Is this idea too tacky?!


Question: Is this idea too tacky!?
My friends and I are taking a cross country trip soon and we're having a going away party this Sunday!. We were thinking of putting out a "gas fund" donation jar!.

When I heard the idea I thought it was funny and clever, but my family all said it's tacky to do!.

So, I'm not sure!. Is this okay to do, or would this just be too tacky!?

Thanks!Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
i wouldnt say tacky!.!. its just kinda like the wishing well at weddings!.!. but maybe a bit extreme if your having a party cause your going away and kinda asking your friends to help pay!.!. but it depends on what your friends are like, if they will think its cool!.!. then its up to you!.!.!. really depends how far and long your going away!.!. if your going to be gone for a little while!. then ppl might give you money just to sort of help you out as a nice gesture!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I do notthink it is Tacky!. These days you do what you have to!. I have even seen Jars at a going away party that read!.!.!."For College" or Little fake tree's that people pin thier money on it for good luck in the Future!. Have Fun on your Road Trip!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Why not!? It's a "donation", those who want to, can donate, those that don't want to, don't have to!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

putting it out for who!? Your boyfriends!? other girlfriends!? In any case gas is overpriced so I'd think people would be understanding, I'd go for it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

btw if family thinks its tacky then they should flip the gas
bill themselves!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
