My guests think I’m tacky for wanting to charge them $50 to attend my wedding – is it really that bad?

A bride to-be has been labelled ‘tacky’ for wanting to charge friends and family $50 per person to attend her wedding.

‘We all know weddings are very expensive,’ the woman said in an online group. ‘What do you think about charging guests $50 to come?’

The bride thought that making people pay was a bright-idea that would cut down on food costs – without limiting the guest list. 

‘RSVP with your $50…I don’t think it’s tacky. It’s practical and good business,’ she said.

People were quick to slam the bride and vented their outrage online – with many calling it ‘ridiculous’ and ‘cheap’ to expect guests to foot the bill.

‘Wow. Yes, we know you don’t think it’s tacky – you just want to be told you’re right. And you are not,’ one woman said. 

This is tacky AF. Can’t afford it, don’t do it!’ another agreed.

‘Here’s my thought: Have the wedding you can actually afford!’ a third chimed in. 

People slammed the bride to-be for thinking it was ‘good business’ to charge guests, Have the wedding you can afford!’ one woman said 

Others who had less of an issue with wedding-invitation etiquette, still didn’t think that the attendance fee was good value for money. 

‘Girl, I don’t even go to bars with a cover charge,’ one woman said.

‘I can get better food and entertainment for my $50 a head,’ another added. 

One man was appalled at the American woman for thinking that a wedding was meant to be ‘good business’ – and not a celebration of love.  

Another person said that the ‘entitled’ bride didn’t understand the meaning of the world guest. 

‘Whatever happened to the joy of hosting? Being generous to your guests used to be one of the greatest pleasures.’

‘You know, it’s better to give than to receive – that kind of thing,’ he added.

This isn’t the first time a bride and groom have resorted to charging guests in order to fund their dream wedding. 

A New York couple who insisted on marrying in style had 80 per cent of their guests RSVP ‘unable to attend’ after they attempted to charge them $333 each. 

Nova and Reemo Styles had their hearts set on a wedding in the city’s famed St Patrick’s Cathedral – but discovered that the church alone would cost $150,000.

The couple decided to think outside of the box and came up with the idea of getting their guests to cover the cost for them.

‘Let’s put the stress on the guests, and let’s sell tickets for a wedding,’ Nova said. 

Thousands of people were shocked over the influencer couple’s ‘entitled’ behaviour. 

‘Talk about TACKY!’ one man wrote. ‘I would never think of making someone pay to come to my wedding! That is just ridiculous.’ 

‘These people are cheapskates! They want the bling, but are too cheap to pay for it,’ another added. 

‘Hope they used that money to buy some class,’ a third chimed in.
