A social media debate is underway about whether brides should be asking their wedding guests to fulfill costly favors \u2014 such as baking a cake for the big day<\/a> \u2014 in place of gifts after a bride\u2019s specific inquiry was shared online for discussion.<\/p>\n

A Reddit user uploaded a Facebook post screenshot \u2014 which an anonymous bride-to-be reportedly wrote in a wedding planning group \u2014 to the “Wedding Shaming” subreddit, a 567,000-member forum where Reddit users shame wedding ideas, themes and social interactions.<\/p>\n

The anonymous bride appears to have asked members of the Facebook group if she\u2019s wrong for being upset that a friend she tasked with making her wedding cake is asking if she\u2019ll receive compensation for the ingredients<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I’ve asked my friend to make the wedding cake<\/a> for me for 75+ people and she’s come back asking if I’m contributing to the cost of the cake, as it’s going to cost her $300+ to make it,” the bride\u2019s post began, according to the uploaded screenshot.<\/p>\n

The post continued, “Am I wrong to be offended that she’s not gifting me the cake as a wedding present?”<\/p>\n

The screenshotted post was uploaded to the “Wedding Shaming” subreddit on Wednesday, Aug. 23, with a “greedy” label.<\/p>\n

Megan Nova, a New York City-based wedding planner and writer of the Awesome Bridal wedding planning blog, told Fox News Digital that the anonymous bride shouldn\u2019t be mad<\/a> at her friend for asking about ingredient cost contributions.<\/p>\n

“Wedding tradition and etiquette dictates that the bride\u2019s family caters for the wedding cake costs at the reception,” she said.<\/p>\n

Nova reasoned that the bride\u2019s friend may not be able to afford to make such a large cake for free.<\/p>\n

“The bride and her friend can come to a peaceful resolution by openly communicating<\/a> about the issue, actively listening to each other and reviewing options to find solutions that benefit each one of them,” said Nova.<\/p>\n

Personal finance and etiquette experts previously told FOX Business that $50 is an acceptable starting point<\/a> for wedding gifts, and guests can choose to spend more depending on their finances and their relationship with the bride or groom.<\/p>\n

Over 510 Reddit users upvoted the post<\/a> and dozens of users commented that they think the anonymous bride is being unreasonable for wanting her friend to cover all the cake-making costs.<\/p>\n

WHO PAYS FOR WHAT IN A WEDDING?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Several commenters pointed out that the friend only asked the bride to pay for cake ingredients and not the labor it will take to bake and decorate<\/a> the wedding cake.<\/p>\n

“If someone was a real friend, they would want to pay you for your time. As well as skills,” one Reddit user wrote. “I don’t like how people feel entitled to free services because their friend has a skill set that could be useful.”<\/p>\n

“Sure, discounts are nice, but your friends have bills to pay just like everyone else,” another Reddit user wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“If I hire a friend to do something for me (which I don\u2019t often, but I have), I pay full price and I\u2019m happy to do so.”<\/p>\n

One Reddit user questioned if the anonymous bride would be willing to spend $300 on a wedding gift for her friend<\/a> if their roles were reversed.<\/p>\n

The Reddit user guessed the bride “probably” wouldn\u2019t be generous enough to purchase a $300 wedding gift or provide a $300 wedding service.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Why should she expect her friend to spend $300 on ingredients? We\u2019re not even talking about the value of her time and skill here,” the Reddit user wrote.<\/p>\n

Another Reddit user wrote that she was “gifted a cake by a friend” who “never made a cake before,” but offered to do it anyway.<\/p>\n

“I offered to pay her for the time and supplies. She declined and made it the wedding gift from her and her husband,” the Reddit user went on.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“At no point did I assume anything would be done as a gift or for free. It should never be assumed.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
