I know alcohol at a wedding reception is a highly debated topic on here..but a venue I'm looking at offers a Farewell Brunch that I'm considering regardless of the venue because 1. I love brunch 2. I have a lot of OOT guests ... but the venue lets me add in an open or cash bar. So what is the...

So what is the etiquette for a brunch the morning after the wedding .. Open bar? Cash bar? No bar? Just wondering!

I would not be able to drink in the morning after drinking at the reception lol. I feel like an open bar option would go to waste! I've been to several next-day brunches and none had alcohol

Some wonderful points by everyone.

The venue has a separate room where it holds the brunch so there is a specific menu it has in regards to food. Unfortunately the alcohol is either open bar or cash (I would never do cash - don't worry) but it does not have the option to just serve mimosas or to serve alcohol by consumption. Personally I'd love for it to be per consumption for brunch because then at least I pay for people's drinks but I'm not opening the bar for only 3 people to order - I would not only be paying $8/person for drinks but also the $100 bar service fee.

I wanted to get some ideas from all of you, and it seems that brunch alcohol is more up in the air so I will definitely ask my parents/bridesmaids what they feel my family/friends would prefer but I might just skip it. Thank you!
