A BYO Food Wedding Pre-ception?
DH told me last week that his co-worker has invited us to his wedding "pre-ception". DH has only worked there for 6 months, and I have never met this person. I believe the concept is inviting the B...

I agree with Mike, don't go. It's a 2 hour drive and you have to bring food to "celebrate" the upcoming nuptials of someone you don't know who doesn't think enough of you to invite you to the actual...

"Dear Friends (or vague acquaintances), as you may know we are about to get married. Surely many of you can sympathize with how expensive weddings have become and we regret we won't be able to afford...

Yeah. I wouldn't go. I'd send a card congratulating the happy couple.

Maybe with postage due? You know, like BYOB postage.

this really is ludicrous. what are they thinking? what the heck is the point? if they aren't expecting gifts, why is this "party" part of the wedding celebration at all. Why don't they just say "we...

To really be in the spirit, I suggest purchasing something from Cosco to bring along.

A 2-hour drive w/gas @ $4+ a gallon. A dictum re cuisine. Unless invitee was my supervisor, I would be busy watching paint dry on that occasion!!!

"Ah, Patrick, Miss Manners says no." (regarding sending a card postage due) Is that the same Miss Manners who wrote the book that they got all these wonderful socially correct ideas from?

Wow! What a tough crowd! But I get a good chuckle reading your responses. The reason I brought this up is because this "pre-ception" concept is truly a foreign idea to me, as I've said before, all the...

Oh no, Patrick! Miss Manners believes very strongly that if you invite people to be your guests, you do not require that they "pay" in any form for the privilege. She is horrified by this sort of...

Hey folks - want to report back on this wedding "Pre-ception" event. First of all, I was quite wrong in my original post saying that this was for the B/C-listed guests. Actually, the bride's family is...

I wonder why they didn't just call it a co-ed bridal shower? I guess so people wouldn't bring gifts, or did they bring gifts anyways? I guess it wasn't as weird an event as I originally thought. It...

Because it wasn't a bridal shower. And as I've said, all the guests were invited to this event, including all of the groom's family. All but one of his cousin came because they are just gonna go to...

I do not understand why before the actual wedding. We did the same thing, but after getting married in a third location.

Well, it does sound better than we thought. But I'd still have smuggled in some fried chicken in a back pack.

I'm not so sure this is a modern concept at all. Early weddings on the Prairies always meant bring food to the reception. I have a letter from my grandmother of a charivari (pronounced "shivaree")...

Oh, what an excellent idea about the dishes going to the bride!!! I shall do that at my next pre-ception. Seriously, I do think that is a stroke of brilliance, the plates and the note on the bottom.

A thought that came to me during the feasting session at the pre-ception was that wouldn't be wonderful if the bride & groom ask for recipes of the dishes that people brought. The bride seemed to...
