Should the brides parents except money from the grooms paraents after the wedding?

Social conventions have changed so much over the past decade.
This would depend on what was discussed, if anything, prior to the wedding. If the groom's parents told the bride's parents that they wished to contribute to the cost of the wedding, and the groom's parents graciously accepted this gesture, then receiving such a contribution after the event would most certainly be acceptable.
Social etiquette, historically, placed the suggestion that the bride's family hosted the wedding. However, the groom's family contributed towards other 'head start' projects for the newlyweds such as: starter home costs, vehicle, honeymoon, etc.
Regardless of all these conventions, the prevailing thought to hold is harmony for all. Is their gesture being made without any influence, whatsoever, of perceived guilt. Have you commented to anyone, anywhere, that you felt, for whatever reason, that the groom's family should have, at the very least, offered to have helped? If so, it may be that a comment such as this, no matter how reflectively you may have meant it, has reached the parents and they're hurt. Most importantly, how may this have added unnecessary strain to the start of a new marriage?
If the parents alluded to their desire to want to help financially, prior to the wedding, and then did not so, perhaps it's wise to accept that their intentions were most sincere, but circumstances arose which prevented them from doing so at the moment and now conditions have changed.
Whatever the circumstances, it's important to remember that the impetus is upon both sets of parents to help and nurture their children in their new life together. This comes first and foremost in every step you take.
If you have received a cheque in the post from them and are uncomfortable in accepting it, rather than sending the cheque back, first speak with your new son in law and daughter together. They may offer the best advice of all. And I'm certain your new son in law will respect you for this.
