Well, reread the OP....
Seems the bride to be and son both talked to dad.... and gave expectations... but also said they did not want to 'break the bank'....
I would just tell both of them together that a rehearsal dinner for 100 people that cost $25K is not in your budget.. that it WILL break the bank.... and you are willing to pay X amount and they can figure out the rest....
BTW, this means you are out of the planning, inviting and execution so in a way it is a win win....
