Is This the Future of Weddings? Bride Charged Guests $75 for Dinner!
The Tradition of Monetary Gifts
As the topic of guests being billed raged on, the discussion broadened to encompass global traditions. A commenter brought up the practice in their culture and others worldwide, where guests give cash gifts at weddings. This is often seen as a way to cover the cost of one’s plate, ranging from $150 to $250 per person.
They also mentioned traditions where newlyweds are showered with money during the dance, or guests pin money on the bride’s dress. Such customs are prevalent in parts of Africa and the Middle East, showing that the concept of contributing financially isn’t inherently demanding or tacky if rooted in cultural practices.
