To ask if this is usual for a wedding?

[AspireMe]

To seat guests at tables depending on the quality of wedding gifts (higher/more wanted the gift, the better the table) and divide into Gold, Silver and Bronze statuses? (Without telling the guests, obviously).

I wondered why I'm always sat at the back at weddings!

Next step, the brazenly crowdfunded wedding model. Announce the event, complete with tiers of involvement, and wait for the pledges to roll in. I'd love to see it. I don't suppose any would reach full funding. Couples would soon realise how little interest anyone has else has in their wedding, and go back to humbly requesting the pleasure and privilege of their guests attendance at a fully paid for event.

Oh look the OP didn't return after posting 2 goady unbelievable posts...

Oh come on, Society, it was harmless and people came up with some funny ideas!

Really want this scenario to be real and for it to be filmed. Incredible idea.

Assuming you’re serious, do you really think that your wedding celebration is in any way about the “quality” of the things people gave you? Why would you be thinking that way? It’s the way horribly grasping materialistic people think.

If you really thought it might be OK to seat a much-loved elderly relative who can’t afford much, and maybe isn’t the best at choosing presents, in the lowest-status zone, have a think about who you are. And the kind of people you’re listening to.

Why on earth did you think this was a good idea OP (I know its not your wedding).

Oh. I thought this was a joke...

How can it be true though as you wouldn't know what someone had bought you until afterwards?

If it's somehow true, it's the height of crassness and vulgarity.

It's ridiculous and also impossible.

Are guests to email receipts a week before the wedding so the seating plan can be done?

Or will there be an official opener at the door who inspects each gift and directs the giver to tables accordingly?

I think op thinks she's found an ingenious way to get top notch presents from guests who couldn't be relied on to divvy up the goods without being embarrassed into it.
Poor thing.

Do you think this is the same poster who was mistreating her bridesmaid and the 2nd wedding on a thread in the last few days?
Or is there a competition running that I am unaware of, for the most ludicrous suggestions for a wedding ?

But you have to bring your own and fry it yourself.

🤣🤣🤣

Reading with intrigue

In what world would that be a good idea? What would be the purpose?

I wonder where my gift of priceless original artwork would get me seated. Out in the garden, maybe?

@Pottedpalm 😂

Haha. You could name the tables:
Harrods
Harvey Nics
Selfridges
John Lewis
Argos
Costco
Home Bargains
Poundland
Market tat
Scrap yard.

You'd have miserable bastards buying single egg cups just to get on the Harrods table.

There's no end to the shenanigans some people op's friends, presumably will engage in just to avoid buying their friends a decent wedding present.

What the hell? Just no!
