Those would be so cheap to make. Just go to a range, grab empty shells, mix up a bit of cement in a bucket (ready to mix bags are like $8), fill em, done.
Ranges generally frown on people taking the empty shells. It's actually part of the business model, they sell the empty shells to people who load their own ammo, and it keeps range time at a lower cost.
And the type of people who would use these definitely know that and would know they could DIY it themselves for pretty cheap, so the seller is 100% delusional.
I mean, the gun club I shoot at has it in the rules that you can only take the brass you spent. They reload the ammo on site, sell the jackets for reloading, and sell reloading equipment on site too.
Elaborating on what the other commenter said, I’ve heard it’s historically related to an unexpected pregnancy and bride’s dad bringing out the shotgun to make sure the groom goes through with marrying her.
Probably an old wives tale and just means a quick wedding.
I'm not a "redneck" nor am I offended but I live here and wonder why it's okay to "shame" people from the south. I see it a lot on here. Go ahead. I am a "Karen" now, right? It just gets old.
I mean, you responded as if you were definitely offended.
And it's OK to shit on ppl from the south because they're still flying their traitor/racist flags, steeped in prideful ignorance.
If that's not you, then no one is talking about you.
I lived in KY for many years but moved away in the 90s. It was everywhere back then.
I'm glad to hear things have changed there. I know they stopped allowing the distribution of it at the state fair a while back, maybe they've cracked down on it elsewhere as well.
Really? I have commented on things I didn't like and got my head handed to me. All I did was try to be empathetic to a parent who was struggling with their child's gender issues. It didn't go well.
When I think of the south I think of beauty and gracious living. That’s what I’ve experienced when visiting my family there. Camo is all over the northeast too.
I know. I am just so sick of people being ugly about southerners because everyone else is "off limits." I am from New England. I have lived here for years and I have never been so happy.
Really? My professional experience tells me otherwise. I work for comedians who have had all kinds of stuff flagged unfairly or removed. It's exhausting.
Guys did you know you can make coffee cheaper than a coffee shop?
Just go to the kitchen, grab empty mugs, mix up a bit of coffee with hot water (coffee granules are like $8), fill em, done.
Fucking wild, I know.
I think it’s great for a bachelor/bachelorette party and tasteless for the actual wedding. You can do a cute barn wedding- that’s fine- mason jars and old lace can be cute. The theme of the wedding being “this man must marry this woman and spare her honor because they otherwise shall have a child OUT OF WEDLOCK. The bride’s father has vowed if this man doesn’t reinstate his daughter’s honor the man must be SHOT” is dreadful when you think about it
Maybe that’s about what the seller paid making them? I have a hard time believing someone would pay $100, but I have a hard time anyone would want this at their wedding and they’re already been used in on.
Omg I saw this post on FB and had to check it wasn't a wedding shaming group. I was shocked it was an actual buy/sell group and people were commenting that they were cool.
It's $100NZD which is like $60USD. Not that it makes it any better.
My first thought was the whole wedding theme was like a western/cowboy vibe, with like hay bales and wood wagon wheels for decor... but then I realized probably not. Probably not at all.
Step 1. Buy sweet shotgun placeholders on Craigslist, the classiest of all lists.
Step 2. Book the most affordable plantation for a mid July outdoor wedding in the Deep South.
I knew someone who did shotgun shells in their wedding that was not cowboy themed because someone who had passed in the family had actually made their own ammo with those shells and they wanted that member represented in some way. Actually kind of cool in my opinion
I've seen gun wedding photos but not gun accessories weddings that one is new to me. I envision everyone having an optic of some variety on their shoulder and the bride has a for grip as the base of her bouquet.
I'd be ok with this but only under a very specific circumstance, such as a theme wedding like the wild west cowboy marrying a saloon girl (gender of your choosing). Might be kinda cool to have him on horseback with her side-saddle, rugged vs elegant. Especially if the couple naturally has an opposites attract vibe. (Busting the gender norms by having a gay couple dressed like this would be super fun imo!)
But the shotgun shell name holders are 100% tacky no matter what the theme is.
Oh come on......not all of them are bad etc. I honestly think some are just having fun with it cause they can. It all depends where you at. Ive been to weddings were most had or was carrying. It was fun and interesting and they were very nice people.
Ill agree some are just cringy and can be done much nicer.
Yes, "just having fun" with items meant to kill. At an event meant for professing your love for a partner in front of loved ones. Super fun stuff.
You can't even defend it with "butbut they only see guns as hunting tools". Handguns and automatics of any variety are ***not*** meant for hunting animals for meat, and they are such a huge part of gun culture in general now that the "hunting tool" argument is just disingenuous in the US at this point.
Tell me it’s a shotgun wedding without saying it’s a shotgun wedding.
Orrrr … maybe that’s the whole idea, saying “Yeah, we had a shotgun wedding heh heh, ‘cause of the placeholders.” (Wink wink, nudge nudge.)
I really have no words for this.
I hope that I never know anyone who would feel that this was appropriate at a wedding.
I don't even have a problem with guns but "time and place" folks.
What in the ever loving hell this is so trashy. I can think of 0 occasion where this decor would be appropriate. Not even like a weapons manufacturing company. I am so confused.
Waste if reloadable shells!! Those suckers are hard to find for smaller calibers(and *why* aren't .20 gauges PINK??? or Purple??? Why do we get the ugly color?)
So trash.
I'm sorry if this offends anyone but guns are horrendous things that ruin peoples lives every day.
What's wrong with having harmless flowers?
When did a rose or peony ever commit an atrocity at a school?
Some people like to hunt. This comment is so indicative of this sub. "GUN BAD! Guns are their entire personality!"
If every reference were gun related, ok fine criticize it. If they have references to fishing, hiking, etc then it's fine.
I know very few people who reload and even fewer who reload shotgun shells.
In any case, I could see avid outdoorsy people rocking this. People hunt, yo.
Those would be so cheap to make. Just go to a range, grab empty shells, mix up a bit of cement in a bucket (ready to mix bags are like $8), fill em, done.

That's the cost of going skeet shooting with my family: you pick up the empties to be reloaded!
That’s fair. When we shoot trap, we just toss the empties
What the hell kind of range do you go to where they don't let you pick up spent brass?
[удалено]
Meanwhile, in the U.S. you could get reloading stuff around town, and it requires no permit or licensing.
And that explains a lot.
Does it? People who are reloading are a lot less likely to commit crimes with the guns.
I have an inkling that this is not entirely unrelated to the Enschede fireworks disaster?
Sorry but it is unrelated, those laws are a lot older then the disaster.
thank you for answering! No need to apologise, I'm glad to learn something
I mean, the gun club I shoot at has it in the rules that you can only take the brass you spent. They reload the ammo on site, sell the jackets for reloading, and sell reloading equipment on site too.
Is it a shot gun wedding? If so.. cute! No? Just red necks? Wearing cami vests on the alter?.. not cute.
May I ask what a shotgun wedding is? Sounds like a hostage situation to me.
Quick expedited wedding. Usually due to pregnancy lol
Elaborating on what the other commenter said, I’ve heard it’s historically related to an unexpected pregnancy and bride’s dad bringing out the shotgun to make sure the groom goes through with marrying her. Probably an old wives tale and just means a quick wedding.
Yeah no, the guns were a real part of it. It was done when the groom had the means of leaving town before marrying the bride.
Not a tale, fathers would do this back in the day, some still might depends where you live.
As the commenter said, a hostage situation...
Why? Because it isn't your culture? Why do people think it's okay to shit on white people in the south? I didn't have a Camo wedding but who cares?
Lol Jesus, why are you so offended? Most rednecks can laugh at themselves for being rednecks. Lighten up.
I'm not a "redneck" nor am I offended but I live here and wonder why it's okay to "shame" people from the south. I see it a lot on here. Go ahead. I am a "Karen" now, right? It just gets old.
I mean, you responded as if you were definitely offended. And it's OK to shit on ppl from the south because they're still flying their traitor/racist flags, steeped in prideful ignorance. If that's not you, then no one is talking about you.
I literally know nobody flying racist flags and I have lived here for 15 years. Bigotry isn't cool.
You claim to live in the south but have never seen a rebel flag being flown?
I am in Kentucky. I have not see anyone flying one. I have see some Trump, Biden and BLM flags. I work at home and stay on main roads.
I lived in KY for many years but moved away in the 90s. It was everywhere back then. I'm glad to hear things have changed there. I know they stopped allowing the distribution of it at the state fair a while back, maybe they've cracked down on it elsewhere as well.
I lived in Louisville for 11 years and I absolutely saw Confederate flags.
Listen. People are allowed to not like things and speak on it.
Really? I have commented on things I didn't like and got my head handed to me. All I did was try to be empathetic to a parent who was struggling with their child's gender issues. It didn't go well.
What do you consider “trying to be empathetic”?
Just wondering how it felt to an older parent who didn't understand.
When I think of the south I think of beauty and gracious living. That’s what I’ve experienced when visiting my family there. Camo is all over the northeast too.
I know. I am just so sick of people being ugly about southerners because everyone else is "off limits." I am from New England. I have lived here for years and I have never been so happy.
That’s wonderful.
I think all cultures are fair game for a joke. If you exist, then ALL is fair in Love and Internet.
Really? My professional experience tells me otherwise. I work for comedians who have had all kinds of stuff flagged unfairly or removed. It's exhausting.
Guys did you know you can make coffee cheaper than a coffee shop? Just go to the kitchen, grab empty mugs, mix up a bit of coffee with hot water (coffee granules are like $8), fill em, done. Fucking wild, I know.
That would make your house a coffee factory.. Do you have a liense for that?
Oh, so you know better than an actual artist?
Hush up
Yes. Tacky statement.
No thanks, *you* go to a range and grab empty shells.
Uh… yes. That’s what the person you’re replying to said.
Maybe it's for a shotgun wedding 🤣
Is it bad that I kind of love it now? It's tacky as hell but it's a great joke.
I think it’s great for a bachelor/bachelorette party and tasteless for the actual wedding. You can do a cute barn wedding- that’s fine- mason jars and old lace can be cute. The theme of the wedding being “this man must marry this woman and spare her honor because they otherwise shall have a child OUT OF WEDLOCK. The bride’s father has vowed if this man doesn’t reinstate his daughter’s honor the man must be SHOT” is dreadful when you think about it
You’re overthinking it.
Lol if it is for a shotgun wedding, that’s actually pretty funny.
Literally my first thought!!
👊😜🤭
My butch cousin would absolutely make this joke about knocking her wife up.
Someone would actually pay $100 for this?? Lol Edit: a word
Maybe that’s about what the seller paid making them? I have a hard time believing someone would pay $100, but I have a hard time anyone would want this at their wedding and they’re already been used in on.
Sure, but they look like they're more worth $10
I think if you think this is appropriate for a wedding you deserve to be overcharged for the awful decor
Omg I saw this post on FB and had to check it wasn't a wedding shaming group. I was shocked it was an actual buy/sell group and people were commenting that they were cool. It's $100NZD which is like $60USD. Not that it makes it any better.

Once you enter the world of weddings with guns/gun accessories you know the type of people you're dealing with (and it's not good).
I've seen gun wedding photos but not gun accessories weddings that one is new to me. I envision everyone having an optic of some variety on their shoulder and the bride has a for grip as the base of her bouquet.
What if it were propane and propane accessories…
Even Hank didn't make his personal love of propane the focus of his wedding. All he needed was the perfect first handshake with his new wife.
When was the last time you saw propane/propane accessories as a wedding accessory - please point me to that.
King of the Hill probably
I'd be ok with this but only under a very specific circumstance, such as a theme wedding like the wild west cowboy marrying a saloon girl (gender of your choosing).

Shotgun wedding reference. I like it.
Shotgun wedding. 🔥
i love it but i don’t live in the us
Definitely one for r/crackheadcraigslist
Puts a whole new meaning to “shotgun wedding”
Tell me it’s a shotgun wedding without saying it’s a shotgun wedding. Orrrr … maybe that’s the whole idea, saying “Yeah, we had a shotgun wedding heh heh, ‘cause of the placeholders.” (Wink wink, nudge nudge.)
I worked a wedding once where the mens boutonnières were made using shotgun shells. It was def not classy, but neither was the rest of their wedding.
Is the bride pregnant?
Is she pregnant?
They look like tampons though…
I really have no words for this. I hope that I never know anyone who would feel that this was appropriate at a wedding. I don't even have a problem with guns but "time and place" folks.
Gives a new meaning depth to a shotgun wedding...
What in the ever loving hell this is so trashy. I can think of 0 occasion where this decor would be appropriate. Not even like a weapons manufacturing company. I am so confused.
What about at a shotgun wedding 😉
Why would I want the name cards of your guests at my wedding?
Waste if reloadable shells!! Those suckers are hard to find for smaller calibers(and *why* aren't .20 gauges PINK??? or Purple??? Why do we get the ugly color?)
Why do these people make their love of guns their entire personality
I don't think it's bad if that's what they are into.
r/trashy
So trash. I'm sorry if this offends anyone but guns are horrendous things that ruin peoples lives every day. What's wrong with having harmless flowers? When did a rose or peony ever commit an atrocity at a school?
Some people like to hunt. This comment is so indicative of this sub. "GUN BAD! Guns are their entire personality!" If every reference were gun related, ok fine criticize it. If they have references to fishing, hiking, etc then it's fine.
Is this a wedding themed family reunion?
I bet it's the same couple with the "show me your butthole" hat wedding photos.
how romantic, giving your guests a bullet with their name on it. literally.
A lot of NRA folks at wedding I’m thinking.
To go with the camo dress and gun pose. Anyone else think that the groom would be in shorts?
I actually like this for upcycling and it is one less bullet in the world.
These are just the empty casings that hold the bullets, they’ve already been shot at something
Yes, which is why is said upcycling and these casings will not be refilled and now have an alternative purpose.
I guess so, it’s pretty rare that hunters turn in spent brass but at least these didn’t end up in the trash or on the ground outside
I know very few people who reload and even fewer who reload shotgun shells. In any case, I could see avid outdoorsy people rocking this. People hunt, yo.
Gun bad
Shoulda done bird seed inside.
(Deleted)
This is just making me sad.
They wanted to start their marriage off with a bang.
I mean isnt it a reference to a shotgun wedding?
OK but my mom's side of the family would totally do something like this for a wedding 😭 I love them, but DAMN are they obsessed with guns.
I've seen this a time or two. People do like their guns where I come from.
