I have only just started planning my wedding and I found some sites that I like busy, but some of them do not allow alcohol to be served. I know our friends and family, honesty, love to party and heavy drinkers, and I fear they will be disappointed with wine only, beer and champagne. How would you feel about a marriage with only the options for alcohol?
If your going to do it, do it right, party hardy, forget about the beer and wine, need some good stiff drinks.
bring my own boos. no hard liquor… o boy
Not a problem for me at all since that is what is offered mainly at all the receptions I attend! I live in a small town and at some receptions it’s strictly beer!
But….YOU know your friends and family….I don’t. If you think they will be very disappointed and you will be embarrassed by this, then you should just keep looking.
That is fine! Don’t worry about disappointing them, they can still drink with those choices. I’d be perfectly content with a beer
I’ve been to several weddings with only beer, wine, and champagne, and no one noticed or complained. We only had champagne (one bottle per table) and alcoholic cider, and everyone at our wedding was happy with that. Then again, if your family drinks heavily and prefers liquor, that might be worth considering.
How would I feel? I like champagne. I’m happy.
Fine by me as long as there’s good beer (read no Bud, Coors, Michelob, anything with the words Old, Milwaukee, Best, Natural, etc) Have a good selection of microbrews and imports and I’d be a happy camper.
It’s your wedding. Besides, somebody or “many bodies” will bring a bottle or two and spice things up anyway no matter how you try to control it. Hey, I’ve been when only champaign and wine was free and the beer wasn’t even there. Nobody objected. Everyone there is there because they are wishing you and your new husband good luck and best wishes!
When you host a party you are obligated to provide certain things–at weddings there are norms.
At weddings it is a norm to provide alcohol for their guest. Food and beverage is a ‘thank you’ to your guests for being apart of your special day.
There is no etiquette that says that you have to provide hard liquor.
I can have just as much of a great time drinking beer as drinking a rum and coke.
As long as you provide your guests with some alcohol–I don’t see a problem with it.
If its what you can afford to provide, or all that is offered at your chosen venue, then it is perfectly fine.
If someone finds it necessary to get hammered at someone’s wedding, you really don’t need those kinds of friends, do you?
I am actually allergic to beer, wine & champagne so I wouldn’t drink alcohol if I were a guest at your wedding, but thats not a big deal, 99.9% of people aren’t allergic like I am.
Sounds normal, at least where I’m at it is.
Not impressed because I don’t drink beer, wine or champagne.
Obviously the choice is up to you, but it sounds like the best choice for your situation is a venue that allows liquor.
