Why a Honeyfund is rude: -you're asking people for money -the website takes a percentage -people can't afford a vacation so why should they pay for yours -it's tacky -poems don't make it cute Asking for cash: -it's tacky and rude -guests know how to buy gifts -just don't make a registry -you can...

Why a Honeyfund is rude:

-you're asking people for money

-the website takes a percentage

-people can't afford a vacation so why should they pay for yours

-it's tacky

-poems don't make it cute

Asking for cash:

-it's tacky and rude

-guests know how to buy gifts

-just don't make a registry

-you can always upgrade something

-living together doesn't equate to not needing up upgrades

-why should someone give you cash

-if you're trying to save money by collecting others, reevaluate why your wedding is so expensive

-have the wedding you can afford.

-poems don't make it cute

Self catering

-botulism

-glitter covered slaves

-botulism

-potlucks are gross

-health risks

-stress

Dry/cash bar (only okay with AA or religion)

-not everyone is an alcoholic

-supply or beware of drunk drivers from bootleg

-thank your guests don't punish them

Friendors:

No one wants to work

They aren't qualified.

No one cares as much as you do

    Kimberly, no to drink tickets and no to partial cash bars. The fact that you're in recovery (congrats!) does not mean that your guests have to subsidize your reception. If you have a limited number of drinkers, host a consumption bar and pay by the drink.

    Laura, what about mimosas and a cider option? And maybe some Baileys for coffee or something?

    ETA: Sorry everyone, I came in hot there with the posts. So much to say!

    And maybe we need to add that having drink bracelets/tickets is also tacky

    @jacks. If weather is on cooler side, was thinking of doing a coffee /tea bar. I didn't think of some baileys for it... and I'm sorry, not much a drinker myself, so when you say "cider" are you talking about hard ciders?

    Sorry Laura, late back to this. Yes, hard ciders, there's apple, pear, grapefruit, just about any fruit really. Some are dry, and some are sweeter. I'd go with a dry cider.
