Is a cash bar okay for wedding?

Flagged for name calling

Nice post and ghost though

I could name a dozen brides on here who have the same budget Neuco but are properly hosting their guests...

Try again.

Privileged Jerks? Did you even read Spazzys post? All of us saved for our wedding, how ever much we could and then planned our wedding based on our budget.

You have some nerve. You sound like you are very miserable. Maybe you should look into some extra shifts so you can properly host your guests. Not everyone gets a fancy wedding, you sound extremely entitled. To call us brats. lol. joke.

Another one?

A cash bar is never ok. Never

You have time to budget for hosting properly. Most of us are paying for our weddings btw

Oy

Neuco, no one was getting bullied. You clearly don't know the meaning of the word and it's demeaning to anyone on here who has experienced real bullying. Put on your big girl panties and quit whining and giving poor advice.

@Neuco so we are prissy little brats for wanting to properly host our guests? Hmm ironic isn't it? No one said anything about anyone being poor. Pay for the wedding you can afford, but you still need to provide food and drink to your guests. That is just proper hosting. I don't care if you have your wedding in a parking lot with folding chairs wearing ripped overalls, but you still need to properly host your guests.

I love when people come on these threads and call us rude, then go on to be the super rude ones. Hypocrisy is my fave.

@Neuco - The only privileged person is the person making egregious assumptions about another's income level.

If you live in the land of the overtaxed where 20% of your income is taken at source, then welcome to my world. On top of that, everything else is taxed on a regular basis at 13%. I also have to pay for supplementary health care for my FH, son and I, because although doctor's visits are covered by our province, Dental, Prescriptions, eye glasses, and other things aren't. So, tell me again I have no idea what it's like to juggle wedding money with other bills on a single income.

I'm hosting a small wedding I can afford, and spending my time to save when I can.

Here we go! I suggest checking through old posts before asking this question. I've been in your shoes. People are just trying to help.

And to add onto what OGK said, there are users here who are working 60+ hour weeks between second/third jobs and overtime to be able to afford their weddings and properly host their guests. But everyone here is prissy and bratty? Oh ok.

Pretty sure I'm not rich, considering we have to donate plasma just to pay our bills this month.

We did my entire wedding for under $5000...and I STILL provided beer and wine to my guests without them having to open their wallets.

You have the wedding you can afford.

Period. If you have a small budget, you can still have a really lovely PROPERLY HOSTED wedding, it just might be a little bit smaller.

Melissa posted this just to start shit lmao.

AlmostMrsE I'm giving Melissa the benefit of the doubt, many new users don't know etiquette or hot issues on here... but Neuco was the one (acting like a) jerk, and fueling the fire.

@Neuco probably has a Honeyfund registry too.

No mna our guest list is 100

@neuco I don't appreciate you calling people "prissy little brats" and "privileged jerks" that is rude and unnecessary. The reason I'm paying off my own wedding is because my single mother of five (because my dad died when I was only 8) can't afford to give me a dime, and I'm fine with that. I have worked extremely hard for everything I have. I will have student loan payments until I'm 90! We have decided to have a longer engagement so we can properly hosts our guests.

We're paying for our own wedding because a) if we want to get married, it should be our responsibility anyway and b) we didn't want to have to listen to anyone else tell us how to plan our wedding. You know what we prissy privileged jerks did? We had a long engagement to save up the money we needed so we could have the wedding we wanted. What a novel concept.

Searched this whole thread for OP's response...

@holly true but she posted and ghosted
