New article on an ungrateful bride!

It amazes me that people think it is the responsibility of their guests to pay for their reception. If you could not afford $200/person, then date pay it and definitely don't expect your guests to help cover the cost.

This is beyond rude. The fact that she could even say this (verbally or in writing) shows poor upbringing/home training.

Did yall read some of the "responses"?! Two of them backed up the bride! One even stated "the gift was clearly an insult. I would have sent it back."

WTF! I was THANKFUL to get any amount on our wedding day! NO ONE is ever OBLIGATED to give a gift! I absolutely HATE people which these entitlement mentalities.

Geesh. I don't expect any of my guests to give gifts, although I know they will, but I definitely am not counting on their monetary gifts to help us pay ourselves back for the wedding reception.

Absolutely awful!

I couldn't believe that a bride who is so in love with money didn't know how to write out dollar amounts correctly. "100$" was not acceptable for a "200$" per plate price? I would have corrected her entire post and sent it back to her, lol. It was full of errors. I wouldn't even bother addressing the subject of her post because it shouldn't be dignified with a response.

UGH, if you can't afford the fairy tale wedding don't try to pretend.

I attended a wedding last year and I actually heard the bride say she was inviting all these people so we can pay for this wedding the price per plate is so high (which her high would be a steal for what I am paying for price and half the amount she invited)

Rude, rude, rude.

The seven deadly sins, also known as the capital vices or cardinal sins, is a classification of vices (part of Christian ethics) that has been used since early Christian times to educate and instruct Christians concerning fallen humanity's tendency to sin. In the currently recognized version, the sins are usually given as wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony.

The Catholic Church divides sin into two categories: venial sins, in which guilt is relatively minor, and the more severe mortal sins. Theologically, a mortal or deadly sin is believed to destroy the life of grace and charity within a person and thus creates the threat of eternal damnation. "Mortal sin, by attacking the vital principle within us – that is, charity – necessitates a new initiative of God's mercy and a conversion of heart which is normally accomplished [for Catholics] within the setting of the sacrament of reconciliation.

Everyone must be must richer than me. I frequently give $100-$150 as a wedding gift!! I could NEVER give $400 in the financial situation I'm in now! Someday I plan to give my sister a decent amount but just a friend? Couldn't do it.

Simply gross. but the HP is like Bridezillas on print.

I thought this was interesting because of the backlash with the wedding gift basket debacle which is still being talked about here in Detroit on the radio. Crazy people.

Ha. I had a guest RSVP they were coming with their boyfriend and not show up OR send a gift. I was very much more PISSED with the fact I paid for her meal to feed to no one, and that she didn't apologise for not showing. IMO if you say you're coming and don't you had best facebook me/ txt me/ call me/ email me... some thing and apologise and state reason not just avoid me for 2 mths till I unfriend you on facebook (well after shooting her a message telling her that I was quite upset she hadn't called or anything as I thought we were better friends than that) wonder what this bride would have done. I only wasted about $80 between the two of them for their portion of table wine and their meal as drinks were paid by us as drank.

I have as a waitress that once got no tip, approached the table and asked if I had done something wrong, that warranted no tip on a meal of $150 with drinks. To which the sister of the guy who had paid the tables tab showed disgust in her brother and tipped me herself when he had left hte room

Well, in NYC, it can be, and upwards, but you don't plan your wedding based on what your guests will give you.

I hate guests who reply yes and then don't show. It's expensive, no matter where you are.

Mine was aprox $80per person with open bar, appetisers, dinner, dessert, latenight buffett and 4 bottles of wine per table.(however we did not offer shots, only mixed drinks, wine and beer) and we did pay per drink it wasn't a set rate like $$/per person just $25per dinner, and the rest was for group platters (app/buffett)

I have to wonder if she made mention to people who gave significant cash (mom, family etc) if she said no wait mom please only pay for yoru plate this is too much.

Wow really... I cant believe she even decide to write that... I would be excited to receive 100 gift... 200 a plate please mine is at the most $24... Thats her fault she spend that much on a wedding she couldn't afford

Wow that is ridiculous! How rude some people can be amazes me!

WOW! rude!

I actually know people who purposefully do not go to weddings for this very reason. The expectation for guests are just getting WAY too high. It's not even worth the trouble for most. And we wonder why the institution of marriage it disintegrating right before our eyes. I truly hope this story is bogus.

I have to say, I get a bit tired of the "ungrateful bride" stories. We don't see stories about people being ungrateful about their birthday or Christmas presents, which I'm sure they are. But if it's a bride, it's used to foster the whole idea of the "bridezilla." Like negative mother-in-law references, it's a slap at a whole class to which most women will belong at some time in their lives. We don't have any comparable classes of men who are just routinely assumed to be unreasonable, ungrateful, nasty, etc.

Geeesh, we're only paying $9.50 a plate and the food is being done by a relative that is an excellent cook. There's no way I'd pay $200 a plate!
