Open bar vs Cash Bar

View Quoted Comment

Thanks for your help, I just attended two weddings in this country and I noticed the open bar, I really wouldn't like to be impolite by doing things just because i wasn't aware on this topic.

View Quoted Comment You're right!! I'm considering just having two hours of open bar. Maybe It works, I don’t know 🤷🏽‍♀️

View Quoted Comment It is my biggest concern because I feel it does not look good, although only the wine and beer option is a bit expensive, I will try to adjust my guest list or just have a open bar for a couple of hours.

Yes I agree! it doesn't look good at all.

I would love to put a few bottles of wine on each table to save some money but my venue doesn’t allow it..

View Quoted Comment Thanks so much🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

View Quoted Comment I’m thinking 2 hours open bar and the 2 hours left just cash bar. I definitely can’t cover 4 hours and I don’t drink very much either.

I am not a big drinker but you are absolutely right with your last sentence, I will take into account.

View Quoted Comment

I will, whatever decision I make I will let them know in advance so, they can be ready.

View Quoted Comment Oh nuts! ☹️

View Quoted Comment Sounds like an excellent idea!

Open bar.

Open bar.

Open bar.

I don't drink much, and I still prefer an open bar.

Cocktail hour where guests have to pay for their drinks just seems cheap.

If you must save money, I'd recommend a limited open bar. You can either do it where it's an open bar, but only for an hour or two, then cash bar after, or have beer and wine available at no cost, but guests pay for liquor. Either is preferable to a pure cash bar, IMO.

I would recommend having beer, wine and soda and allow people to buy liquor if desired

Not knowing how many people will be attending is the hardest part of planning lol best of luck with everything!

I've only been to one open bar wedding. And the bar was so hidden, we never found it.
Cash bar with free beer is the norm in my area

View Quoted Comment Sounds like a wonderful plan

Let your budget decide. If you are still on the fence, look at your guests. For example, my extended family likes to drink A LOT. So, I'll be having an open bar. If your family/friends aren't big drinkers, maybe stick to a cash bar to save some money.
