Hey everyone!!!

So I have quite a dilemma as far as serving alcohol at the reception goes. Half of my guests are older Christians who do not partake in drinking. The other half of my guests and the majority of our bridal party are drinkers. My hubby and I do not drink. So we are torn of whether or not we should just make it a dry wedding. We want everyone to enjoy themselves but we also don't want to step on anyone's toes. My wedding coordinator brought up a point that because we are young leaders in the church (Deacon and Deaconess in training) we shouldn't have any because it might make us look bad. I don't want our wedding to be a buzz kill but I also don't want to offend anyone or make my FH and myself look bad. So at this point, I am torn on what to do and could use a little advice.

SIDE NOTE:

Probably important to note that our wedding is on a Thursday evening if that makes a difference.

    If you have a dry wedding, you have to prepare yourself for people to try to sneak it in, or people even going to the parking lot to drink alcohol (I have been to several dry weddings where this has actually happened, people have no boundaries sometimes.).

    I would do a beer and wine (or just wine) bar, so the people who do not drink don't have to, but those who do want to partake can. If your friends know you well enough to know how important the church is to you both, they won't get rowdy!
