So I get no potluck wedding receptions, but how do people feel about regular potluck parties?
We're helping plan a party for our friend's wife, and he wants to provide sides, drinks, and desserts and have everyone bring their own meat to grill. It's not a fancy party or anything, but it still feels tacky to me.
I just remember when one of my friends had a holiday party and wanted everyone to bring their own dish to share and she would provide drinks, I thought it was annoying as hell. When I asked her about it, she said she just couldn't afford to feed everyone, but really wanted to have the party. It made me mad that I had to bring my own food to feed someone else's guests, especially when a few weeks before I had my own party and fed everyone myself (she was also a guest at this party and didn't offer to bring anything).
Thoughts?
