[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not just put the cost per person on the invitation so that we are all clear on the expectations?[/quote]

Use the internet. Look I was dead broke got married. I did a great wedding but we really pinched every nickel to afford it as paying ourselves.

The actually reception dinner itself. (No DJ, Limos, flowers) [b]just the food and drink I paid $90 a person.

A couple giving me a $150 “gift” is actually not a gift when they are $180 worth of food and drink. [/b]

Couples can only afford weddings as some generous guests “cover their plate” plus extra to make up for deadbeats. [b]I broke even.[/b] [/quote]

Was it a wedding, or a fundraiser![/quote]

Well I had some guests who made 10x my income who go out to $100 dollar dinners all the time. Expecting  them to just pay for food they eat is not crazy.

But what drives me nuts are third cousins who invite me to weddings 100s of miles away they know I can’t go to and I have to send them $150 Bucks and a card. [/quote]
