This week's discussion is about alcohol at a wedding.  This can be a really large chunk of your budget.  At our wedding, we opted to just have beer, wine, and two signature drinks instead of having an open bar.  That dropped our costs dramatically because we were able to choose cheaper liquor to use in our signature drinks.

A lot of budget brides debate on whether a cash bar is a good idea at their wedding.  They do this because they don't want to foot the cost for their guests getting drunk.  

I personally think it is extremely rude to have a cash bar at a wedding.  Your guests should never have to open up their wallet at your event.  Would you invite them over to your house and ask them to pay for their drink?  

I understand if you can't afford a full bar, but at least host some kind of drink for them, even if it's just beer and alcohol.  Or, you could do some kind of alcohol punch.  That would cut the costs drastically.

So Crystal, how do you feel about having a cash bar?
