Nope, the wedding is no-cost* to guests.

Posted by ty97 Apr 5 '12, 14:59

I heard from my mom who hear from her cousin who heard from the groom's mom how much the wedding is costing per plate, and I think the norm is that you should at least cover your plate, right?

*it's costing me airfare and hotel since I'm not local

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
