Overheard at Starbucks
I was meeting with a client at Starbucks when I couldn't help but overhear a woman discussing her wedding with her DJ. They were planning the intros, dances, etc.
She tells him, "We're having a cash bar, but our close friends and the bridal party can drink for free. We'll be picking up their bar tab. Everyone else will have to pay for their drinks... Would you please announce this after the intros?"
No, I didn't say anything to her, but I wanted to

I mean, it is one thing to do it, but to not even be embarassed about it, or think it is a good idea to keep it a secret?

Exactly what all of you said.
Plus, this is further proof that vendors will validate any bad idea a bride has... I'm sure the DJ knew this was wrong, but he wasn't going to rock the boat
I once went to a conference where older members (join date, not age wise) received free drinks while the rest paid. Guess who became my best friends

Unless, like squirrly said, the 'VIP' have a password. Don't you think people might notice that they aren't paying though?

Ditto. Yes the maid of honor needs 5 drinks at one time, do not question it.
Wow... I just made a How I Met Your Mother reference... my sister would be proud.

Confession: I've done this.
So I was the GF at the time paying for my Diet Coke and he had booze for free.
Yeah - thankfully I was only a date at the time. People at our table were p!ssed.
