Trashy or Not?

No way! go for it. if your guest like it and you like it and you can afford it, do it!

Thank you!

Not at all! It's all about just having fun!

Not at all!! I always say there is a fine line between classy and trashy. My father's second wedding was a BBQ wedding. They had tents set up in the backyard with a dance floor. The cater specialized in BBQ. They had those large half oil drums set up and made some AMAZING chicken and steak (for half the cost of what it would have been at a venue). It was followed up with a campfire "after party" Everyone had a blast and it was a really nice day. If it is what you want-go for it!

We're doing a "picnic" dinner after our ceremony, which will probably be like some wraps and cold sandwiches and a couple of salad options. If you want BBQ, why would you do something "fancy" instead that doesn't make you happy?

We are thinking about doing bbq for our reception in my parents backyard!

No that's not trashy at all.As a matter of fact my reception is on a golf coursre at a country club. The scenery is beautiful.I am having bbq out on the patio;the patio holds about 100 ppl.there are several round tables out there.the inside has tables also but a more sophisticated approach.all you do is walk out the glass ajoining doors and you are on the patio. it also have an area out there for the dj.i chose that because some ppl like the outside while others may be a little more sophisticated and like a more laid back scenery.

Not at all hun! I found a caterer around my area that specializes in bbq for weddings and other major events. I had considered doing a pick roast but our venue has on site catering.

No way, I think that's a great idea. And as for myself, I love BBQ, I'd be happy to be invited to eat BBQ anywhere, YUM!!!

No way! We are doing BBQ here also! That is just more our taste. We are having what we would call a simple, but elegant wedding.

Nope its was my plans to have southern food but we cant have open flame like that at our venue so we had to change the food idea..

Hell no its not trashy! lol we're having brisket, (FH is an amazing cook) plus guests wont feel hungry afterwards. There's nothing worse then stopping at taco bell after you left your friend's $20,000 wedding that barely served you anything.

I say go for it. My first wedding was a BBQ/potluck. Our mothers put it together. We had so much food and no one seemed to mind at all. Everyone complimented on how wonderful all the food was.

WE tv just aired a "Rich Bride-Poor Bride" episode today where the couple had a BBQ reception! It turned out gorgeous and everyone had a great time. If you are looking for a more relaxed reception and just want everyone to have a good time, then I think its a great idea!

Thank you guys so much for helping me out, we both think it's a good idea. So we are going to do it. Thanks agian!

Not tacky at all. It's about bringing family and friends together to celebrate with you !

Yay! I'm a BBQ bride, too! We're having the caterers come and do the grilling on site.

I agree with GT I would rather leave full lol! It's your wedding ma'am do as you please!

Not at All!!

Not trashy at all, we are having bbq as well and the reception is going to be in a barn. It's what I want. And this is your wedding so it should be about what you want as well.
