Bride wants guest to take out trash.
Re: Bride wants guest to take out trash.
Oh for heavens sakes. How tacky.
DH and I once got an invite that asked everyone to bring a dish to the wedding as they were trying to keep costs down (I kid you not, that's what the invite said) and then it said 'As we will be moving to another state right after the wedding and will need to travel light, we're asking for gift cards only. Stores that are around the XX area are: and then they listed the stores.
I about died. And we didn't go. Or give them a gift.

That bride has a lot of gall.
I've only helped clean up after my sisters' weddings. For family friends & friends I've done minor clean up after being asked politely and well in advance.
You totally should have sent them a gift.
A set of used 50 pound hand weights.
I wanted to but H used to work with the groom, so he vetoed that. H is so no fun sometimes.
I mean, things here in Utah are generally really relaxed when it comes to weddings. And by relaxed, I mean tacky but this one was outrageous.

That's kind of where I am. If I know they're on a low budget and doing the best they can, and the family is pitching in by choice, I don't mind lending a hand. I'm a neat freak anyway. But to be assigned a job? Hell no.
If I did go to the wedding, I'd put my trash in the trash can. But am I going to bus the room and drag the trash to the dumpster? No way. I'm supposed to be a guest. That bride needs to hire some local high school kids to do the cleaning.
