  1. Well, it's hard to receptions usually free to customers. It also depends on the kind of place is held at the reception. I went to the wedding of a friend I had there, receiving the olive garden and wanted the same thing. This is how it was written: "The only gift we want is that you come to our reception at the Olive Garden, although we ask that all paid for their own food. Drinks on us. He has worked for them , a marriage of all and has shown that he still grant them.

  2. I really do not think we can ask the citizens to pay their own meals. Seriously, not ... is just bad taste, is simply outrageous. And I agree with the WHO said it is unlikely to end with many guests.

    If money is an issue that is not a traditional welcome. Only a picnic in much of the spring or summer. You can probably ask to bring a dish each.

  3. Rather than with a meal, why not a buffet, I do not think many people would be willing to pay for their own food, even if it means you do not have to pay for a gift. Many people today and future generations is simply asking for money or gift vouchers, why not this and you can not give you money cons, you were used.

  4. There is no way for the good word that you want customers to pay for their food instead of gifts, mainly because doing it the right thing.

  5. My suggestion is to do. If you can not afford a reception, they have one, or reduce the number of guests. What they are trying to do is rough and sticky.

  6. Sorry, but it sounds very bad taste ... Why would you with a receipt if you can not afford to feed themselves, their friends and family?

  7. Questions you do not pay for their own account. It's terribly bad taste.
    If you are concerned about the money after the collapse of his plans.
    Moreover, when two people come together to give, in their homes, more often to cash donations. Another thing to improve the chances for grant money to .... recorded anywhere. The people have so few options for gifts.

  11. You can not ask for gifts. In order not to throw when they ask your invitations, or even to get the people who are willing to give the gift to buy for their own food to be registered. It is tasteless and inappropriate to assume that nobody will give a gift for your wedding, even if you are logged somewhere. If you want your fantasy in a place of acceptance, then I suggest you change your plans, or pay for the meal. If you have no money, then go for something cheap, like a barbecue or an open house. You can buy food at Costco or SamsClub - the party trays or burgers in bulk. Someone said that most of the 2 wedding gifts (if received) in cash, which is also true, but you can not expect or think that some people can not, I'll get a card and nothing different.

  12. I know that it is a little sticky. Then start eating cheese, meat and bread and sandwiches and fries. The cake is enough! My friend has just been made and people loved it! They said it was the first time, I enjoyed the food of the marriage. Even with a cold buffet is usually time to talk with all back on the road to his place! So do not worry, too! Certainly the money that you receive a gift that you can pay for this kind of food! Good luck and congratulations!

  13. HUN Sorry, but you can not. Why? Not accept a wedding invitation, so that the expectation of a gift, and even suggested donation is considered extremely rude especially since it's his first marriage. When the customers to bring presents, which is fine, of course, want to, but never expect - and what we are talking about waiting for the moves gifts directly to customers who want a cough it up! That's the worst when it comes to the label of marriage, and is the same inapprioriate. If you can not afford to feed their guests, then you must reduce the marriage, or to change the time, so that you can take a punch and dessert reception.

    PS This is the second marriage - most people will make donations in cash anyway.
