Budget weddings are a badge of honor for most families, yet apparently, saving up is so last season. Why wait and plan when you can treat your timeline like a rolling GoFundMe? Social media gets roped into the campaign, transforming what used to be invitations into persistent payment requests, accompanied by regular updates about how close we are to financing tomorrow’s cake. The family soon finds itself joining the crowd, at least considering itjust so the big day includes both flowers and the promise of a getaway for the newlyweds.

Every new “support our special day” post means another chance to practice the subtle art of hiding confusion at the budget breakdown. Guests supply cake, relatives cover dinner, and somehow, even the bouquets need a little crowdfunding cheer. It’s a mess of QR codes, cash apps, and barely-veiled dread about what viral wedding finance will inspire next.

No matter how the weekend goes, there’s a good chance the honeymoon gets paid off before the couple even learns who made the mashed potatoes.
‘Is this like a generational thing that’s normal??’: Gen Z bride-to-be tries to crowdfund wedding and honeymoon by posting Cash App links to everyone she knows, leaving her sister and family baffled and embarrassed
I've heard my fair share of creative wedding stories, but I'm pretty sure this one takes the cake, that is, if the guests are willing to pay for said cake because it looks like Gen Z invents a new level of matrimony multitasking by asking friends, family, and even that barista from last summer for a couple of bucks toward the dream wedding and tropical getaway. Bouquets start costing bridesmaid donations, and the list of soft asks stretches longer than the vows.
Some wedding trends are easy to laugh off, but this one might set a new record for creative nerve. Imagine firing up social media just to find a steady stream of QR codes and cash app links from a couple crowdfunding not just their wedding, but the honeymoon, bouquets, and every slice of cake. Even people who aren't invited end up on the donation list, while bridesmaids get tapped to sponsor the flowers. All that, and the celebration hasn't even started yet.
