    Ours is just an open bar it's literally like 2.00 per person so it's less then one drink and we don't have to worry about it the night of

    Seriously? only $2 PP? *jealous*

    ETA: what are you hosting? beer, wine, champagne, liquor? pop/soda, water, juice, etc?

    Haha ya total depending in the guest amount we are paying 17.50-19.95 per person for food (2 entrees 3 sides plus salad and bread) and open bar. Liquor beer non alcoholic champagne for toasts. and coffees juice. It's not top shelf but it works great around here!!! Our reception is in a ballroom I talked them from the original price of 37 pp since we are getting married on a Wednesday.

    that is so cheap. I am jealous! It doesn't have to be top shelf, as long as it is not a cash bar it is all good.

    Haha ya! And can you believe we are still struggling to come up with $ for 100 people I keep telling fi we have it luckyyyyy living in Missouri!

    We are having open bar for at least cocktail hour.  After that we are just doing wine with dinner and a half champagne pour toast.  I may leave the bar open for just the bridal party and parents though.  I haven't decided yet.
    wait, so... you would allow the WP to have say, liquor/beer, but not the rest of your guests?? I'd say go all or nothing.

    haha! Granted.... the shower did start at like, 4pm and lasted until like.... 11. People just wouldn't leave, which was fine by us. We had 40 lbs of bbq'd tri-tip and about 10 lbs of bbq'd pork. It was more like roasted, though. Not your "normal" bbq. And beans (!) and chips and veggie platters and what not. And s'mores! It was a very good party.
    ...yes, but did you serve bean dip?  It's not a party without bean dip!

    We're doing hosted beer (two kinds) and wine (three kinds) from cocktail hour until a half-hour before the reception officially ends (venue's rules). We're having the reception at a country club, so there will be a full bar and we can't stop people from buying mixed drinks if they prefer it.

    OMG!  @alisonmarie658 what a neat idea for engagement photos.  I kind of wish I could talk him into those.  Actually...bet I could. 

    That said, holy SCHNIKES!  $100k for a wedding?!  Head.Blown.  Horseback riding OR wine tasting? 

    I tend to do a lower class version of that; beer drinking on horseback.  Nothing but the best for me!  LOL!!

    I would have felt super awkward not knowing how dressy to be for some of those events too.  But, sounds like you still had fun....I hope.  :)
