Q: I was thinking of having a pot luck wedding reception. Would it be ok to put that on my wedding invites? Heck, is it even ok to have a pot luck reception?
A: Well, that’s tricky. If you are just having more of a “celebration gathering” than a reception then I don’t see anything wrong with making it pot luck. Still, I wouldn’t put it on the invitations as word of mouth would be better.
However if this is more of a reception than a “celebration gathering” then how about asking certain family and friends to help you out instead of making it something that you are asking your guests to do.
If you are wondering celebration gathering means, I am thinking family and friends hanging out around the house, maybe outside with a bbq at the church…like you would do for any holiday or birthday. When I say reception I am thinking of renting a hall or other facility outside of a church.
