My husband wants open bar for our vow renewal, but I'm perfectly content serving bottled water, lemonade, flavored and sweet iced teas, and punch, maybe adding a champagne toast, maybe giving into serving only beer and wine. What is a happy medium? I'm afraid if we do an open bar our tab will be more than we can afford, but I'm also going to suggest we have an after party if we have it early enough in the day at a bar and have those who want to join us at the after party pay for their own drinks and munchies (instead of having a cash bar which I didn't care for offered at a wedding). Please help. I want to make my hubby happy with the decision, but also given Louisiana is a state where you can drink and drive I don't want our guests overconsuming. Please help.
