Wedding
Receptions: Cash Bar Or Open Bar at my wedding reception
Q.
Cash or open
bar? which one is better? what does etiquette say?
A.
In years
past it was considered inappropriate to expect your guests to pay
for any part of your wedding festivities. However, today, cash bars
are common at receptions. Most couples are concerned about the
liability associated with an open bar, not to mention the cost.
When guests purchase their own alcohol, they usually drink less and
they stop sooner. They also incur the liability for their actions,
not you. Liability issues are not limited to automobile accidents.
If one of your guests drinks too much and gets into a fight with
another guest, you can be liable if you furnished the alcohol.
If you decide to have an open bar, you can limit the time that
alcohol is available (such as for two hours only) and you can limit
it to beer and wine. You and your fianc้ should decide together how
much you want to spend on the bar, if anything
