There’s an anonymous debate unfolding on Reddit over one of the oldest wedding dilemmas in existence: how to plan a memorable celebration without breaking the bank. One bride-to-be wanted to keep her wedding small, intimate, and low-maintenance. The only catch? She hoped her guests would shoulder some of that workload by bringing the food themselves.
In a post, the anonymous woman — who did not disclose her age — explained that she and her fiancé are planning an October wedding with a few non-traditional touches. One of her ideas was to make the reception a potluck, asking guests to bring a dish instead of a wedding gift. Since the guest list would be relatively small, she believed the arrangement would be manageable for everyone attending.
