Money dance! So horribly tacky. I can’t believe people do this.

Don't even start because a bunch of people are going to get offended and say it's cultural. |

1. Understandable. Your wedding, your choice. 2. Bad 3. Fine with me, but the chances of me attending are really slim. 4. Fine with me. Your wedding, your choice. 5. As in cash bar weddings? Bad. But if you mean a limited selection of wines or a dry wedding, OK with me. 6. Fine with me and pretty much the norm in my culture. |

Not a ranking, just general reactions:
No-kids weddings Do what you want, but don’t you dare complain if people don’t choose to attend because of your restrictions. No +1 weddings As long as they know other people/are seated with other people they know, I actually think this is fine. I’ve attended weddings solo before and had a great time. Destination weddings Do what you want, don’t you dare complain if people choose not to attend—including siblings. Dry weddings That’s fine. Lots of people avoid alcohol for lots of reasons. I can have a great time without it. No open bar weddings If at least beer and wine are provided, I wouldn’t even notice. If no alcohol whatsoever is provided, that’s a bit tacky. But whatever, I’d still have a good time. Weddings of couples who ask for cash As long as they found a semi-graceful way to do this, like registering for gift cards or registering for honeymoon experiences, I think this is fine. I think it’s better to simply provide an extremely limited registry; people know what to do if all the registry gifts are already purchased. I’d rather have people ask for money than register for yet more crap they don’t want or need, and waste environmental resources. |

No-kids weddings - Totally fine
No +1 weddings - If used properly (ie +1s are for truly single people) then fine. If used improperly (excluding someones husband/partner and only inviting 1 of the couple) Very rude Destination weddings - Not my favourite, but not egregious to me. Dry weddings - Lame, I assume either cheap or religious. No open bar weddings - Lame, I assume cheap Weddings of couples who ask for cash - Everyone wants cash, but asking is crass. |

Long outdoor ceremony in gross weather.
Getting married in the middle of nowhere because it was a cute vacation spot. |

| Don't forget theme weddings and all the other ways to treat your guests as props. Everyone wear Medieval Punk! No pink allowed, it clashes with the wedding colors! |

Cash bar is the worst. So rude to invite someone to a party and then make them pay for refreshments.
No +1 is inconsiderate. Destination weddings are typically inconsiderate (unless it’s a really cool location and I can make a vacation out of it  )
Couple asking for cash is really tacky but I would give cash as a gift anyway so I don’t really care that much Dry wedding is kind of a bummer I guess but I don’t care that much since I don’t need to drink and maybe that’s their culture/religion No kids is whatever. I don’t care. And I have 2 kids. |

If you can tell from the invite and RSVP accordingly, how can you be mad? If you don’t like it, just don’t go. No biggie. |

I went to a Halloween wedding where everyone wore what costume they wanted to, and the bride and groom were zombies. That was pretty fun. |

No +1 weddings: bad No-kids weddings: fine but don’t get mad if people cannot attend Destination weddings: same as above Dry weddings: sounds terrible but it’s usually for cultural or personal reasons, so fine No open bar weddings: bad, but warn guests if you must Weddings of couples who ask for cash: I don’t care. I’m spending money on you either way. |
