I was reading all of the responses to the posts regarding potluck weddings, and I had a question/comment...
My fiancee and I are in a similar position, we have little for a wedding budget. I'm a fulltime student working parttime and he works fulltime and we have little help from family. For our wedding, we're planning a business-casual/informal ceremony and reception on a family member's home and property with about 40 of our closest family and friends. We're providing the drinks, meat, cake, etc and were asking guests to provide their favorite dish or side along with the recipe.
I think it would be a great idea for our family and friends to be a part of our special day and a great way to get a few starter recipes. What's the big deal about having a potluck wedding?

The big deal is that when you host an event, you are expected to host it. Your guests shouldn't have to bring the party with them. Plus, this is a wedding. We don't do this for weddings unless it is an open church event and there are no formal guests.
The very simple rule is: you invite, you pay. Please host the event you can afford to host. If this means cutting the guest list, then that is the best choice and one we all must face.
