A bride-to-be has sparked fierce debate online after including a “tacky” detail on her wedding invitations.
Earlier this month, one of the bride’s guests posted a screenshot of the divisive invitation to the Facebook group That’s It, I’m Embarrassing the Wedding.
After outlining the order of service for the day and the dress code, the couple, from the United States, asked their guests to cover the cost of their food at the reception.
It said: ‘In lieu of traditional wedding gifts, we ask that you contribute to the cost of our reception buffet.
“This will allow us to share a wonderful meal together and create lasting memories with our loved ones.”

The bride then explained that adults will have to pay $40. [£31] while children under 12 years old must pay $20 [£15].
Additionally, the couple requests contributions before the wedding and included their bank details in the invitation.
The invitation continued: ‘To facilitate the planning process, we kindly ask that you include your input when you RSVP.
“This will help us provide accurate numbers to our venue and ensure a seamless experience for everyone.”
They said goodbye writing, “Your presence at our wedding is the most meaningful gift we could ask for and we are truly grateful for your love and support as we embark on this new chapter of our lives together.”
Inviting other members of the Facebook group to comment on the invitation, the guest captioned his post: “No, no, no, no, no and no.”
The invitation sparked a number of reactions from the group, with some calling the couple’s approach “bizarre.”
One responded: “If you can’t afford a wedding, don’t have it.”

“It’s so vulgar,” added another. “It’s not about the amount, it’s about charging people to come to your wedding and help pay for it, that’s weird.”
A third said: “If you’re short on cash, don’t have a big wedding or write on the invitation ‘no boxed gifts please’ as usual.
“Most people know it’s code for ‘gifts of cash or checks, please.'”
However, others were quick to defend the couple and insisted it should be normal practice.
One follower said: “I have absolutely no problem with this, and I think it’s a little strange that people expect good food and free alcohol but also complain if the food and alcohol aren’t good enough or if it’s not a open space”. bar.’
Another added: ‘Is it bad that I don’t actually have a problem with this? It’s a reasonable amount, less than most people would spend on a gift, and they were clear that they didn’t want gifts on top of the contribution.’
