No hard liquor at wedding reception.

I think beer and wine is fine. Won't kill the mood at all. And hell, if anything, you can get your wedding party's flasks and fill them with hard liquor

No hard liquor will not kill the party at all. We are only having beer and wine also. No hard liquor will lessen the chances of people being out-of-control drunk at your wedding. Not that people can't or won't get drunk from beer and wine but fewer people will because no shots.

I think beer and wine are fine. You don't need alcohol to have a party

We're not having alcohol at all due to some problems in both our families with alcoholism. We drink, but we don't want to cause problems with people who are trying to stop or who have problems with too much.

So no hard liquor certainly won't hurt the reception... like FMrs.C said, you don't need alcohol to party!!

Beer and wine is perfectly fine. Most people drink one or the other.

Beer and wine is great and a money saver too

Alcohol is not a no-all-end-all for a reception. If someone is coming to your wedding just because they think there will be free booze to get wasted on, then they are there for the wrong reasons and shouldn't even be there. Beer and wine is totally acceptable and beyond gracious. OTW has a point with the flasks, too.

Beer and wine is perfect! Spend the extra money for food or catering! Great job locating a space.

I will have a beer and wine bar ONLY at my reception. Having No liquor wont hurt, you dont want everyone sloppy drunk at your wedding and if there are drinkers in you guys family, a couple beers will get them feeling good. : )

I've been to weddings with just beer and wine and had a fabulous time!

We are only having beer and wine because I didn't want people getting super drunk which is a ton easier when hard liquor is being served.

This should at least slow down the drunkenness, lol.

I was originally planning before we were even engaged that there wouldn't be any alcohol just because of my dad but since he passed last year I don't want to be a buzz kill for my fiance and anyone else who wants to drink and have a good time. Thanks everyone!

I don't think most people come to weddings hoping to get wasted, but I do think that most people associate parties with some type of alcoholic beverage. A few glasses of wine are a nice way to unwind and have a great time. I think wine and beer is great.

@Amy A. - you give me ONE every week! I can always count on you to make my dayum stomach hurt....your sarcasm is priceless!

But seriously, to Jennifer - beer and wine are just fine. We are having wine, a signature margarita and champagne...if the guests want anything else - the liquor store is down the street!

Wine and beer is totally fine; add a sangria or a wine punch of some sort and you're good to go. So many of my couples go this route, whether they have the option to do more or not.

I think beer and wine is great! If you have a bartender, it would be great to create some signature cocktails involving wine like a sangria, mimosa, bellini, etc. Then people will feel like they're getting mixed drinks but you're abiding by just beer and wine!

People can get drunk on beer & wine because they do contain alcohol.

But, I think you're fine to limit alcoholic beverages to beer & wine.

I think that's fine. neither of us drink at all, so we are having a dry wedding. so i'm pretty sure your guests won't have a problem with it. i've only ever been to one wedding that even had alcohol, so i think it's perfectly alright.

You can always supply the beer/wine and have cash liquor if you think it will be a problem. Just let people know so they can bring money if they want

ETA: Der.... just re-read your post. You don't need liquor

Weʻre doing beer, champagne, and wine for alcohol
