ALCOHOL at wedding?!

Since having an open bar is so expensive,especially if you are having 100+guests,I was thinking of having a limited bar.I just wish they didnt charge so much for alcohol! I have not really been to many weddings myself,so what exactly is usually served at a limted bar? I know wine,beer,and pop is what is probably served,but I wonder if they would let you serve only one kind of hard liquor also? I probably will ask if we can have the bar open only at certain times and maybe then we can have a little hard liquor still served to even it out. Anyone have suggestions?! Its at the Lancaster Elks Lodge so I have to ask if we can bring ANY of our own liquor (even jello shots). Have you ever been to a wedding with a limited bar,what did you think? It just seems like everyone makes such a big deal about having alcohol at a wedding...it shouldnt even be about that.I myself really do not drink much at all dont like the taste of beer,wines,or most alcohol,but I sort of like for example cherry vodka with sprite,but having an open bar is very expensive. WHEN I TOLD SOME OLDER FAMILY MEMBERS THEY WERE LIKE THATS EXPENSIVE...THE THING IS WHEN THEY GOT MARRIED,THINGS COST LESS,AND I THINK THEY HAD IT AT A LOCATION WHERE THEY COULD BRIING THEIR OWN ALCOHOL...UNFORTUNATELY THOSE PLACES ARE FOR IMMEDIATE FAMILY ONLY NOW. SORRY SO LONG ANY INPUT THANKS?!

It is perfectly fine if you want to limit the bar and types of alcohol, or even cap it off after a certain amount is served. You could make it a cash bar thereafter. My idea of a limited bar is a couple types of beer, couple types of wine and one brand of a few popular liquors (vodka, rum) with some mixers. But really it could consist of whatever you want. You could have a red wine, a white wine, beer and a signature cocktail (maybe something that tastes like the cherry vodka and sprite). The majority of people can find something they like out of those choices.

We are only having wine and beer at our wedding. It's your day, so you should do it how you want to do it.

It's sad that people go to weddings expecting alcohol but that is the reality of the situation. It it was up to me I wouldn't serve it because I think the food, music, and ambiance are more important.

I had a very limited bar for my first wedding: beer, wine, and wine spritzers as well as pop. This time around my fiance is giving the bar a tab and after that's gone then guests will have to pay for their own drinks.

Rowdy drinkers should respect the fact that families will be there as well as children and not spoil the occasion by getting drunk. My 2 year old and 7 year old have never seen a drunk person and I am afraid the hijinks might scare them.

Good luck to you in whatever you decide.
