![]() ![]() I thought it was tacky to expect "guests" to pay for refreshments. ![]() I was a bit embarrassed because we just ordered a coffee. We had eaten, thinking it was a cake/punch shower because of the time-wrong. When we arrived, the shower was in an area of the restaurant, and guests were offered the opportunity to order off the menu. I thought they had reserved a party room for the event. We were invited to a couples baby shower, at 2:00 PM, and told it was at a particular restaurant. She invited the entire congregation and then said, "bring a covered dish." We were taken aback, but thought it was a cultural difference, do didn't think poorly of her. Let us know by date if you are coming so we can reserve your place, and send the check by date"Ī church member married someone from another country/culture. ![]() I thought it was beyond tacky to have my nephew's wedding invitation include a note that said, "Reception will be at xyz, and the cost is $$ per person. Tacky = inviting someone to an event and saying, "Your cost is xxx." or "OK, you bring xxx" Guest = someone who is not contributing to the time/cost/trouble of the event. If you announce a party, invite people and then ask them to bring something, that is tacky/bad manners. If you are in a group in which potlucks are the norm/expected arrangement, then no, not tacky. So much depends on the circle of guests and purpose of the event. ![]()
