Wow! Everyone seems to get up in arms at cash bars. I haven seen that before on posts. I have personally been to many weddings throughout my life, and I can honestly say that it is a rare occasion that it is a totally open bar, at least in my experience. A lot of times I see a free cocktail hour, or maybe free wine bottles on tables and free champagne toasts. For the most part, though I see some sort of cash bar and I am not at all offended. My FI and I were lucky enough that our venue automatically includes open bar in their price packages and they were pretty reasonable. But, I wouldn't be at all offended to go to a wedding where there was a cash bar. In fact, we had relatives in our family get extremely mad that we were opting to spend the money on open bar! We are getting some financial help, but FI and I are paying for most of it on our own. More than one relative (not related to one another) commented that we should not waste our money on open bar. We had to fight people to tell them it was included and we were happy about that! So, I don't see anything wrong with that, if that's what you need to do. Remember, the people you invite to your wedding are close family and friends and they will understand.

Her name is Lucy, and she is the main attraction of Margate, NJ on the Jersey shore. We can fit about 85 people inside - it is a building, and you get in through these little spiral staircases in her legs. She was built in the 1880s to try to attract tourists away from Atlantic City (mostly unsuccessfully) and she actually predates the Moulin Rouge elephant by about five years.

Never been to an open bar. I also would personally be offended and annoyed if my guests were annoyed I had a cash bar. Why do I need to pay for them to get drunk? They do not need to drink. IT's nice to pay for part or even all I guess, but I do not consider it a necessity.
I've been to 7 weddings with open bar (including my own), and 1 with a cash bar. The cash bar was a big surprise, and with no ATM on-site I couldn't even have a glass of wine with dinner (2-3 glasses of wine is usually my limit at weddings). Between that and it taking 4 hours for dinner to be served, it was the most boring wedding ever.

I've actually never been to a wedding with a cash bar, and I'd be somewhat surprised and unprepared if I encountered one. I wouldn't rain down the hell fires of the Etiquette board if I did, though. I'd deal, and probably drink soda.

Yes I did. I decided you weren't worth it because I don't want to argue about this anymore. I know what cyber-bullying is. You don't know me so you don't know what I know.
I'm not a pansy, but I know what arguements to give up on. And you definitely aren't worth it.
And this is what I mean by being rude. You called me a pansy when I did absouletely nothing to you besides tell you to drop a subject that I already apologized for.
I think that proves my point that you are being a bully.
Dude, Casey, cyberbullying is when your friend's mom makes up a pretend teenage boy who falls in love with you on the internet and then tells you they hate you, so you kill yourself. Or it's streaming your roommate's hookup on the internet. Or taking racy photos of somebody and then texting them to the entire school.
Don't try to equate a few people disagreeing about whether cash bars are tacky with the real, serious, horrible issues that are actually happening in the world. Calling today's thread cyberbullying is cheapening all of the tragic real cyberbullying that happens.
Wait, am I worth it or not? Make up your mind, woman! Fine, I am a cyber bully. I am the biggest cyber bullying on the knot. Everyone knows it. They did not want to say anything. It's good you pointed it out. Now it's out in the open.

I think they are super tacky. Don't serve alcohol at all if you can't afford it- cash bars are just...well, imho, they go in the same category as e-vites, non-rsvp'ing guests, and guests wearing white to the wedding.
I didnt say you were a "cyber bully".. I said you were bullying me! which you all are now. This isn't even about the cash bar anymore. Its about you guys bringing up stuff that has already been dropped. I just don't get why you can't leave it alone and let it go.
