Should money be accepted for inconvenience?

Answer 1

* This depends on your relationship to the person offering it. Family and friends might offer, but it should not be accepted - as we ought to accept a bit of inconvenience from those we love and know well. For other people, it depends on the degree of inconvenience and whether we were truly inconvenienced or not. * It does depend on the circumstances. Once my husband and I accepted an invitation to a very formal wedding and we accepted, but unfortunately within a week before the wedding an emergency came up and we couldn't attend. I send a note of apology to our friends with the money for the cost of the dinner plates at the reception (always expensive) and also a card of apology to the new bride and groom. It is merely up to the individual. We chose this method because we knew the parents of the bride and knew they had to struggle to pay for this wedding.
