When I go to a wedding it is to help the new couple celebrate their union. Not to drink till I'm drunk, or take advantage of free booze. We just go with the flow, and if no alchohol is served, we drink punch or whatever is served. And are happy to be there.
I have seen so many people get loud and unruly, causing hurt feelings and family arguments that could last for years. It is just not worth it to me.
Just think of it this way, the less you spend on alcohol today, the more money you will have for your honeymoon tomorrow. After the wedding is over, everything is about your and your husband, and everyone else has gone home.
Its a win win situation. Have a toast at dinner, and then be done with it. People also forget how many guests have a traveling bar in thier vehicles, they just go out and fill up a glass or cup and come back in. That is rampant, and never thought of as a big deal by the person who is drinking. Because if they want to drink, they are going to drink. Just stick to your budget right now, because as the wedding nears, unexpected expenses will arise and you are going to need funds to take care of those little things that add up.
just my opinion, the big decisions are being made right now, you are almost over the worst part, then you can chill for a while and enjoy this time in your life.
