I can try and spread the word, though--that's a good idea.<BR/><BR/>We're in the middle of a city, though, so people aren't going to be trapped without access to booze (or they can always drink pop for free *g*).Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18443270064274408723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680285551567691530.post-17783580342337653392007-05-20T21:46:00.000-05:002007-05-20T21:46:00.000-05:00Just please be sure to mention 'cash bar available...Just please be sure to mention 'cash bar available' somewhere on the reception invitations? <BR/><BR/>My cousin(!!) did not mention this on the invitations to her "cocktail reception" (!!), and as a result, all the guests arrived at the very remote country venue expecting cocktails and having no cash. She paid a lot for a DJ who basically didn't have anything to do after 9:30 pm.canadian sadiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18445661464880955455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680285551567691530.post-7771233430972257562007-04-25T16:00:00.000-05:002007-04-25T16:00:00.000-05:00I'm with you there, don't charge your guests for a...I'm with you there, don't charge your guests for anything. Thats tacky. <BR/><BR/>Why not just get some super cheap alcohol from wal-mart or costco or something and the have the venue charge you a serving fee, thats much cheeper than buying their alcohol,<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/><BR/>Jamesjames1844https://www.blogger.com/profile/04631643239092609732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680285551567691530.post-60944196132223839452007-04-04T22:51:00.000-05:002007-04-04T22:51:00.000-05:00That sounds like a pretty good idea.

We're definitely doing free pop and nonalcoholic things, and Fiance floated the idea of having a couple of 'drink tokens' by people's plates, so their first two drinks were free. <BR/><BR/>It's all about compromises, isn't it?

At my wedding, we were able to do an open bar for just beer, wine and soda for 2 hours. Any mixed drinks were cash, and anything after the intial 2 hours were cash.<BR/><BR/>That was a good compromise for us.Jenn @ Frugal Upstatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11737088723989230434noreply@blogger.com
