Is a cash bar okay for wedding?

"but don't tell them it's non-alcoholic you and your groom might have a good laugh"

Oh good. I got snacks just in time.

Nope. Proper grammar should still be included in rants.

Oh, Ashley...

@Lakesha, grammar and punctuation are your friends. Because that makes noooo sense.

"Its ur wedding your getting not your family..."

Lorith, I'm so glad to see you :-)

Dear lord Ashley (another Ashley name) - all your comments in that run-on sentence could be answered:

- your guests should not drive home drunk, you can't stop them but they are adults and should behave

- if your guests will make you go broke drinking or ruin your wedding day, you are inviting the wrong people, the ones who love you will also respect their behaviour and drinking to ensure your wedding day will be wonderful

- no one knows who can afford what, that is why you have the wedding you can afford, you make your choices on what you want to do and how you want to get there when it comes to paying for the wedding but proper hosting is a minimum

- just because the couple doesn't drink does not mean you don't serve alcohol, I assume if you are not vegetarian you are not providing a vegetarian option? or can your vegetarian friends eat veggie sticks, dip and rice/potatos all nice?

What's with all the double ring, poor etiquette and rude Ashley's?

Woooooow.

No.

Just no.

Repeat after me: Just because people drink does NOT mean they will get drunk.

Just because people get drunk does NOT mean they will be unruly/destructive/awful.

Just because you don't serve alcohol doesn't mean people won't bring flasks and drink anyway.

CUT IT OUT AND HOST YOUR GUESTS PROPERLY!

Thanks Sass. I had a nice time away. Though brief.

OH my here we go....might as well not serve them any food either...or provide any chairs for that matter.

What did I just read? Don't tell them? You and your groom might have a good laugh? Pretty sure your sparkling cider isn't going to fool anyone. And there will be laughter. But you won't hear it.

.

Pretty sure your guests can tell whether a drink has alcohol in it...

OP- thanks for coming back and for taking the advice. Beer and wine is fine and your guests will really appreciate it! (Now, if you are considering self catering, PLEASE search the forums for that before posting. hint- it is also a huge NO.)

"Here's your gift, congratulations you two."

"Thank you! Here, enjoy this glass of sparkling wine."

"This is not wine."

"PSYCH!"

@Ashley-

One thing I've learned is NEVER EVER ask about a cash bar on here..

I can't. Ashley. No. When will people learn, don't lie to your guests! Pretending that there is alcohol when there isn't sounds really juvenile.

@FiddlinBritt I've even heard on here of people sneaking in flasks or bottles in their car! That proves far more dangerous because they're drinking quicker in "secret"...which no adult should have to do at a party.
