Plz be kind when commenting! Just here for some advice really. FYI- AUD

Here we go; I 27 F and my fiancé also 27 F let’s call her Cleo are engaged and getting married in May 2025. It’s an Engagement Party- Surprise Wedding. Our parents know that it’s a wedding and our best friends and that’s all.

Basically we have paid for all of this on our own. Cleo’s parents have been incredibly financially helpful; they have paid for her outfit 2.7K and the bar tab 4K. My parents have avoided the topic of helping to pay at all, I finally worked up the courage and asked my mum, she said she will give us 1.5K.

And although I’m grateful; it doesn’t seem enough almost?

I am the second one in my family to get married, and the will be the only one for many years to come; for my sisters wedding my parents paid $10,000- they paid for her entire wedding reception. This was back many years ago where the cost of living was not bad, HOWEVER my parents were in an awful financial position but still managed to find the money. My parents are in a very good financial position now- both of them work ( they didn’t previously- only my dad ) they also only support 2 children now as in they only have 2 financially dependant children at home. For more context or more fuel to the fire they spent 1.3-1.5k on a laptop for my tween sister for Christmas and my adult brother … which is almost the same as what they are offering to me?

So please give me your thoughts and opinions kindly.
