We are on a tight/strict budget and want to provide for our guests. Without going into debt. My parents are picking up the food bill, but adding another $6-7,000 onto our plate is not do-able.
We're not sold on the beer and wine only because we don't even like beer and wine and would be a bit disappointed if we couldn't drink at our wedding and others. We'll also be closing the bar for dinner and 30 minutes before the end.
In what ways were you able to negotiate this part of the reception or does anyone have any good signature cocktail ideas?
