Hey Ladies. So FH and I found the perfect venue, but the only hiccup is that we can't bring our own liquor in. We already purchased a beverage package for $1595 and that's just for regular drinks for 200 guests. Regular drinks include: water, soda, juice and the chamoagne for the toast. Beer, wine,...

Hey Ladies. So FH and I found the perfect venue, but the only hiccup is that we can't bring our own liquor in. We already purchased a beverage package for $1595 and that's just for regular drinks for 200 guests. Regular drinks include: water, soda, juice and the chamoagne for the toast. Beer, wine, and liquor are $5. To add liquor for 200 people would be an additional $5000. Smiley surprise FH has done so much to make our wedding day amazing. There is no way I would ask him to pay 5K more on top of the 8K he has already paid for the venue and then some. So I need help on how to word on the invitations that the liquor drinks will be $5 per drink.

Also I had an idea of all of my BM's first round of drinks would be on me.

What are your thoughts?

    I like that. I need to think of some signage for the bar as well.

    I have been to many weddings over the years.

    Never was I 'warned' in any way that a wedding was open or cash bar.

    I showed up and if it was open bar cool, if it was cash bar that's cool too.

    And honestly $5 for a drink is cheap in most places.

    I am happy for you to find your perfect venue

    Thank you Catherine. You're absolutely right, $5 is a great price for a drink. I have decided not to stress about it. And yes, the venue is amazing. ❤🤗

    I would def figure out a way to let people know ahead of time. I like the idea of putting it on your website instead on the invitations.

    Thank you. I've been told not to say anything but if it were me, I'd definitely want to know.
