Miss Manners, Emily Post, Dear Prudence, Amy Vanderbilt, etc. have made careers out of letting people know what is accepted and what is not. Just because something is popular doesn't mean it isn't tacky. If you are hosting an event you should provide the refreshments. That's simple hospitality.
But you are right - if you decide to something your own way, you should feel free to do so. However, you don't get to dictate other people's reactions to what you chose to do. The best part of tacky weddings is the stories they provide - see related threads.
Whitedaisy - I LOVE your rehearsal dinner invite. And I also love the idea of reusing the dress. Mine was NOT the one I ordered - I ended up giving it to the Salvation Army, but keeping my veil for my daughters.
