We had about 12 people that no showed and paid much more then that per plate. Was I disappointed/irritated that I spent close to $1000 that we couldn't afford in the first place to feed people that didn't eat? Yes, of course. I certainly didn't call them out on facebook though.

Did you get leftovers? That would be hilarious.
Are you asking if we got to take the leftovers home from the hall? No we did not.

I probably wouldn't have noticed until the reception, but I would be pissed if that many people didn't show. I would not have posted anything on fb though.
Look, it blows to spend $$$ on people that don't show. Those people suck (unless there was an emergency or something obv). But I have a feeling that this FB post of hers may be a strong indication as to why people didn't make an effort to show...

THAT would piss me off. If I've paid 80 a head for no shows, I expect the food to be boxed up and sent home with me.
I had 12 no shows and they certainly boxed it all up for us. We didn't care how janky it looked. We were working college students that paid for our whole 200 person wedding completely OOP. I didn't call anybody out on Facebook though
Somehow "best wedding ever" and a snotty bride who spent the grand sum of $27 a head doesn't really add up.
In wonder if that was just food? I know our venue had costs broken out. So it was only $17pp for the meal, but that did not include the booze, cake, appetizers, venue fee, ceremony fee ect ect.
But we also has a super cheap wedding for our area since we paid for it ourselves and weren't rolling in the green lol Lets just say we did not serve filet mignon
I'm surprised more people haven't commented on how she started naming people she wished she would have invited instead of the no-shows. I'd be so embarrassed to see that in my feed if I was one of the not-quite invitees.
I can't imagine posting that on fb, and obviously never would.
But unless there was a community disaster or widespread illness, it's highly unlikely 27 people all had an emergency come up. I would be irritated too.

In my experience, the amount spent on a wedding doesn't have to mean it's better than another wedding where less $$ was spent. Some of my favorite weddings were lower budget!
I hear you on the bride's attitude possibly affecting the vibe of the wedding though.
One about how military life doesn't support the leave.
Clearly the FB call out is dumb, but come on, this is NOT a TOTS moment. If your career doesn't allow time off requests you RSVP no. simple.
I side eye the people here who are "only $27/pp" money is money. I also don't RSVP to weddings based on how much I think they are spending on me and I don't not show once I find out it's < $30.
