Wedding Dinner - Guests Pay

It`s not the idea of paying for your own or not. I`m sure that anyone who is close to the Bride or Groom would be glad to pay for their own meal......but really should they have to? It is only twelve people, celebrate with a backyard barbeque or something. Maybe just serve dessert or finger foods at a reception following the ceremony, but really please don`t ASK people to pay for their own. Are either set of parents involved at all, maybe they could help you pay for it? It`s only 12 people I think you can come up with a better idea. I had 15 for Christmas dinner and it was not bad at all. Good luck with your decision.

Why not a small dinner at someone`s home? You can serve an Italian menu very inexpensively. (Some Spaghetti, a salad, and a few bottles wine...

Try this-- "I`m too cheap to pay for 12 dinners so bring your own cash."

You could always start your own website called
I am sorry i had to-- I keep thinking about the cynthia chick that has that site.

But a small dinner at home-lasagna and salad and bread doesn`t cost that much.

If you can`t afford to pay for your guests` meal, don`t host the event. Go the courthouse and get married.
