bar at the reception

tracynmaria

Hi Ladies,

I need some advice for our reception we are having a limited bar , beer, wine and sangria. My question is do i let my guests know on my invitation that the bar is limited???? and what is the proper way to let them know...

thanks

If you have a website you can let them know that way, otherwise i don't think it is a big deal that you are not serving mixed drinks or liquor.

We're not serving any alcohol other than champagne for the toast and I'm not advertising it.  I don't think you should have to.  If someone's attendance is contigent upon whether or not alcohol will be served then you probably don't want them there anyways...just my 2 cents.

I agree with Bre.... don't bother advertising it since it shouldn't change whether someone attends or not. However, if it's mentioned, I see no reason to keep it a secret either.

I am having two drink tickets per adult guest and 1 champagne toast per adult guest and included that info on the reception detail insert of my pocketfold invite.  I know it's not required, but I didn't want people to be surprised and not bring money  incase they want to drink a lot.  It was just so they could be prepared.  Just my two cents.  It'l be fine either way I'm sure.

I don't think you need to warn anyone in advance of a limited bar, in my experience a lot of weddings in the South have limited bars. We had an open bar at ours and while it definitely kept the party going, it had its downsides- people got pretty crazy and a few guests even got so drunk their significant others took them home from the party early. So bottom line, I think there is nothing wrong with a limited bar and it might strike the perfect balance between fun party and things getting out of control

I agree with everyone else no need for a warning. People are usually ok when there isnt an open bar and if they aren't too bad.

I don't think I've ever been 'informed' of the bar situation at any wedding I've gone to.  I think it's completely up to the bride and groom.  Just make sure that what ever you decide that it's what YOU want (and of course your groom)
