Would you take a flask to a dry wedding?

Lol, this thread is too funny. I wouldn't bring a flask but I definitely would not stay long. I may only attend the ceremony and decline the reception. I don't drink much but I do enjoy a drink or two when I am out partying.

I was one of those crazies pondering the dry wedding but then I remembered that the reception is supposed to be about your guests, not the Bride--right?

I also worried about the riot that might ensue when my Crazy German family met FH crazy Irish family and there was NO BOOZE!!!

FH Dad and My Dad agreed that they would split the beer and soda bill and if guests want something more, there is a very nice cash bar in the corner!

I would bring a flask, but I would definitely keep it on the down low. I want to have a good time, but I don't want to get the bride/groom into trouble with their venue. I would be the weirdo sneaking my coke into the bathroom stall

Maybe FH and I are crazy alcoholics because we are having alcohol at our reception and we are giving our bridal party flasks full of their favorite alcohol!

Hell ya.. I would bring two...

Haha i thought about telling the heavy drinkers on our list that they may want to do that.lol we decided our budget won't allow a lot of alcohol, so we're going with beer, wine and maybe a signature. if they want hard stuff, they may want to bring your own fav, but in a tactful/discreet way . but i don't think they would. but they'd certainly follow us to the afterparty fun downtown

I wouldn't. But then again, I think I had a total of one drink (in the course of two receptions) at my own wedding.

Dare I ask why is it si horrible to have/be at a dry wedding?.... mine will be

Yes indeed ! I went to a dry wedding this year and everyone starting going outside after dinner. Me being nosy went to see what was going on. One of the GM popped his trunk and had liquor for days. The reception ended up outside in the parking lot.

I wouldn't bring a flask, I would bring the whole damn bottle and leave it in the car! I went to a dry wedding in September (didnt know it was going to be completely dry) and honestly couldn't wait to get out of there. There was a champagne toast and I actually flirted with the waiter so he could bring me and fh another bottle! As soon as we were through we left (along with everyone else).

I would bring a flask. I've done it before and would do it again. Not being raised in this country I find we tend to have conversative views on drinking/alcohol compared to other places. No celebration is complete without at least some wine.

I'm having a dry wedding but it's not because alcohol is expensive, or that I am against people drinking (I don't drink). It's for my guests safety. To get to our wedding guests will have to drive through a canyon that is dangerous enough on a regular day and I would feel horrible if someone left buzzed or drunk and got in a wreck because of it. If someone were to bring a flask it would bother me only because I'd worry about them getting home safely.

Im druuuunk right now

I really don't see why people HAVE to have alcohol at a wedding, attending a wedding isn't about getting drunk at the bar, it's about spending time with the Bride and Groom, I wouldn't take a flask to a dry wedding because I find it to be rude and in total disregard of the Bride and Grooms wishes. I plan on having a dry wedding because you seriously don't need alcohol to have fun.

I am not having a dry wedding but Snow A makes a good point that the success of a dry wedding hinges on the couple and their attitudes. As for me, I wouldn't bring a flask. I'd respect their wishes bur still manage to have a good time (cause I'm that kinda girl!)

I've actually never heard of a 'dry wedding' before ww haha. that being said, we will have alcohol at our wedding :]. although i've never been to a wedding without alcohol, i doubt i'd bring my own. i'd probably leave fairly early though too haha.

oh & for the record, my family & friends don't 'need' alcohol to have a good time. we're a great crowd, let me tell you. but it's nice to have a drink on your night out when you're all dressed up with the company of those you enjoy [or don't enjoy in some cases haha].

I dont understand how drinking makes it less boring?

Drinking is a social lubricant. For people like myself who are shy and not overly social it's hard to talk to people you don't know (and lets face facts most people at weddings are strangers). Also, I don't like to dance so without a drink or two I will not be partaking on the dance floor, instead I'll be sitting back at my table, probably bored out of my mind and watching the clock waiting until it's socially polite to leave.

I have never been a dry wedding. I heard about them be boring and people leaving early. I wouldn't bring a flask.

A typical wedding guest socializes with the bride and groom for about 5 minutes. So it's not just about how much they love you. It's also about how much they know other people and how much they want to hang around with them. If people are drinking they are more friendly and it is more fun. It's not about whether or not you CAN have fun without alcohol it's about whether or not you WANT TO.

There is a reason weddings (dry or not) are a trigger for alcoholics. It's because when most people gather socially they WANT to have a drink. Having a dry wedding will not stop your alcoholic Uncle Bob from drinking at your wedding. At least with a bar you have the ability to tell the bartender to water down Bob's drinks.

Idk if i would. i know id probably end up leaving early. i know my sisters was a dry wedding (though I was too young to drink then) but i recall the big stink my family made over my uncle going to the package store to buy beer cause he refused to stay after he found out it was dry.
