Spinoff- who wears the yarmulkes.... (interfaith)

at an interfaith wedding? All the men, or just the Jewish men?

It is considerate that all the men wear them. They usually do, but if they don't grab one its not that big of a deal.

probably, in our case, just the jewish men. my grandfather doesn't want to wear one and my dad won't either. i am not one to enforce religion on other people so whomever wants to wear one can.

I would think that only the Jewish men would take one...but some others might. I don't think it should be a big deal.

It's just that I'm wondering how many i should buy... it's a big # difference between buying for just Jewish men, and buying for all the men. I guess i'll pick a # in between.

My guess is that most men if they are offered one will wear it. If they are just in a basket on the side they may not take it.

I would just pick a number that you feel is correct. Not even all Jewish men may wear them. I am only going to order about 50 or so of them (for about 200-225 guests) and put them in a basket with an 'optional' sign on the basket. This way whoever wants to wear one can and nobody feels obligated.

All the weddings that i have been to interfaith or not all the men were one, just to be respectful!

Same situation - I would get for all the jewish men and about half of the other men - realize also, that some women may want to take one as a momento - I usually do!

We are purchasing about 2 dozen, whoever wants one can grab one, but my family has expressed they dont feel comfortable wearing one. There will only be about a dozen of his family members there that would wear one

I just asked my FH (we're having interfaith, he's the Jewish one) and he said that for us, probably just him. Since ours is at the hall and not a temple, it's not important to him so we're not going to be providing them for the guests.
