Wording advice... I don't want to offend

licibee

Our wedding is at a winery and we'll have the bar open for 4 1/2 hours.  I want to put a list of local cab companies on the bar for those who decide they want to party and aren't safe to drive home.  Do you ladies have any suggestions on wording?  I don't want anyone to be offended by wording...

I would just put it in a very noticable place where no one can miss it

and a big sign

TAXI PHONE LIST

don't worry that one or two people could be offended.

DUI is my absolute biggest anger issue!

this is something I'm really passionate about and honestly don't care if I offend. I plan on having our mc mention it and then the dj as well as a cab phone list.

Also make sure that your bartenders have a list.  I'll admit that as we were leaving our reception, a long line of cabs drove in to escort our drunk guests home.

I'm with you bridezillatobe.  I hate the idea of any of my guests being a danger to themselves or others!  Thanks for the advice ladies

Remember that tons of people hate to be told they have had too much to drink and refuse a taxi.  Don't let them because they could kill a woman with 5 young kids who will be lost without her

I like the idea of visibly publicizing this info at the reception. You can have the DJ mention it earlier in the night as well as closer to closing time. If a lot of your guests are staying at a hotel block, you could even see if that hotel has a shuttle that would run guests back, so it's free for them and you know they're getting back safe.

I didn't even think about this! What a great idea. Definitely going to be compiling a similar list for our reception!
