Well, this is one way to save coins! A New York couple is going viral after revealing that they saved thousands of dollars by charging their wedding guests a fee to attend. Nova and Reemo Styles had their guests cough up $333 each to join them at their love celebration, per ABC 7.
And I said, ‘People choose to go to Beyoncé concerts because they know that they’re gonna have an experience. Let’s put the stress on the guests, and let’s sell tickets for a wedding,” she said.
Ultimately, 60 of the 150 invited guests paid and came, per The Daily Mail. However, others clapped back about the $333 fee, and an estimated 80% of their guests bowed out. Nova recalled an invitee asking them, “Who do you guys think you are? Jay-Z and Beyoncé?” The bride, Nova, recently told ABC 7 that they considered their wedding a premium event and decided guests should pay the price.

I'd just plain ole decline and try to refrain from an angry decline.
OMG.
Did the article say that 80% opted out? What is WRONG with the other 20%?
Oops, I meant wouldn’t
I know I wouldn’t.
in many countries/cultures, wedding attendees give $$cash as a wedding gift - which may more-or-less covers the cost of the wedding itself.
For friends and relatives who can't attend, he's going to try to figure out how to zoom televise it.
Confused. It says 60 of the 150 invited accepted. Then it says 80% declined.
What idiots, All
Love the groomsman outfits.
🙄
black math 😏
At least they are marrying
A rarity their demo
Not an Italian wedding I surmise.
At a NY Italian weeding people bring cash gifts. Just watch the godfather wedding scene where Paulie Gatto says
“ Thirty, forty grand. In small bills cash, in that little silk purse. Madon’, if this was somebody else’s wedding, sfortunato!”
“At least they are marrying”
Yeah, because they figured out a GRIFT! LOL!
Chances are they won’t be married a year from now.
Agreed—in our area we see more moose families than fully intact black families.
I have not seen a black couple with children in years.
I am not kidding.
Did the bridesmaids have to pay for those hideous dresses? Did the groomsmen have to pay for those awful pink tuxedos (with shorts, no less)?
Also, could guests pay the $333 with EBT?
I’d be okay with it, but no wedding gift.
If that’s not chutzpah I don’t know what is.
“I have not seen a black couple with children in years.”
You must not watch tv.....cuz they’re ALL complete families in commercials. TOTALLY REAL! Lol!
I was charged $10 to go to a reception in NYC in the early ‘90s. It was held in an upstairs yoga studio in Greenwich Village, and featured finger food and a pasta dish (groom is Italian), and no seating. The best man, an aged Forfham professor climbed a worker’s ladder in the middle of the room to toast the couple. The Yoga Studio had a sign on the door, “No Smoking, and No Cats”. I would love to hear the story that led to that.
Th couple are still happily married, as far as I know.
