Wedding-pay For Your Own Meal Please

freyaluck

I am getting married in 8 weeks , as our ceromony isn't until 5pm We decided to have a meal before hand. We just put a little note in with the invites saying we were having a meal before hand and if the would like to join us we would appreciate it the could pay for their own.
We are supplying a hog roast in the evening, so could never afford the meal on top.

How not to do this:

(Friends of mine were invited to their work colleagues wedding and it went like so...)

Written in the invitation was a price per head (!) and a hand written deposit slip for guests to pay money into couples account. It was brash, rude and completely inappropriate. I believe there was also a gift registry in addition to charging people to attend their wedding.

Suprisingly, it was an invitation easily turned down...

The best way of handling this is if someone else is "hosting" it; the suprise reception is a good idea of getting around the delicacy of this request.

:mad: Oh my god, that is unbelievable, my mouth just dropped open....... had to push it back up x
