I plan on having a cash bar for our reception....I read in an article that was rude....should I just pay for the bar....I don't really want to because it's not in my budget

    Beau; lot of my ceremonies include wine sharings, sake sharings, tequila sharings...and for one memorable couple last year, a Fireball toast to the guests.

    I love the idea of a mimosa sharing! One of you gets the OJ, the other Champagne....hmmmmm....now I might have to write one!

    Oh thank God. We hadn't talked to our officiant about it yet. Just want we are planning. I saw that comment earlier and got scared that maybe it isn't legal or something. But I guess Catholics drink at weddings, so that would have been silly. It just scared me is all. Thanks for clarifying.

    ETA: Hmmm...Fireball shots, huh? I love Fireball.

    You mean like before you exchange vows you drink something? HOT DAMN!

    Me to FH tonight, "honey brace yourself. We're toasting to HENNY AT THE ALTAR!!!"

    I'm totally kidding.

    Yeah. Our theme/title is the Ultimate Mimosa Monday. So instead of pouring sand, we were gonna pour mimosas. It started out as a joke, then we were like, "wait...". Actually pretty much every idea we have about this wedding started out/is an inside joke that we are actually doing now. Haha. We a mess.

    I think the turn of this post has been hilarious. It went from cash bars to dry bars to incorporating alcohol into the ceremony.

    Y'all are so funny!

    Are we going for a record of how many comments can be on a cash bar thread?

    I'll tell you, I thought about doing this for maybe a minute, but then I realized that the majority of my guests are coming from out of town so I should pay for them to have a glass of wine or a beer!

    If you truly cannot afford alcohol, have a dry wedding.

    @Swin. Haha. That's hilarious! I hadn't thought of it that way, but yep.

    @BoozyBaker---so many. We crack ourselves up at them sometimes.

    Dry vs Cash. I honestly don't know. They both hurt my soul. But I guess, in the end, if I had to choose...wait, I almost don't even want to say. I don't want to give any bride who is on the fence the notion that it's acceptable if you absolutely have to. Cause it's not. Cut your list. Or save a little more. Or cut elsewhere or push back your wedding until you can afford it.
