how much money she's spending for your wedding. I would want to do this special thing with her for her birthday.

Re: Little dilemma
I agree with Sunny. If she is your MOH and first cousin and you are close with her, I am sure she is going out of her way for your wedding and spending money for you. I am sure she wants you there and I think if I were her, if you didn't go it would be kind of a slap in the face after all she is doing for you. Just my opinion though.

Re: Little dilemma
Definitely think you have to go.
But $200/couple? What restaurant is this? Even at the most expensive restaurants in NY, you can eat for less if you dont drink. Are you assuming you will be drinking a lot of wine too?
How about going but calling ahead to see if bring your own wine (tell them its an important vintage as oppossed to a way to save $$ ) so you only pay a corkage fee instead of the restaurants wine costs. That will save you a lot.
