Drink tickets?

Jennifer, on June 19, 2017 at 5:29 PM

Posted in Etiquette and Advice 191

I went to a wedding not long ago where each guest was given two tickets to redeem for 2 drink max (beer and wine). This was due to budget constraints. I thought it was a good idea. Any opinions/feedback?

    I say do it. We live in a more rural area and it's common practice to have the bride and groom buy the first drink and then have a cash bar the rest of the night.

    Responses: No, that's rude/tacky, etc.

    Poster: That's how we do it here. You don't know me. You are all bitches.

    @Nonna I surely hope you aren't referring to me. I never called anyone "bitches", in fact I agreed with most pp's if you refer to previous comments.

    No it's not Cassidy, stop spreading lies. And reviving dead threads while you're at it.

    I'm just wondering... people who say they would take cash out of the card at a cash bar wedding, do you hold onto your card until the wedding is almost over and then surrender it? That seems really odd to me. The first thing I do at a wedding reception is put my gift on the gift table. I'm honestly just curious.

    This reminds me of a work event not a wedding. Please don't do this.

    It's not a 'rural area' thing, (I checked with several of my rural colleauges) and it's not a "your special day' thing.

    It's a 'we're too cheap to properly host" thing.

    There is no crowd that would think this is okay.

    Please don't do it! I am just imagining people trying to barter to get more tickets.

    I was at wedding a few weeks ago with similarity. I HATE it! Although this wedding was more alcohol- I think it could have been handed better! Totally tacky on my opinion.

    Shannon, with so many guests at a wedding, I would imagine that cash is the only option. Wallets open for everyone!

    ETA: you cant use credit cards

    Oh, wow...another reason that I believe Keisha is amazing. Do all of you "cash bar/drink tickets" brides intend to hold to that standard when it comes to your bachelorette parties? LOL, Keisha. Epic. Give the bachelorette two drink tickets....hahahahahaha!

    Doncha just love it when people who give terrible advice beat on long time members who unfailngly give great advice?

    And Love, I believe it's a sash, kinda like Mike's Clergy sash. More readable and easier for everyday wear.

    If you want to host a carnival, tickets are fine. If you're hosting a wedding, forget that idea entirely. Beer and wine open bar will suffice if you don't have the means for a true open bar.
