Engaged Couple Wants To Serve Chipotle At The Wedding

This couple asked the people of Reddit whether or not they were jerks for wanting to serve Chipotle at their wedding. It sounds like the idea is motivated by sentimentality and the desire to save some money in the process. Most people are of the opinion that it's their wedding, and thus up to them!

Text - WIBTA for serving Chipotle at my wedding? No A-holes here I'm getting maried in April, and when my fiance and I started planning our wedding, we were shocked by how expensive all of the different components were, especially catering. We live in a high cost of living area, and the cheapest catering quotes we were able to get were still well over $100 per person. We're inviting 75 people and the thought of spending $8,000 or more on food is pretty horrifying.

2.

Text - And then we started thinking – our first date was at a Chipotle, and it's been our go-to spot whenever we're in the mood to go out for lunch. We thought it would be a really fun idea to have them cater our wedding, and we could tie it all together with cute little signs with sayings like "life is burrito-ful with you" (maybe not quite that corny, but you get the idea). Even though we'd have to rent tableware/glassware and hire some people to bus the tables, it would still be thousands of

Text - My parents have been pretty laid back about our decisions, but they are adamant that we cannot serve Chipotle and that it would be cheap and tacky and reflect badly on them/us. My mom in particular is worried that family traveling from out of state will find it insulting. My fiance's parents think it's a little strange but they're not nearly as opinionated and are basically just like "do whatever you guys want."

Text - If it matters, my fiance and I are financing the majority of the wedding, but our parents have made some contributions as well. My parents have a family friend who runs a gorgeous event venue in our area and were able to negotiate a great deal for us, and they also offered to pay for the flowers and the cake, which we very much appreciate. My fiance's parents are paying for the rehearsal dinner. Would people really be that insulted by Chipotle at a wedding? WIBTA?

Text - ThaneOfCawdorrr • 10h Why don't you go to a smaller, perhaps nicer Mexican restaurant, and ask them to cater. You could then get tamales, taquitos, small appetizer type things, home made guacamole and chips, they could set out a giant chafing dish of carne asada, or carnitas, homemade tortillas, etc? You could also hire a bartender to make margaritas. It would taste a whole lot better, be more elegant, seem a lot more generous, and very likely would not cost that much more Plus you'd be g

Text - lisasimpsonfan • 18h • Colo-rectal Surgeon [49] NAH Is it tacky? Maybe depending on the venue. If you are having this formal wedding with an expensive high end venue it's going to look cheap AF to everyone if all you serve is Chipotle. They might call it "fast casual" but really it's still fast food. You might as well buy a couple 6' subs. Especially if you have family flying in and you serve fast food. OUCH. Now if you are doing more of a casual outdoor-isy type wedding then it's not so

Text - rcmjnbnoe • 18h NAH. Is this venue super formal?- if that's the case, I could see it raising some eyebrows, especially if you have people coming in from out of town. But then, I feel like there's a lot of people who would rather have tacos, BBQ, pizza, etc. than traditional wedding food (you always hear about bland wedding chicken). Weddings are expensive. If your guest list is in the 70s, depending on the size of your families, odds are good that you guys have pared down your guest list

Text - ggfangirl85 • 17h If you're having a big formal wedding, then it's a bit tacky to serve that kind of food. So messy with everyone in their finery. However if it's a casual wedding, that honestly sounds like a delicious menu. Ultimately it's your wedding and your money so you get to do what you want. NTA

Text - Golddustgirlboss • 7h I don't know. I think this will be a disaster. Like how are you going to expect them to get the 75 it's right and to you at the exact time you want with all the food still being hot? Sure it may be great for an office to order in lunch but there is a reason it's taboo for catering weddings. I understand your pain with costs but you need to consider too that people are going to give you a gift trying to cover the cost of the plate. So even if it costs $8000 think abou

Text - yikes-say-less • 15h Have you tried local businesses that do catering instead of catering companies? Because those have their own unique flavors and menus and are usually a lot less pricey. But if you want to do chipotle, do chipotle. Make it about your first date, make the presentation cute, and anybody who judges doesn't have a very great sense of humor and is kinda worried about the wrong thing. Celebrate your love how you want to celebrate, it's your wedding so no one else's opinions

Text - Oliver_Green • 18h • Asshole Aficionado [15] NTA. It's your wedding. If you want to married in an all nude ceremony under the full moon with a choir of barn cats in heat, you do you. I served appetizers at my wedding, I promise you that decision has no bearing on the rest of my life. If your family cares more about the food you serve than about being present and happy for you, they can leave. Those types will find something to gossip about anyway, don't plan your wedding around the Jones'

Text - Nixie_D • 18h • Asshole Enthusiast [5] NAH Chipotle isn't really a thing in my country. But running off of google, yeah, l'd consider it a bit tacky. But l'm not paying, so it really doesn't matter what I think. And at the same time could be awesome. All depends on how you do it. Maybe see if they can do something special for you? What I do know, food is generally rhe biggest expense at a wedding. And remembered best. Also check with the venue on if you can bring in food. I don't know if

Text - heyitssani • 12h YTA–if it's a formal wedding. I don't understand why people are saying it's fine because it's “free food" when you have to give gifts/money at a wedding. I think you should mention the menu with your guests beforehand so they can adjust their gift value.

14.

Text - Bairbearbarebear • 14h NAH but sounds tacky as hell and I get where your parents are coming from. Food is kind of the one big thing that guests get, and if the venue, cake, flowers etc. are fancy but you serve the guests CHIPOTLE, then it's kind of a slap in the face. I get that you got all the fancy stuff on the cheap, which is fab, but no one will know that. I totally get you in principle though, which is why I say NAH...but I don't think it's a good idea. No one really remembers detail

Text - justhewayouare • 15h NTA- your wedding your decision. The industry is ridiculous as it is and they basically rob people so screw them. Do your food your way and have a blast! l'd LOVE a wedding with Chipotle! l'd think you guys were the bomb hahaha. Food trucks and such at weddings isn't at all uncommon.

Text - CyborgsRHere •16h YTA You want the fancy venue, flowers and cake but not the food? Hold a brunch wedding but don't skimp out on the food. *do heavy apps instead of a full meal *a buffet, Which is a more variety of food (more economical options). *Potluck with catered options. People will remember the lack of food and possible beverages. When planning my own wedding I heard soo many stories of these types. People forget the venue. They remember the eats and drinks. There are economical opt

Text - TheGoblina • 7h This is a bad idea and you should not do it. I'm not calling it an asshole move, but it is definitely a bad move and inconsiderate of your guests. I don't accept the premise that your only options are $100/plate caterers or chipotle. There are other options you haven't explored yet. Playing it off as a sentimental nod to your first date is insufficient justification. I love chipotle but many people's bodies have strong digestive objections and I wouldn't want half my older

18.

Text - PiccChicc • 17h NTA and a great idea. It's special to you and your future wife. You didn't even need to bring up the dietary needs, it being perfect for the two of you is it.

19.

Text - Llamagr4m • 6h NAH but in a formal setting it will be extremely tacky. You need to decide what kind of a wedding YOU want and stick with that. If you're getting married at some manor with a live orchestra then yeah it will be tacky af and your guests will hate it.

20.

Text - Bobbob34 • 17h • Colo-rectal Surgeon [41] You do you but.... at a nice venue, I would find that decidedly odd. If it were a backyard thing, or at an Elk's Lodge or whatever, church basement reception I wouldn't be eating it, but I wouldn't think it was weird. Personally, I think it's gross, and btw, I hear everything has cilantro, so you probably want to order some stuff without, but it's your wedding. NAH but l'd reconsider the venue if that's what you want to do.

Text - late2reddit19 • 17h NTA. This is a matter of personal opinion. Would I personally serve Chipotle at my wedding? Never. But Chipotle seems to have a special significance since it was where you guys had your first date. That being said, I understand your parents thinking that it's tacky to serve only Chipotle at what seems to be a fancy wedding with out of town guests. For a lot of people, one of the main reason to go to a wedding is to eat the awesome food after the ceremony. If people are

Text - CharacterRoyal • 9h • Asshole Enthusiast [6] NAH, It's your wedding, but id be pretty disappointed if I went to a wedding that was catered with fast food, remember that its not just people your age coming to the wedding, there will be grandparents, aunts, uncles, older family friends etc. It's a wedding, it would be pretty tacky to have such a nice venue and ceremony and then serve chipotle. Like you might as well do a brunch for cheaper, weddings are one of the only times in normal peopl

23.

Text - AMerrickanGirl • 18h • Partassipant [1] NTA. But there's a cheaper alternative that isn't Chipotle. As soon as you tell a caterer it's a wedding, the price triples, so call a caterer and say it's a regular party.

White - Ovenproofcorgi • 14h NTA Chipotle is delicious.
