Should we serve wine at our wedding?!
Answers: We don't have a lot of money to spend on drinks at our wedding and don't want anyone to get drunk and rowdy. Should we or should we not spend money on some good wine?
I'd serve wine. Don't make em pay for it either, it's tacky
You should serve either good wine or none. You could always have a cash bar.
I would say to skip it. Or, have a wine punch along w/ a non-alcoholic punch, at the reception. A wine punch will go further than straight wine.
yes most deffinitely.. it wouldnt be tradition w/out it
You don't mention how many will be there, whether it is a small family wedding or a large sit down meal type of thing. We had just family at the meal and kept it small , so served wine and a toast of what ever peop;e wanted. Then at the reception everyone bought there own drinks, and we supplied a buffet for the evening guests. Hope this helps, but everyone hasd different thoughts on these things.
Do NOT do a cash bar. That is TACKY! People are your guests. You don't ask them to pay for the meal do you?
You could have wine paired with each course of the meal, and then you would reduce the risk of rowdy drunkenness. You could also have an open bar, but you will probably have a few people who drink too much.
skip the wine or have it as a cash bar
We had a cash bar and placed one bottle of red and one bottle of white at each of the tables. I'm not sure where you are located, but we went to a local winery and we were able to get a deal by buying full cases. We also served food during the dance so nobody would be drinking on an empty belly. Veggies and dip are good because salty snacks can make people thirsty.
If there are any people that you think may get drunk and rowdy you could always assign someone to keep an eye out for potential problems.
my fiance and I are having both beer and wine at ours.
Good luck
I would serve wine.
I went to one wedding, it didn't have wine and I left before the meal. Not that close with the couple, so whatever.
try making your own wine. fifty to sixty dollars for the juice to make 30 bottles. bottles cost about a buck a piece or ask a bar/restaurant to save them for you.
you can make your own labels for the occasion
