To offer some money to parents who have hosted dd?

[PrinceHaz]

17 year old Dd has spent 6 days with boyfriends family at their home in a holiday destination.
I’ve given her lots of spending money and a nice bottle of champagne for his parents.
They’ve done several activities and a couple of meals out so wondering if I should offer a contribution. Don’t want to cause awkwardness by offering but feel I’d like to.
What would you do?

Travel to destination paid for by dd.

I would offer, they probably won’t accept

As above but make sure your DD sends them a really nice card afterwards with a proper message rather than just Thank you.

I'd always offer but they probably wouldn't accept (I wouldn't)

I think it would have been better to offer beforehand, but I'd still offer now.

I think you should have offered to cover her food and expenses in advance, definitely offer now and don't accept their first refusal (if there is one).

I wouldn't. She has stayed at their home, and they are hosting her. I think the making sure she has spends and a nice bottle is enough.
Yes to a proper thank you card from her though

Been in a similar position and offered beforehand several times and they didn’t accept but I feel better knowing I did offer.

I wouldn’t as long as DD has been using her spending money where possible. I took my daughters friend on holiday recently and I wanted to have a few nice meals out and a few activities that I forced them into 😂. I knew she had spending money but as I chose restaurants and activities that were more expensive than a teenage budget, I chose to pay and was perfectly happy with that. She did however use her spending money for quite a few things that were reasonable. Her parents sent me a nice small gift after and said they had a great time. I would have been upset if they asked me how much they owed me.

I took kids away this year. One set just sent £150 to our bank a/c which they had details of for flight cost and didn’t say a word. The other set made a big fuss about covering costs in advance and then didn’t contribute but sent flowers.

Sorry, but those answering that a nice card is enough- I disagree. They probably won't accept, but a voucher upon return would be the minimum I would do. It could be for dinner/ afternoon tea/ the theatre/ Tesco, whatever, but do something.

For example, we loaned a car to my lovely friend when she visited overseas for 4 weeks. It was no bother to us as we both have our own cars & this is an older car DH tinkers with. She need not have got anything, but left it full with petrol & a voucher for Tesco for £100 (we have a nearby garage) for fuel for future use. A lovely thought & much appreciated.
