Question

Does anyone else think it's rude that people ask how much you are paying per plate for the wedding. 3 of FH's aunts and uncle asked this directly to either me him or his mother. I think it is tacky. I wouldn't mind if it was a close friend or immediate relative. Has anyone else got a lot of questions regarding this?

Maybe they're just trying to figure out what to give you as a gift (i.e. they want to cover the cost of their plate)?

Personally, I wouldn't ever ask because it does seem a little tasteless to me, but I guess some people think differently...JMO

Re: Question

I just think that people should guestimate then. I would never ask. I just can't believe the nerve of some people.

Just curious - If you are asked do you tell? Anyone have any good responses to this question?

Re: Question

If someone asks I say it's a good price. If they continue to ask I say - I really don't think it's appropriate to discuss this with you. And, if you are like my FMIL I tell her it's none of her business. My FMIL wants to invite some cousins under the age of 13. I told her no. She said she would pay. I told her no. I'm not taking anyones cr@p. I don't care if Im paying $5 pp.
NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS AND NO MEANS NO!

i think it 's a bit rude...and they are likely trying to figure out how to 'cover the plate'....i haven't told anyone the cost...and don't plan to.

Tell them double the actual plate cost.

Know what everyone? If they ask tell them $200.00. This way there is a little extra sumin' sumin' in your envelope. That's what happens when you don't mind your own business.


Can you tell I have real issues with this!?

Re: Question

lol. Thats a good one. I never thought to double it. People are so stupid. If you really have to know why don't they just call the place. UGH!
