[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$200 per guest, so $400 a couple. I am planning my wedding in DC now. Honestly $200 is probably on the “acceptable” side- $250 is more reasonable.[/quote]

You are going to be disappointed with your haul.[/quote]

Hah - all im saying is that catering prices are all in the $180-$240 range and this is pretty in-line with what my friends also tend to give. A lot of my friends are starting to get married which is probably why they're more attune with catering prices and the concept of "cover your plate". I am in the boat of - giving an extra $100 isn't going to be something I'm up at night about. I realize i am incredibly privileged and can afford to be generous.  [/quote]

Oh dear. “Cover your plate” is a gentle suggestion for wedding guests, not a rule, not a norm, and certainly not an expectation for the hosts. Otherwise only people who felt they would be able to afford your wedding would attend….is that what you want? You’re certainly not going to scale down your wedding so that less wealthy friends and family would be able to cover their plate, nor should you feel any pressure to do so. It’s supposed to be about gathering everyone important to you in celebration. You decide how much you’re spending on the wedding, your guests decide how much to spend on your present. Neither controls the other.[/quote]
