Hi Ladies!!
My fiance and I are getting married next June in Menomonee Falls, WI. I've read through a lot of postings on this on other boards and just wanted to get some more local Wisconsin input
Almost every article and posting I've read says that to do any type of cash bar is a big no no and tacky. Personally, i've been to several weddings (ranging all sorts of budges, venues, ect in WI) and only ever gone to one that was truely a full open bar. Every other wedding I have gone to is typically beer and soda or beer or a signature coctail , wine and soda are open/free and then there is a cash bar for anything else.
Is it tacky to just host beer and soda or beer, wine, and soda and then have a cash bar available for mixed drinks? Reason being, I don't want to completely double the cost of dinner (+ 20% gratuity) with the bar bill if I can avoid it.
Prices for beer wine and soda only per person are $20
Prices for just beer and soda are $18
Prices for House Brand Open Bar are $22
Prices for Call& Premium are $24
Any suggestions are welcome! Thank you!
