    Save. We are only offering beer and wine. If they want something else they can pay for it.

    He wants to have an open bar. I think that'll be too expensive. Once we actually talk to someone I have a feeling he will change his mind. We will see.

    Oooo. I like this idea. I need to tell my fiance because he wants to have a full open bar, and I think that's gonna be crazy expensive.

    Yes, it gets expensive. Because we are only offering beer and wine we were able to upgrade our meal options and still save money.

    Splurge on myself but I know people will be buying me drinks all night anyway. I just don’t want to splurge on an open bar

    Splurging! If you knew my side of the family, this would make so much sense. Haha

    Saving by not buying any. If people want to drink, they bring/buy their own alcohol. If things turn ugly, I am outta there straight away.

    Save. This is not needed for us. At all.

    You can do both. Don't make guests pay but know what your crowd drinks. If you have 0-3 wine and beer drinkers dont have only wine available. Have quality liquors but stay within your budget. A bartender worth their salt does know how to give you the best of both worlds.

    Saving. No open bar, sorry. But the guests didn't even finish all the baverages that we served...
