[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s lunch? Just offer iced tea, lemonade, water,  sangria. No need for a cash bar, sheesh.[/quote]

I agree, it's lunch. It's also at a restaurant, so if someone wanted something different isn't there an actual bar they could go up to to pay for something else? For some reason that's better to me than having your own little "cash only" bar by the rest of the drinks. I'm an old school WASP with family members who would love a 3 martini lunch but I feel like you either do full bar (paid) or they...find their way. I'm the first to think a cash-only bar at a Sat night wedding is the tackiest thing EVER, but a grad student paying for their own party? Lunch? Sangria is fine. [/quote]

You do not need to provide alcohol at all.  As the host, whatever you decide should be graciously accepted by the guests.

I had my wedding reception at a fancy restaurant.  I (bride) paid for the reception since I was a working adult.  My husband and I drink maybe 1-5 drinks per year.  We offered a champagne toast with dinner and had champagne punch before dinner with the appetizers.

I noticed just a couple people out of 90 slipped down the hall to get  a beer.  Not sorry about saving $3K and avoiding the risk of a few crusty old man relatives stumbling around getting loud.

I think everyone had a nice time. And I expect the people at your lunch will too.
