But, one woman has taken it to another level and wants her guests to pay for the meal at her wedding. Yes, that's true. Taking to Facebook, the woman asked people for advice.?A screenshot of the post has gone viral on social media.
The post was later put up on Reddit with the title, 'Bride fails to budget appropriately, wants her guests to pay for her reception'.
The bride-to-be wrote, "Did anyone ask their guests to pay for their meals? Everything is so expensive at the moment. We're either going to postpone our October wedding, cancel the guest part or ask our guests to pay for their meals in lieu of gifts."
She added, "I've sent invites out so not sure how we'd go about it. Please help. I'm stressed and sad," followed by a crying emoji.
What netizens say
Netizens sympathised with the bride, with many saying that it was reasonable for the guests to pay for their meals if she didn't expect gifts from them. Here's what they said:
One Redditor wrote: "Personally if I was asked to pay for my food within reason instead of a gift I would be really happy with that. So long as that was the understanding from the start. Some people just want to spend the day with their family and friends I see no issue with that."?
Another added, "Exactly what I was going to say. Not a terrible deal if meals are in a reasonable price range and gifts aren't expected. I'd be okay with it."?
A third user said, "That's what my dad did at his wedding, on the invite it said no gifts but please pay for your meal."?
Yet another commented, "They're considering having either no guests or asking guests to pay for their own meal instead of gifting to the couple. Just sounds like they want to celebrate getting married but are in unfortunate finances."
