Someone posted a story on Reddit on how their cousin planned to charge every guest an entrance fee. The bride also set up an exclusive guest list for people who didn’t want to “wait in line” to enter the wedding. Reddit user DaintySheep shares the unusual story. โIโm a 19-year-old student, I donโt have a lot of debt, but I canโt be throwing my money around like Iโm rich. I have a cousin (26), her wedding is on Sunday, weโre not really close, but we do have an okay relationship.โ
She continues on that the bride, โmade an announcement this week saying that sheโll be charging 50 dollars for every guest whoโs coming. She said that they can Venmo her the money so there wonโt be no [sic] problems and everyone who paid will be added onto the โexclusive guest listโ which basically means you wonโt have to wait in line while other guests pay.โ
Bride plans to charge guests entrance fee to get into wedding…
The Reddit user says that upon reading the message, she was incredibly shocked. The bride says she โwanted to get the money she spent on her special day back. I told her I wouldnโt be able to come because this was outrageous and that I wish her well on her special day. She contacted my aunt and my aunt called me cheap and rude. My parents offered to pay for my entry, but I refused.โ

Other Reddit users chimed in, agreeing with the original poster of the story. Most were in agreement that it was unnecessary for someone to charge a ‘fee’ to get into a wedding. One person comments, โI get people donโt have a lot of money to throw a big fancy wedding, but why canโt they stay within their budget and not expect their guests to pay for their big day?โ
Many people online disagree with the bride
Another user points out that โshe probably would have gotten $100+ per guest just through gifts and โrecouped their lossesโ if she hadn’t said anything. Now she’s going to lose guests and a lot of those that do come may consider the $50 entry fee their โgiftโ and (rightfully so) not get her anything extra.โ
Lastly, one user points out that this is an upcoming trend amongst couples. โThe entitlement of bridal couples is appalling. None of my family would show up – and I wouldn’t blame them.โ
What do you think about charging guests with an entrance fee for a wedding? Acceptable or unnecessary?
