wooo im late to the party
iv been to worse ones, right at reception open ang pow and write down amount and whom....

they trying to breakeven on the entire expense, anyway normally ppl RSVP so u have a choice

you guys should also look the bright side of these wedding dinners;
its a great place to meet singles (my friend met wife there)
and usually the girls spend the whole afternoon if not the entire day preping themselves for the dinner
