UPDATE: ATM at Wedding? Thoughts?

I've got a problem. Let me explain in great length, ask for opinions and not consider anyone's advice!

I've got a problem. Let me explain in great length, ask for opinions and not consider anyone's advice!

I'd like for my guests to pay for their drinks because I'm from a place where I'm trying to convince myself that it's okay. My problem is, no one I know carries cash! Anyone know where I can rent a great ATM? I'd like to have one set up near my self-catered buffet so guests will feel absolutely obligated to throw cash at me but I don't know where to start!

Also, would it be weird for my grandma to write me a sizable check during the dollar dance? Is that considered tacky? Can she just stick it in my FH's pocket or should I have someone hold it for me?

UPDATE:

A cutesy poem will really set this sucker off!

You're at our wedding!

What do do?

Your pockets are empty

and your wallet too!

Don't you fret!

Don't feel grim!

Just use this handy ATM.

**$3.75 charge

AMEN.

    There was an episode of Rich Bride, Poor Bride, where they got an ATM. They wrapped it in ribbons.....Seriously.

    Also, I really didn't get that this was a joke at first. Wow!

    I just died. I read this to FH without him knowing the context and he was like 'son they're gonna rip her a new one.' Even he knows haha.

    Honestly your cheating yourself! The way everyone in MYYYYY town does it is they charge at the door and then for food and drinks.. Also a gift box before they come in! No gift no entry!

    When a venue says "$85 per person", that means that's how much each person is expected to pay at the wedding, right?

    I'd charge for chairs and I'd charge for headsets to hear the ceremony.

    And I'd have a giant gap so people have time to walk from the ceremony to the reception.

    But that atm? It needs to spit out singles so the guests can tip the BT's and valets, feed the honey fund and still have change for the dollar dance and the 50/50
