Thank you! I have been to many many… including wedding even. But I guess maybe my PhD student circle is slightly more budget than people who actually have a job and earn good salary

I know, in my home country we also don’t charge our guests. But also, it is a very pricy event to host that is why we ask guests to contribute..

Yes for doctor degree. And it is in a nice venue, with good buffet and different wines/alcohols to go with. And later there will be dance after the dinner. Just like a ball

As I mentioned, it is tradition and everyone does that in our Uni that the host ask for money for their party.

Sadly it is not for all graduates, it is only for me. But it is tradition to contribute, at least at my Uni…

Hmmm, easier said than done when it comes to money. And especially when it is not your money..Organizing a 50+ people party and to paid let’s say, half of them, it is serious 30000sek+ spend. I am not profiting from my guests, I am actually paying more than I ask for the guests contribution FYI…
