potluck wedding reception
|
|
|
Last spring we attended a co-worker's wedding which was followed by a pot-luck reception. They provided the main dish (steak/chicken, etc.) and guests were asked to bring a side dish to share. Has anyone else heard of this being done? If so how does one word it on an invite? We are having a casual outdoor wedding and were considering this as an option.

This is a very tricky situation. In some social circles, potluck weddings are the norm. This is generally occurs when the bride and groom have little spending cash and the community pulls together to host a potluck reception.
For the bride and groom (or any immediate family members) to ask guests to bring food is widely considered to be in poor taste.
I would suggest that you first consider your budget. Cake and champagne hosted yourselves is much more generous than inviting others while requiring them to provide a portion of the refreshments.
All the best,
Jodi
