Pot luck is a very fun way to do food. Just make sure if you choose this, one person organizes who is bringing what food and one person is in charge of setting everything up - tables, coolers or frig, grills or oven. Not the bride or groom. Did this for my wedding and helped a friend with this for hers this spring.

Oooh! Also a good suggestion. Esp if you have a potluck in lieu of presents.

I *really* want to do a potluck. What I want to do is us pay for a roasting a pig or a side of beef, and then do an assigned potluck for the sides.

Ian has totally balked at this, simply because he's a food snob. Even with an assigned potluck to avoid the "50 bags of salad and 1 dessert" problem, he's scared that other people's cooking skills won't be up to his standards. I'm irritated as hell at this.

I see his point
I loathe potlucks because I can't trust that everyone washes their hands when they cook or uses a spice other than salt
