So I'm getting married on my grandparent's farm in the middle of nowhere. They have to use a septic tank because the city doesn't have plumbing out that far. Does anybody think it would be gross/tacky to have porta potties at the wedding? I don't think there's any other choice, because there's going...

I don't think there's any other choice, because there's going to be about 100 guests at the wedding. If everyone used the one septic tank, the last thing I need is for it to burst..

From what my mom told me (she looked into the company), they can do "cute" pink and blue potties. Also, they can provide a portable sink.

I just don't want any of my guests to be grossed out lol.

Haha I mean as a guest, would I be thrilled about it? No. But would I understand? Yes.

And would I LEAVE THE WEDDING or NOT ATTEND over this? Absolutely not!

My apologies if this has already been said... I don't have time to read all of the comments.
OP a bathroom trailer would be very nice but I'm pretty sure they need hookups just like an RV which I doubt you have access to. The porta potties should be empty and perfectly clean when they get dropped off so I can't see how they could become disgusting during your wedding. Letting all of your guests use the septic will absolutely cause problems. Septic works by keeping the bacteria levels correct. That many people using the bathroom will result in more waste than the good bacteria can handle before the smell escapes. People that aren't used to septic may flush tampons or something that shouldn't go into septic. I think porta potties are absolutely the right way to go and nobody I know would skip any event they wanted to go to just because of not having a fancy bathroom.

Another thought I had is that if you have to have the septic pumped after your wedding, the tanker truck will mess up your grandparents yard getting to it. You can have the porta potties dropped off more at the edge of the property where they won’t be in any wedding photos, and I’m sure your grandparents will appreciate the yard close to their house not being messed up. So don’t let anybody convince you you need something other than porta potties.
