| Yes it's her wedding, but WHY she she feeling so much hate towards her guests? Has anyone wronged her? No use in taking it out on everyone. Since money is no object, paying for food isn't such a burden is it? Maybe someone else, closer to her can reach her common sense or maybe her fiance? Otherwise, I would consider NOT going to the wedding and just sending her a gift or card (with a small check). If I'm traveling that long to get there, I've made the effort and cared enough to be there. She should make the effort and also care enough about me too! |

| Shall we say it is unusual to do it this way. I think it is a breach of all the customs of hospitality and I hope you are victim of some leg pulling or someone somehow somewhere talks some sense into her. She does not want to be known as the most tight fisted Bride in living history. |

| Thats really odd, usually when you rent the hall there are packages containing food to be served as well as the dining wear. Something is a miss with what she's doing. All in all its her wedding and she can be this way, but will her guests accept this is the bigger question. |

| Your cousin is not only going completely against etiquette, but she's also being EXTREMELY rude and even more tacky. One thing brides tend to forget about when planning their weddings is that they should think about their guests as well. Personally, I'd never attend a wedding for someone who requested I bring my own meal for the reception. The whole point in having a reception is for the COUPLE to provide sustenance to their guests who have traveled to share in their special day. It's also a way for the couple to thank the guests for coming, and it serves as the after-party for the families to meet and mingle. If the meal only consists of cake and punch that the COUPLE pay for, so be it. It's extremely rude to not provide your guests with food and even worse to ask them to provide it themselves. The "It's my wedding" excuse does NOT apply here and your cousin would do well to know this. Present your cousin with some wedding etiquette books and direct her to these websites:etiquettehell.comtheknot.com |

Everything About Your Wedding
Wedding Marketplace
Buy and sale all wedding related products.
Where and How to Start?
There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky!
Wedding Invitation
Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you.
Wedding Attire
Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire.
Wedding Flowers
Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost.
Wedding Ceremony Decoration
Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority...
Wedding Music
Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances.
Wedding Photography
Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day.
Wedding Favors
Some brides don’t like the idea of giving gifts to her guests, but we think it’s a nice gesture as a thank you...
Wedding Food
Wedding food can take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget.
Wedding Cake
Your wedding cake is the centerpiece of the reception. It is a scrumptious dessert as well as part of a tradition
Wedding Party
The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
