want to have an open bar but don't want to pay the per person package ...want to have the per consumption but want to have control of it....not how much guest drinks but don't want to be overcharged...when my best friend got married she had an open bar and she opted for the per consumption not the per package as a lot of the guest are non drinkers, she ended up getting charged more than she hope for...equivalent of about 1 1/2 bottles of wine and 2 drinks for each of the guest including the kids....mind boggling how it ended up that way but apparently that was the count from the bartender...after that, when a family member got married she came out with free coin, color coded to soft drinks, beer, wine and mixed drinks...she had a Heaven on earth theme wedding, so had an Angel by the bar giving free coins...she only paid the hotel for the amount of coin they got....her bar bill about $600 for 110 guest...
Now, here is where I need y'all ideas...I want to save money and have the same open bar but don't want to be charged...don't want to do the drink ticket cause I don't want to limit the number of drinks the guest can have....just want to pay for the actual comsumption....how will I do this with a Cowboy Cassanova/Moultin rouge theme....Silver Dollar coins????? what to call it....thank you!
