Honestly I have no way of politely saying “bring money cause I ain’t paying” lol. Maybe I’m an awful person, but I’d get an aunt or someone on video chat and be like “I really wanted to have a dinner for everyone since we don’t get to see each other often, but we won’t be able to afford it 😕” lol I know my family would be like “omg ! I’ll ask uncle blah blah blah and we’ll make it work!!
Help with wedding invite
Ok, we are having our wedding in april and making all the food ourselves. We are VERY poor, but want to celebrate with family. We have just enough money to buy ingredients to make dinner, and buy a keg of beer and some wine for our guests. We are making all the decorations, even the wedding dress and tie!
The problem is we have a lot of out of town family coming from 8+ hours drive away. We only get to see them once a year: cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. Anyway I want us all to go out and have a family meal somewhere. I am worried if I invite everyone they’ll expect us to pay for the whole dinner and there’s no way we can afford it!!!
We can get a dining room for free at a nice restaurant here, since I used to work there, btw!
I just need help composing the extra note that will go with the family wedding invites. Something like “we have a dining room reserved for anyone who would like to join us for a family dinner” but i don’t want anyone to be blindsided when the check comes.
please help! i know it’s probably no big deal and nobody will cake

If you cant afford to take them out then I would say pass on it and just make food at your home. They are already spending money to come out to your wedding and may not be able to get dinner too.

That's a nice thought but if you make everyone pay then it may be more of a chore and burden for the people that have already spent money coming to your wedding.

plus cooking the night before the wedding seemed tough for me

i guess i just figured they wouldn’t want to stay at home both nights 🤷🏻♀️
Since you know the people at the restaurant can you have them put together a special menu for you? You can say “we have reserved the dining room and prepared a special menu, please find it attached for meal and pricing options”. Or if not, could you direct them to the website for meal and pricing options?

that’s a lovely idea!!
