Wedding Couple Blasted For Feeding Their Guests Based On Their Wedding Gift

Many wedding couples do give their guests different treatment. Usually, family members would get better seats and different sets of meals because, duh, they’re family members. This is especially visible in Asian weddings, where utmost respect is given to the elderly.

However, this couple decided to let their guests choose their meals based on how much their gift is worth.

Feels like a restaurant, eh? Except that it’s supposed to be a happy event where you’re sharing your joy with your closest friends and family members.

This RSVP card was shared in the ‘Wedding Shaming’ subreddit with the tag ‘greedy.’ Needless to say, the people were happy to shame this RSVP card. The meals are divided into four different levels: loving, silver, golden, and platinum.

People who gift up to $250 will get roasted chicken or swordfish. Those who gift up to $500 have broader options with sliced steak and poached salmon. Up to $1000 at the ‘Golden Gift’ level, guests get to choose from the above choices, fillet mignon or lobster tails.

And the couples also expected people to gift beyond $1000, who will get about 2 lb of lobster and gets to go home with a souvenir champagne goblet.

People had a lot to complain about, and one of them pointed out, “I don’t know what’s worse, the tiered food based on gift… or that vegetarians/kosher diet people are only at the $1k+ level.”

But it could be for a fundraising event?

With the benefit of the doubt, there’s a possibility this wedding event was a ‘slash fundraising event’ where people would be appreciated more if they were to donate financially towards a better cause.

One commented, “Looking again, I now see this might be a fundraiser and totally acceptable. If this were for a wedding, not only would I not go, I likely wouldn’t be friends with these people afterward.”

Further clarification reveals the truth of this invitation card.

When the RSVP card was shared on a Facebook group, the original poster later updated on her blog, “After this started getting gossiped about (and posted on FB), the couple who sent this out with their wedding invitations said it was a joke, and they were surprised no one “got” the joke.”

A Reddit user commented, “I think, from some people, it should be clear that it’s a joke, but if it’s from a distant cousin you haven’t seen in a while, the doubt could creep. So if you want to do such a joke, you better have the “kidding, here are the real meal choices” on the back, and you better think twice about who you’ll send it to, know your crowd type of deal.”
