I have a friend who is newly engaged and planning her second wedding. She wants to be economical about it and have guests plan to bring a dish instead of a gift.
How would you feel about being a guest at this wedding?
Input is appreciated!
Thanks,
Mel

wait...a pot luck wedding?
Never heard of such a thing....seems odd to me
I will go against the grain and say that I think it's kind of a nice way to include the friends and family in the event. I would imagine that it's not a huge crowd and that it would be at someone's house or park or something. It's not something I would do b/c I feel like the organizational part would be a nightmare, but I don't see anything wrong with it for a casual second wedding.

I'm sure a lot of people would rather give money. It's easier, especially for the culinary challenged. I think it would only work and not be so strange if it were a really intimate, small setting.
it is a bit weird
if they are worried about expenses maybe just do a cocktail hour and dont serve dinner and just serve cocktail, h'ordovers(sp? i can never spell that word!) and cake...
Just pick a time that doesnt overlap with dinner.
That's pretty strange, I would assume this is going to be a small, intimate wedding? Even still, I would much rather give the bride and groom money as a gift. Honestly though, if money is that tight maybe they need to rethink the guest list.
