Hi everyone,
My fiancée and I recently found a wedding venue that is perfect. It's a church that will allow us to use their hall for the ceremony as well as the reception hall. We aren't required to pay any fees, just a simple donation. Meaning we're essentially getting the venue for free! (don't worry, we're donating around $500)
Everything is perfect but the main hitch is that we won't be able to serve any form of alcohol. Not even a champagne toast =(
I was wondering how much of a negative impact this will have. Both of our families aren't shy, but it takes a little bit to break out of our shells. The drinks would've helped with this.
I understand and agree that the guests should be there to celebrate us getting married, and not to simply get drunk. We are using the venue regardless bc everything else is perfect. I would just like to know how to deal with the whole thing.
Should I put it on the invitations "No alcohol will be allowed."? Should I not have to say anything?
