I am so sorry for continuing to talk about this...but I am having the hardest time with this. I cannot afford a completely open bar based on the number of people I want and the location I want. Plus, we have some alcoholics in the family who may be attempting to drive afterwards and I don't want to encourage them to drink too much.

So, I thought about the Cash Bar. My Dad says that is way too tacky. I would be serving wine at dinner, champagne for toasting and unlimited punch and soft drinks...just any other alcohol (beer, liquor) would have to be paid for.

Since neither of those options seem to be working, we were considering a dry wedding. Anyone had one/been to one? Neither Scott nor I drink so it kinda makes sense...and it would save money and keep people safe. I think we would just splurge on some nice champagne for toasting, and then have a good selection of non-alcoholic drinks for people to have for free.

Seriously any advice...I don't care what side of the fence you sit on, I just really want to know what people think because I feel so lost.

Thanks,
Kelly

* Champagne is plenty, then "dry", esp with the alcoholic issue
