Not it's not.

and as i said if its the open bar/buffet style reception its not that big of deal.


It is though. Places charge up to $100 or more per person regardless of how little that person eats or drinks.

I have never seen a wedding run out of food.


That is completely irrelevant.

However, if it wasn't a close friend or family id probably ask but if its family then i will just bring a guest anyways.



And you're a rude douchebag for assuming. On the incredibly long list of people who a wedding day is not about, some random guest is pretty much at the bottom.

With your attitude, I wouldn't worry about it. I doubt you get invited to many weddings to begin with

You sound like the trashy one, especially since you can't seem to grasp that it's not all about you that day.

Don't you know a wedding is all about some random guest and his SO that the couple getting married has never met. He's important

I haven't seen any weddings actually counting the guest as they walk in. It has always been more along the lines of paying for a certain amount of food.



well yea its not like walking into baskin robbins and grabbing your numbered ticket but a head count certainly does matter.

and with weddings costing as much as 20-150k, bringing uninvited people is wrong.

The venue does that discreetly. Do you really think someone from the actual wedding party is responsible for that? You other post made you seem clueless, but jeez.


A lot of caterers will count plates to get an idea of the head count.

It's a wedding, not a bar


In south Louisiana night time receptions are basically classy (sometimes ) bars. Music, a dance floor, free flowing alcohol...

Day time receptions or receptions without alcohol are a different animal.

Most weddings I've been to lately are no different than a bar

If someone wants kids at their wedding, yay for them. I don't see why it's a big deal if others don't though. Plenty of events exclude children and that's not an issue for people.

People get weird when it comes to weddings.

I didn't care if the kids were at my actual wedding (as long as they weren't crying infants). I just didn't want little kids running around the reception.

Didn't have any kids at my wedding and it was the best decision we made. I was a groomsman in a wedding a few months ago and kids were running wild throughout the reception. Made the whole experience unenjoyable because every time you turned around, there was someone's little brat running through the dance floor or between the tables.

The no kids thing is probably me just looking for an excuse not to go to the wedding anyway

Some people don't like it/think it's cute. Why is it hard to believe someone might not care about your kid?

Your venue might not have, but plenty charge per head for all ages as well. Even if it's half the amount of an adult, it's still $30+ per kid.
