Cash bar on invitations?

I was thinking that too. Maybe just putting it on the wedding website (that I have yet to anywhere near complete lol) I just really doubtful for some reason that anybody is really going to check the website out.

Spread it either by word of mouth, have it on your website or include it on an insert card that's included with yor invitations.

I would suggest that you include this info on your website and spread by word of mouth but not on your invitations. Invitations seem like a weird place for that.

I agree with Jess. Don't put it on the invite, put it on your website and have people spread the word.

Is it possible to spread this via word of mouth, or on your wedding website? I personally wouldn't put it on the invitations, but I think it's nice to let people know!

And of I put if with the invitations it will be on the info card that talks about pre-ceremony refreshments and the doors are closing AT 7, parking and voucher info, accommodations, and no kids.

I agree with above if this your options then I would put it on the website.

Are you having a reception card included with your invitations? I wouldn't put it directly on the invitations, but would maybe consider including it on the reception card. You could put something like

"Hosted cocktail hour begins promptly at 7 o'clock in the evening,

dinner reception to follow."

And then put the directions underneath of that.

If there's an ATM, I wouldn't think twice about it. It's tacky to put stuff like this on your invitations (sort of like including where you are registered). If you really are worried about people knowing, include in your wedding website and spread the word. Most places will take credit cards too, and guests rarely come without at least a credit card... It's only an hour anyways for cash bar? Yeah, don't worry!

There's an ATM and they "have" a credit card machine but I guess it's down more often then not. Well technically it's two hours but one of those hours is dinner and wine will be served with dinner. I really need to get my website together.

Hm...I really think you should put notice of a cash bar somewhere with your invitation whether directly on there or on an info card. The reasoning is this: some people don't bother reading the wedding website and not everyone is going to hear it word of mouth (unless you are secretly keeping track). People will most likely read the invitation stuff, best out of the three options.

By giving people a proper heads up: 1) they can have the cash ready (some people don't like to use ATM due to transaction fees), 2) some might even try to sneak in a secret booze bottle, 3) they can get all or most the complaining out of their system by your wedding date.

I'm going to a wedding next weekend and they put cash bar on the invitation. Worked for me - I might not have gone on their website to get the info.

We phrased it on our invite " Reception and toonie bar to follow" Half of my family dont know how to use a computer so we arent doing a wedding website. It was the easiest way to make sure everyone knew.

Care bear - I'm not worried about anybody complaining. Those aren't my kind of guest and the "circle" I'm in would be appreciative of an hour of cocktails and an hour of wine.

Sasha - I have no idea what a toonie bar is.

I forget most ladies on here don't know what it is! A toonie is a Two Dollar Canadian coin. So every drink that someone orders is only $2. Therefore its called a toonie bar

Its another way of doing a cash bar. but none the less i found it important to make sure all our guests knew so they could come prepared.
