What’s worse: Dry wedding or cash bar?

Hi Morgan! We're doing a cash bar only because both me and FH aren't big drinkers. However the champagne toast for all guests over the age of 21 is on us. After that we'll have plenty of entertainment, but it'll be up to our guests to determine if they want to drink or not. Our venue does have the option of doing a consumption bar, for us to pay for only what the guest use, but I'm not comfortable with winging it, not knowing what my final bar bill would be until after the event is over and the alcohol has already been consumed. I hope this helps

It really depends on the wedding crowd most. I personally don't mind either, but I'd prefer the cash bar over the dry bar reception.

I enjoy having a drink or two at a wedding and wouldn't mind paying for them although I am not a huge drinker and can enjoy myself without alcohol. If I knew the couple had religious reasons for not wanting to host alcohol at their wedding that's totally fine, but if the crowd would be expecting alcohol, let them know in advance. At a dry wedding it would be nice to provide some unique non-alcoholic drinks if possible!

I don't mind cash bars at all but I'm also one of those people that understands that alcohol is not free and if I want to drink, I should be paying for it myself if the couple doesn't want/can't afford to host it. If it's for financial reasons, I could see a cash bar being completely acceptable, it would just help if drinkers knew in advance to bring some money along.

I think dry weddings are way worse. I'd rather have the option to buy it than not have it at all.

I think cash bars are way more tacky than a dry wedding. At least a dry wedding isn't asking me to pay for their party.

Right?! Beer & wine are fine.

We are providing kegs with beer and if you want something else then you can buy it at the bar. I don't think it is tacky at all. I would never expect a couple to pay for my drinks.
