Same as CQ said, $200. -- nm - Krusty Apr 5, 15:39 1
- I see below you're flying in and paying for a hotel. $20. - Krusty Apr 5, 15:40
It should have no connection whatsoever to the cost of your dinner. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 15:17
$200 -- nm - CQ: Middle Reliever Apr 5, 15:06
Huh. I've never just given money. Is this in addition to, or instead of, buying something off the registry. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 5, 15:05 3
- we never registered for our wedding. makes it easy. Between the two of us, we had all that stuff in the registry anyway -- nm - CQ: Middle Reliever Apr 5, 15:12
- We almost always do. The gifts were nice and all but we couldn't spend them on our honeymoon. - spamlet Apr 5, 15:10
- cash is usually instead of... - b. Apr 5, 15:09
first thought is whatever you would have given before you learned that info. - b. Apr 5, 15:01 4
- I actually didn't have a thought it mind - I was waiting to find out what the cost per plate was first. - ty97 Apr 5, 15:03 3
  - I'm sure they'd be appreciative of any amount. I know we were and we weren't expecting money from everyone -- nm - CQ: Middle Reliever Apr 5, 15:14
  - how close are you to them? how rich are they? ;) - - b. Apr 5, 15:08 1
    - heh, there's even a calculator! (I have no idea.) nm but: -- (link) - b. Apr 5, 15:12
Twenty bucks. -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) Apr 5, 15:00
decide after you score with the best man, or not :) -- nm - peglegpete Apr 5, 14:57 3
- Ewwww (I'm related to the best man) -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 14:58 2
  - ?????? -- nm - Cersei Lannister Baretheon Apr 5, 15:03
  - or another guest -- nm - peglegpete Apr 5, 15:01
Are they making you pay for dinner? -- nm - amoxy Apr 5, 14:56 16
- Nope, the wedding is no-cost* to guests. - ty97 Apr 5, 14:59 15
  - All of the etiquette books say no guest is obligated to give a gift at all. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 15:18
  - I'd bet most people who attend weddings don't know actual cost per plate. - b. Apr 5, 15:07
  - I thought the norm was to have a registry... -- nm - con_carne Apr 5, 15:02
  - It would be amusing (but shitty) to put a check for $109. -- nm - TFox Apr 5, 15:01
  - That's the usual norm, but $109 per plate? - spamlet Apr 5, 15:01 5
    - that's really not that expensive. especially if there's any liquor involved. -- nm - Diva Apr 5, 15:25
    - dude, my cousin's wedding was $250, not including wine or open bar. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 15:19
    - I was figuring this was including facility rental, food, open bar, maybe band? -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 15:05 2
      - Ok, maybe. I was looking at it just for the food. -- nm - spamlet Apr 5, 15:09 1
        
        it could well be. - b. Apr 5, 15:11
  - and it's open bar -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 15:00 4
    - i have literally never been to a wedding that was not open bar. - Andie Apr 5, 17:14
    - Is this a 1% wedding? -- nm - amoxy Apr 5, 15:02 2
      - My family weddings have always been like this. Just family tradition I guess. - ty97 Apr 5, 15:04 1
        
        OK Family, I would give 200 then -- nm - amoxy Apr 5, 15:06
starbucks gift card -- nm - pixitude Apr 5, 14:56
(reportedly 109/plate that is) -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 14:54
