I tend to feel the same about other rather rude practices such as cash bars/drink tickets. If you're monitoring your guest's drink consumption on that level, you need to elope.
You have no idea.

There's a family wedding that has featured the following:
  1. Save the Date TEXTS. Not even a postcard, regular e-mail, or Paperless Post.
  2. When they decided to change the date, there was no official announcement.
  3. Kids who were originally asked to be in the wedding party were removed when they realized they couldn't afford the extra plates.
  4. Invitees received a text (in Prince speak) asking if they were going to come because otherwise they wouldn't send an invite.
  5. A decision was made that there would be no children at the wedding, which is more than fine. They asked a teenager to babysit...for free, which is NOT fine.

It's just clear that they cannot afford the wedding to which they feel entitled. What's wrong with eloping?
