[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They tend to skew tacky!

So much would depend upon the situation and event.

Embarrassed to admit, but [b]I've attended a potluck wedding.  That's just wrong.  I brought a homemade lasagna.  In this case it was under the direction of the bride's family who was trying to cut corners and save some money. In this case, elope.  it was as sad as it sounds.[/b]

I've been to a potluck funeral reception, too, although in this case, small-town church ladies bring "their" special/standard dish but the aggrieved family doesn't have to provide a dish.  Potluck in the church hall!

Generally, to intentionally host a potluck seems cheap.  How hard is it to plan a simple, inexpensive menu for a small crowd?  I enjoy throwing parties and make certain To make my beer drinking or vegetarian or little kid guests happy.  [/quote]

Me too. What was especially wrong was that a) it was a second marriage for both and they had the money to have a reception b) they didn't ask enough people to bring food with the result that two-thirds of the guests didn't get fed. We had a toddler, had driven about eight hours to get there and then had to leave the reception to get food. [/quote]
