Not only being lucky enough to make the evening only invite list but then when you arrive to be served a sausage bap for your evening meal

True. But I had assumed from that statement that you had flown there.

herculepoirot2 · 02/06/2019 12:16

This thread is comedy.

Do you receive lots of evening invitations, OP? I myself am rarely invited only to the evening do so I have little idea of the etiquette with which you seem so familiar. 😂

WithAllIntenseAndPurposes · 02/06/2019 12:17

I have received a glut of invites in the last few years for both full day and evening events.

OP posts:
arethereanyleftatall · 02/06/2019 12:17

I have also never had an evening only invite. Do we win?

WithAllIntenseAndPurposes · 02/06/2019 12:17

But @herculepoirot2 if you are invited to the full day you would also be present at the evening no?

'Umpteen' lol I'd love to know your age for real Grin

Not every wedding has to be the same. Do you feel short-changed by being offered a sausage bap, mere "plumber food"?

Pinkyyy · 02/06/2019 12:22

I love that anyone who disagrees with the OP is an automatic GF 😂

In all seriousness, why don't you write an email to the bride explaining how you went hungry and you don't think that her side of the transaction was equal to yours. Send your bank details and ask her to refund you the difference, I'm sure she'll understand.

WithAllIntenseAndPurposes · 02/06/2019 12:22

Stop mocking my terminology 😁

Thank you for the review.

Eliza9919 · 02/06/2019 12:29

Getting a sausage sarnie at an evening do is totally fine.
You know it’s go8ng to be a snack of sorts, so you eat beforehand.

I'd expect a buffet tbh.

Yabbers · 02/06/2019 12:35

And are you really so boneheaded that you can't see how family can be from different cultures?

Are you really so boneheaded you can’t see how different cultures do things differently?

Everyone here is telling you it is the done thing to only do a small buffet/snack at an evening do but you insist that’s wrong because it’s not what your culture does.

Yabbers · 02/06/2019 12:37

You win at being a gf

This has to be the best example of pot and kettle.

WithAllIntenseAndPurposes · 02/06/2019 12:44

Yabbers my response was to an ignorant post asking why me and my cousin are not the same culture. Don't try and justify such ignorance

OP posts:
WithAllIntenseAndPurposes · 02/06/2019 12:45

And yabbers many have said a small breakfast item at an evening do is NOT the done thing...,so

OP posts:
Likeamobvie · 02/06/2019 12:47

This is such a strange thread. Why ask if you're being unreasonable when you won't accept people think you are?

Surely most evening does start around 7pm, most people have eaten by then. It's just a snack to be nice. Get over yourself.

LittleAndOften · 02/06/2019 12:49

This thread is the perfect example of how different people's expectations are based on their experiences.

OP I've been to my fair share of evening dos where the food was rubbish/inadequate so I now go already fed. I can understand how if that hasn't been your experience then you'd have expected more, and there's also no way you 'should have known' as some pps have suggested, if that hasn't been your experience.

If I do go to an evening do and the food is great, I think myself lucky! The standard hotel wedding package does not usually provide great evening food, and not until very late either.

Tbh even with a full day wedding DH and I usually eat beforehand as there's often a long wait before food with the ceremony, photos etc. I'm always happy to be pleasantly surprised though! I just don't assume, and tbh I'm no fun when I'm hangry Smile

WithAllIntenseAndPurposes · 02/06/2019 12:50

@Likeamobvie I accept if people think I am but not embellishing things/assassinating my character/just adding goady immature comments
