Las Vegas Buffet Reception

You pay for who you invite, AKA you pay for everyone.

Pay for everyone, I would be offended if I went to a wedding and had to pay for my own food.

You need to pay for everyone. This is no different than inviting them to a regular reception.

If you had a reception at a regular venue with a buffet, would you ask people to pay for their own dinner?

eta: words are hard today. Also, my friend did this at the Rio buffet, and she paid for everyone. The Rio also put tables together for us, with tablecloths and flowers on it. It was really nice!

Definitely pay for everyone.

You absolutely need to pay for everyone you invite.

UHHH. You pay for every single person you invite.

If you can't afford to feed them - don't invite them. That is rude for them to pay to travel all that way and then have to pay for a meal.

The buffet at the Mirage is pretty cheap compared to other Vegas restaurants. I think like everyone else if you invite them you have to feed them and provide beverages. I can't remember if in the buffet they allow alcohol though.

Have you ever been invited to a wedding where some guests were provided with a meal and the rest of you had to order in and pay for your own?

Your FI is being absurd.

You need to pay for everyone. FFS its only $30pp.

Definitely pay for everyone, remember it's you that is hosting the day. PP's are right, it's all inclusive, including alcohol, and $32 pp.

If you invite them, you need to pay for their meal

Umm wow. OP, when was the last time you were invited to a wedding reception and were handed a bill for your meal? How incredibly rude. I can't believe your FH thinks that is acceptable.

Of course you pay for everyone invited.

While figuring out your budget, remember that Cravings adds a gratuity automatically for groups > 8 people. I think it's around 20%.

Undoubtedly you should pay for everyone
