Hey Ladies,

I am super indecisive about whether we should have one of three types of bars. What are you doing?

    We're doing full cocktail hour because it came with the package we chose. If it didn't, we would have just done beer and wine only.

    I voted siggy drinks, beer, wine, & champagne...however, that is MY plan. FI's plan is to host a full open bar. After EVERYTHING else is paid for, if he still wants to do that, I won't object, but it is not priority at this point.

    During the cocktail hour we will serve signature drink, wine, and beer. After that it will be full bar. I found a great bartender last night at a bridal show in my area and he charges by the bottles opened not per person. Also he's going to allow us to do an option for setting a cap and then once we reach that cap it will be a cash bar.

    Our venue offers a full bar for the cocktail hour. But if I had to choose I would go with option #3..!!

    We're doing the full bar plus the signature drink...but that's because it was part of our package. If I didnt have that option, I would go with option 3.

    Thanks ladies. I'm feeling #3 but FI wants #1.

    I just don't want anyone to feel resentful that they can't have a whiskey sour at the cocktail hour :(

    I wanted signature drinks, but FI says "what if they don't like it?"  I said they woudl like SOMETHING!!  But he insisted on full bar.  So here we are, lol  It's SO funny how they say they want to be hands off, but chime in at the most inopportune times!  Gotta Love 'em.
