Tailgating a wedding

Sandyfish, on April 20, 2016 at 5:42 PM Posted in Planning 0 25

I was at the hair dresser today, and she was telling me that she tailgates weddings. She'll bring a cooler and make Jell-O shots, and drink in her car before the reception. I'd be livid. Luckily I don't know her, so she's not coming to mine. Has anyone actually heard of people tailgating a wedding?

    With how many cash bars run wild, can you blame her?

    Lol at the last wedding I was at, one of the guests had a bottle of Fireball in his car and was drinking it before coming in and then shared it with a bunch of other guests there.

    Does she usually attend dry weddings? Normally I would think it's not necessary.

    Sounds like the person who tailgates or pre-games a wedding is gonna be that super wasted drunk guest taking advantage of the open bar.

    So so wrong on many levels for a wedding. Sure, pre-game a party or a concert...someone else's wedding is not the time or place.

    ETA: If you're going to have a cash bar, you can't really be mad at guests for this

    You know, my cousin ended up doing this. I had no clue until the end, when she tried to give one of my BM a "drink for the road." I was so pissed.

    That is one of the trashiest things I've ever heard. I can understand having a drink or two before, but tailgating is best left for concerts and football games.

    Haha, i can't say I really asked for details if it was a dry wedding or cash bar. I was just too appalled by the statement of taking Jell-O shots in the parking lot.

    The last wedding I was at was a cash bar. A friend brought a cooler with liquors and mixed drinks and we would go out every so often and mix one. It really wasnt a big deal.

    Never heard of this! Although, I'm picturing your hairdresser camped out in the parking lot of some random person's wedding, drinking and offering the guests jello shots on their way in. Waving a foam finger, too.

    That's the only way my guest are getting drunk guest (but it would be stupid) were doing a dry wedding because of how religious my family. My family no one drinks but me and his family has no limit so we figured we. Better play it safe and not mix the two. Plus we have a lot of 19 to 21 year old because we're 21 and I'm not responsible for drinking and driving

    Hahaha I find it hilarious. Why would this make you mad? You'd probably never even know about it (and if you did, who cares)!

    (Never done it, but not gonna lie if anyone I knew ever had a dry wedding I would definitely consider it)

    @hannah you cannot police your guests. Properly hosting them means you have drinks.... you cannot dictate them. They are adults....
