I apologize if this topic has been discussed before...
FH's uncle is getting married in September of 2014. Although we haven't received an invitation yet, we've been told that there will be a "Potluck" reception. That's my term for it. Uncle and his fiance literally told us that they are asking everyone to bring a dish, and in my head, that's potluck. I guess this is more of a rant than a question but... seriously? Is this terrible etiquette or a perfectly acceptable option for a wedding on a budget? Not only that, but the reception is being held in the firehouse hall where the uncle works and we are being told that we'll have to WALK from the ceremony to the reception, which are about a half mile from each other, because there is no parking at the reception site. What the hell? Am I being a snob here, or is this just terrible planning on the bride and groom's part?
