Stock the bar party question

Rebeccakay33, on April 22, 2013 at 12:17 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 7

Hey ladies I need some help...My fiance and I are getting married September 28th!!!! Our familys alonge with our wedding party want to help us out with the wedding $$$ wise...we love our family and friends but hate the idea of them giving us money for the wedding, plus my parents are paying for most and my fiance and I are coving some cost, and I won the wedding venue, two tuxedo rentals, and a wedding planner. Anyway my Maid of Honor had the idea of soing a stock the bar party???? I have never been to one but they are pretty bing in texas...instead of a traditional shower you do a couples shower where the guest bring bottles of liqour to hlep stock the wedding bar. The guest are moslty going to be family and close friends...do you think this is a good way for them to help without giving us money?? I am just on the fence about the idea

    Wouldnt work for me since we cant have alchol, but if your venue allows it, i say go for it. Not to mention Id rather have kitchen stuff.

    I have never heard of a stock the 'Wedding' Bar. We had a stock the bar Engagement Party that our friends threw for us. It wasn't a shower, so their were couples there and it was just a way of saying Congratulations on your Engagement. Everyone brought a bottle of something for us to stock our OWN bar not for the wedding specifically.

    I only know of 1 person that did this. ( We are in Texas also) it worked out well for them. They were able to get what they needed for the wedding thru the party, Before her having it, I had never heard of it before. I personally would not do it, just because we are paying for everything ourselves and would rather stock it with what we want rather than random different things ( our venue will only allow 5 different types of alcohol to be brought in other than beer and wine).

    I live in Texas too! I've actually done this for a birthday party. It worked out pretty well. Hadn't thought about it for the wedding but I think its a great idea!

    Thanks ladies I think what we are going to do is US but the beer and wine and we are going to make Lavendar Lemonade (with vodka) as a signature drink, and then let them throw a stock the bar party that way our family will feel like they are helping out to, and we can by all the mixes cups and stuff like that Smiley smile

    I've heard of Stock the Bar parties, but for your home, not the wedding...
