(cross post) Don't take my drink coasters.

Has anybody thought about using these? or Has anybody actually used them
at their wedding or seen someone use them, if so how did end up working
out?

My fiance and I thought about buying them and setting them
out at each place setting and also showing/telling our wedding
consultant that we have with our venue about them and also to give the
servers a heads up about them as well because when we went to our venues
food tasting they also had a wine tasting during the same time, we
walked away to get food several times and the servers took our full/half
full glasses of wine several time. A glass of wine at our venue is 5-9
dollars depending on the brand maybe more. I want to minimize the amount
of servers picking up half full glasses that are still being finished
by people going to the bathroom, or through the line for more food or
dancing etc or because the drinks are too strong and they are letting
them get a little watered down.

    What kind of venue is this? If you're paying per Glass obviously that's how they make their money. Maybe promising a minimum payment will stop them from trying to pad the bill by taking drinks.

    @mseminerio84 The venues catering is ran by a restaurant company that also has 2 wedding event locations. Our venue has 2 different ways their bar works either hosted bar or cash bar. If its a hosted bar, you pay x amount of money a few days before your wedding and then during your wedding, your bridal consultant with the venue and the bartenders work hand in hand and will report back to the bride and groom and periodically will say x amount of x dollars of your bar fund has been spent, if you are getting close to the dollar amount that you set aside for the bar you can 1) keep the bar open as a hosted bar 2) turn it into a cash bar or 3) close the bar all together. The next day the venue will tally up the total amount of the bar and will either charge you more for your bar in addition to what you already paid, or they will refund the couple if they are under their bar estimate. 

    So needless to say, my fiancé and I will already be putting $2,000 towards our bill prior to our wedding, and that doesn't include if we go over and are charged more, we get refunded if we are under the $2,000.
