AIBU about wedding buffet.

Long story short my sister gets married soon, all on a shoe string but has advised she has decided that people need to buy their own post- wedding meal from the pub after. It is up to her but my mum said that she will help her out with food costs. I have told her that will agree to a buffet rather than a sit down meal our parents and I will pay the cost as a wedding present ( we can't afford to pay for sit down meals for 30 people).

She has spat her dummy out and said she wanted a sit down meal. I told her she needs to be a bit more grateful. I had a three course sit down dinner at my wedding and she thinks I should pay for something similar (with our parents contributing too). The things is we both earn a similar amount I paid for all my wedding costs and had no additional money from parents. I saved and paid, she thinks I'm being mean with my money.
I'm partly feeling like telling her to piss of altogether but know that our parents will pay the full costs. Please tell your stories of unbelievable ungrateful bridezillas!

Perhaps your contribution could be used to pay for desserts or a starter? Agree a good price with the pub?
If people have to pay for their own meal then they might only have one course which wouldn't match your sisters wants either.
