NOT AT MY WEDDING: A CASH BAR
I won't get married until my husband and I can afford an open bar.
There is something about a cash bar that turns your celebration into just another night. On my wedding day I want to be surrounded by my friends and family in their best form, and I know that means tipsy. A cash bar ruins that. It puts a wet blanket on your celebration. It wraps your celebration in caution tape that reads, "But don't have TOO much fun.
I want my guests to feel like just that, guests. They're schlepping across town, getting gussied up and showering me with presents in honor of my eternal love, the least I can do is feed them and get them properly liquored up.
If an open bar is going to break your bank, then maybe reconsider the size of your wedding to begin with, because after all... no one brings cash to a wedding.
