Bridezilla's 'Tiered' Wedding Menu Is Causing Uproar As It Lists Dinner Options Based On Cash Gifts
There are times when I'd happily skip weddings because no one is going to tell me what I can and can't eat.
Wedding guests usually expect a pretty simple deal, show up, eat, smile, and bring a gift. This bride's invitation throws that idea out the window with a tiered menu that ties dinner options to how much cash you give.
The setup has people talking because it turns a wedding meal into a status system, with different dishes for different gift levels. That means guests are not just choosing between chicken and fish, they are being sorted by what they put in the envelope.
And once the menu starts judging the guests, the whole wedding gets a lot more awkward. Read on.
This bride's menu is a jaw-dropper.
"Please circle your gift level..."
So if I'm broke and have less than $250 to gift, I might as well stop by McDonald's and treat myself to a dignified serving of food.
The motto is: the bigger the gift, the better the food you'll be served. The bride also came up with stages of gifting.
The way I understand it:
- Loving Gift: Spare yourself the trouble
- Silver Gift: We'll miss you, or maybe we won't.
- Golden Gift: Promise us you'll come.
- Platinum Gift: You HAVE to come because we've got so much planned for you! You're our special, special guest.
Also, if you're a vegan or a vegetarian, you'd best cough up a Platinum Gift or starve at home.
Reddit / docerinDon't you think people would slyly want to check on what others are eating? That's the look someone gets when they're seen eating roast chicken or swordfish.
You know where you stand, roast chicken eater!
I mean, I could go on, but you get the point. If you and someone you know are sitting at the same table, both reading the Platinum menu...
That's where the whole thing gets even messier.
This “gift tier” stunt also echoes the fight between a bride’s plans and OP’s insistence on using a secret recipe at their sister’s wedding.
But what's worse is that vegans and vegetarians are deeply punished.
To qualify for this level, your cash gift should be between $1,001 and $2,500.
If you're a vegan or a vegetarian, you'd better be rich enough to afford your meal or gift the couple with love and go straight to a restaurant that will serve you and prevent you from being judged.
That kind of setup is hard to defend.
In Summary...
A lot of people think this is a fundraiser dinner and not a bride's wedding dinner, but that doesn't make it any less tacky and horrific.
What would you do if you received this kind of invitation? Would you go and/or how would you respond to it?
The comment box is all yours!
May this kind of wedding logic stay far away from your mailbox.
Still dealing with wedding food chaos? See if OP was wrong about his partner’s extreme dietary restrictions.
