Potluck wedding? Is that a thing?

If you go to this wedding, eat something before. Or eat there and be prepared for food poisoning. Lord help them...

Potluck is a no go

Ew

Only for those who are truly adventurous and tacky. See also: cheap.

"You want a gift or a dish? Cuz you ain't gettin both"

It's a thing. It's a rude thing. And quite a dangerous thing, since if everyone is bringing a dish the odds of every single kitchen being clean and every single ingredient being fresh is pretty much nil.

If you go to this thing, don't eat.

Yes, my cousin had one. It was horrible.

It is a thing, but I usually only see it in small town church weddings. I'm not a fan at all, I prefer hosted parties to these community involvement parties. If you attend, I wouldn't bring a gift.

My grandma suggested this. I smiled and nodded and said that we were already discussing our food options but thanked her for the suggestion.

Yuck.

I'd go for the ceremony, drop off a Costco size bottle of Pepto, and leave.

How close are you with the bride/groom? That would be a hard no from me unless it was like, my best friend or sister, and in that situation I would tell them they were fucking up for not getting it catered.

I've heard of this and it is a thing. A terrible thing, shouldn't be a thing, but a thing. I would probably decline unless it's one of your VIP's weddings. If I did go, I'd only eat my own food.

Hard pass

Bring yourself some non-perishable snacks, some tums, some Immodium when the struggle gets really real, and extra TP.

I hope you aren't here just asking for a "friend."

I wouldn't do it but I think this was a popular thing in days past where all the church members brought a dish. One of my FB friends in Louisiana just got married and it was a

Potluck reception in the church hall so I spose it depends on the region.

.

Never heard of this. I would be caught off guard if I saw that on an invitation. Sounds like a fun night (of food poisoning)

That would be a no go for me. Super tacky. And the risk of food poisoning is through the roof! Plus, you have no idea what the cleanliness of the person who made a certain dish.

I only say that cause an Ex's mom would always lick her fingers while making food. And touch the food.

Something to keep in mind.

My soon to be sister in law is doing that for hers but she got the idea from a wedding she went to and said it all turned out great.
