I know many users from this site are primarily from English speaking countries, with similar cultures. But I'm just curious.
I got a wedding invite to a close friend's wedding.
On the invitation, it says that the dinner reception will have "several menu options that guests can choose from at their expense." So guests will be paying for their own food at this wedding.
I've never been to a wedding where the food wasn't provided before (but then again, I haven't been to many weddings) and I live in Canada. What is customary where you live with regards to receptions, and gift- giving?
My mom always told me that as a guest, you should give a gift (or money) that is of similar value to the meal that you will be receiving. But I'm not sure if this is old-fashioned/out-dated or not.
I don't have a problem paying for my food for this wedding, it won't affect whether I'm able to attend or not. Just curious how it usually works.
