Congratulations to the betrothed, but a question.
Do you mean a potLUCK feast? Where everyone brings something to share?
Or a potLATCH, which is: 1 : a ceremonial feast of the American Indians of
the northwest coast marked by the host's lavish distribution of gifts or
sometimes destruction of property to demonstrate wealth and generosity with
the expectation of eventual reciprocation (circa 1861, Chinook Jargon)
