Boyfriend wants guests to pay for band as wedding gift....?

Your boyfriends is mental

!Unless fo course it is Snow Patrol, in which case can we come along too?

In real life I think I would be offended if I got an invite that asked me to pay for someone's entertainment

I would say no. If you want to pay to see a band, you'd do it, but not at someone's wedding. The alternative would be to ask for money as a gift (which I'm not particularly keen on) but that seems more acceptable.

Hmm I wouldn't be comfortable with doing this, a bit like asking people to pay for their dinners.

But maybe you could do the honeymoon gift thing instead and transfer your honeymoon budget to the band fund?

I find this really odd, surely your OH can't ask your guests to pay for the entertainment!!!!

This is hilarious, nearly as bad as my OH being intent on charging our guets bus fare to cover the £80 bus hire fee.

Just say NOOOOOO!

Yes to guests donating towards a honeymoon, but a definite no to paying for their own entertainment (especially when they won't have a say in it).

Sorry but WEES

BTW...when you say 'semi well known'...Who is it? ?

Sorry this is weird. it's like charging people entry to your reception IYSWIM.

and when you say semi well-known, just how well-known is that? can we guess?!?
