Bringing Photo ID to wedding?

I wouldn't put it on the invite. Maybe on the website if you are really worried about it. But I think most adults bring ID with them most places. Our bartenders will be carding as well, but I don't plan to tell guests.

I think most adults know if they're drinking they need it. I didn't have any issues. I think it's just assumed to always have your id with you.

I would really hope that any adults of drinking age know they should probably have their ID if they're going to be drinking. That being said, I was at a wedding in February where I left my ID in the hotel room (ceremony and reception were held down the hall) and had to go back to my room and get it. Had the wedding been farther than down the hall, I would have brought my ID. I was just hoping to save myself some trouble and not bring it, but knew I'd have access to it if necessary.

I think it is automatically assumed. I wouldn't mention it on the invitations, it seem too much like micromanaging.

I agree I think most adults know to bring an ID with them if they plan on drinking, I don't think you need to include it on anything.

In the back of my head I was thinking the same thing!! Confirms that I won't be putting anything on the invite. Just wanted to make sure and I never thought about it until today. Thank you ladies!!

You are very welcome @NaShara and Milton!

Our reception is adult only so this is not necessary for us.

People are adults and any adult over 21 will know they are supposed to bring their wallet with ID and to tip the bartender

You would think that adults know if there's alcohol involved that a ID is required. However, after working at Disneyland, I am shocked at the amount of adults that have told me "I don't have ID with me", all I can tell them is, sorry no wine/beer, would you like a water or soda?

thought it was commonsense, but i guess apparently its not...

This actually did come up at my reception. One of DH's cousins got carded and didn't have his ID. Other people were sneaking him drinks and (although he is 23) the DOC approached me and said they'd have to shut down the bar if he didn't stop.

However I still wouldn't put it in writing anywhere. Adults should always have their ID on them. The most I would do is word of mouth to moms/aunts etc.

Word of mouth sounds good. Worst comes to worst, if they don't have their ID, no drinks!

Any responsible adult will at least bring their wallet with them, no matter how formal the event. If they dont, and then dont get to drink because of it, that is their own fault!

Don't put it on the invite. Someone else will just have to get a drink for them if they don't have it.

I was carded at the last wedding I attended. I got a wine from them once and about an hour later I got another wine from the same girl serving the wine (who did not even look 18, btw). She carded me and said I couldn't get a drink unless I had my ID. This wedding was a no kids wedding. So I had to walk back to the other side of the hall and get my ID and come back with it. Thank goodness I brought it with me. It was obnoxious. I know I look young, but I wasn't carded the first time and I went to the same girl the next time. I was 24.

Is your venue having your provide a list of guests if they are over 21 or not? Ours does, I guess so they know if anyone is underage. Luckily everyone at ours will be over 21... but maybe an idea?

I definitely wouldn't put this on the invitation, but maybe just make sure people are aware of it? (by word of mouth? on the website? idk...). I know most people would assume that an adult would know they need to bring ID to be served alcohol, but I have actually forgotten to bring my license to a wedding on multiple occasions - when FH and I are not driving there and I switch purses for the event, I'll take a credit card and money out of my wallet and just put it in the evening bag, and sometimes my license doesn't make it in! It has never been a problem, though, since I have never been to a wedding where the bartenders card people.

View Quoted Comment I'm torn about putting it on invites not only to make sure no one forgets, better to have and not need, but also as a way of letting people know that underage drinking will Not be allowed... I actually had a teenager ask if the bartender would be serving them as well. Smh, sad but true...
